Review – God Told Me To

Strange, cheap little horror movies like this are a dime a dozen in the 21st century world of digital production and straight-to-video releasing. But back in 1976 when making movies actually cost money, such pictures were a rarer breed. An NYC detective tries to figure out why several denizens of that fair city have gone mad, murdered their fellow citizens, and by way of explanation for their crimes offered only the title phrase. His search for answers leads him to an otherworldly entity and some of the strangest psycho-sexual horror ever committed to celluloid. Though the production suffers from several problems endemic to its age – particularly some unpleasant racism – it nonetheless supplies a few good chills. Mildly amusing
