Of course, I've also heard good things about a lot of indie horror flicks that I watched and just went, What?! This movies starts off by introducing us to four actors competing for the stage play role of Jesus Christ: a black militant, Rahim (Jeff Gilbert, channeling Samuel L. Jackson); a hippie, Sky (Tim Gouran, channeling Val Kilmer); a principled Jew, Joshua (Todd Licea, channeling Paul Rieser); and a free-spirited redhead, Jesse (Angie Louise, channeling Geena Davis). The former strangers become fast friends and decide to hit the road on hogs, ala Easy Rider. The quartet find themselves stranded in the evangelical town of Jackville (a burg straight from a John Waters movie, secretly populated by characters right out of a Russ Meyer girl-on-girl fantasy). To say much more would give the game away. You probably noticed I've made a lot of comparisons when talking about Gory Gory Hallelujah, but unlike most movies that remind me of other movies, it s not derivative. It s a hard film to pigeonhole. Even though it is not strictly a musical, it conjures up the look and feel of spoofing (and giving homage to) movies like Tommy, Jesus Christ Superstar, and A Chorus Line. Even though it is not strictly a zombie movie, it definitely conjures up sense-memories from Dawn of the Dead. One thing Gory Gory Hallelujah is, and what it shines at, is divine comedy; it feels like a vague mix of Eating Raoul, Hairspray, and a movie Mel Brooks hasn't made yet. Now, I am probably heaping the praise on too high. I don t want you to be disappointed when you see it. Gory Gory Hallelujah is not the Second Coming, but it's fun and has a bang-up ending. I have to give kudos to the writer and director team of Angie Louise and Sue Corcoran, aka The Von Piglet Sisters as they succeeded on every level. Even the look isn't cheap; somebody knew about lighting, thank god (this is almost never the case in these low-bud --Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com Top 10 Movies of 2003. 2003 will be remembered as one of the best years for movies in recent memory. #5 Gory Gory Hallelujah. A bawdy, surreal art-musical with zombies that also happens to be the most intelligent film about Christianity in ages. Loved it! --Jonathan Lampley, Nashville Rage Black Power Jesus, Female Jesus, Bisexual Hippie Jesus, and Jewish Jesus (I know, but this is modern Jewish Jesus) set out from Seattle on a madcap road trip to audition for Jesus Christ Superstar in the Big Apple. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, right? Well it is, in a way. A fun, rollicking cinematic abomination. Like a cross between Wizard of Oz and Rocky Horror Picture Show, this slippery, gaudy toboggan ride to hell will leave you asking yourself, "Did they just do that?" Given the right audience seeing this film could make you feel nine kinds of ridiculous and laugh so hard you pee your pants --Portland Mercury
