The filmmaking team that brought you Harry Knuckles and won the "Spirit of Slamdance" prize with Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy ups the ante with this tale of the ultimate action hero: Jesus Christ. The second coming is upon us, and Jesus has returned to earth. But before he can get down to the serious business of judging the living and the dead, he has to contend with an army of vampires that can walk in the daylight. Combining kung-fu action with biblical prophecy and a liberal dose of humour, the film teams the Savoir with Mexican wrestling hero El Santos against mythological horrors and science gone mad, and also manages to address contemporary sexual politics. And did we mention that it's a musical? This sure ain't Sunday School. -- © 2001 Odessa Filmworks [More]

Reviews for Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
It will offend those who are offended by the very title; it will probably thrill those who take one look at the title and immediately want to see the film.
The results are uneven and occasionally mind-bogglingly bad (which is partly the point), but they're never what you'd call dull.
[B]izarre and funny and full of the good Jesus stuff that no one could argue with...
And what, pray tell, is the Big JC doing wasting his time helping Canadians?
The basic premise alone is worth the price of admission for this one.
