Forget that hack Van Helsing, for true extermination of the fanged undead believers turn to the one and only sandaled slayer, Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. Having returned to Earth for the eagerly ant... read more read more...icipated Second Coming, Jesus finds his bid to judge the living interrupted by a horde of angry bloodsuckers who possess the ability to walk in daylight. Of course even Jesus needs a hand now and then when it comes to battling the legions of the undead, and Mexican wrestling hero El Santo is more than eager to pitch in and do his part to ensure a safe Judgment Day. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Set in Ottawa, Canada, the title says it all really, and so the dance number interestingly comes as no surprise. Everything here is half baked, on purpose, and it loses steam in the second half. You will wonder how your mom and dad feel about what you are actually doing with th... read moree life provided you. Its that bad.

    The Son of God brings retired Mexican wrestler El Santo out of retirement to fight vampires who prey exclusively on lesbians. Delivers a few chuckles and nicely absurd moments, but not that many more than you get from the title and a one line plot synopsis. Not terrible, surpri... read moresingly, but needed one more musical number to put it over the top.

    From my "So Bad It's GOOD" list. This film is hilarious.

    A musical dance number about the second coming, god talks to his son through a bowl of ice cream... uh, and Jesus teams up with the Mexican God of Wrestling to take out a a gang of lesbian vampires who walk around during the day with a second coating of grafted skin.

    Bad. Terr... read moreible. Obscene. Low-Budget. There are so many hyperboles for this movie... and watching it amounts to yelling "What!?" at the TV every few minutes.

    A batman style spinning screen transition with an image of Jesus on a cross, and the sound effect of "Jee-ssuuuuus!" A never ending clown-car filled van of Agnostic martial artists? All wrapped around a plot that so desperately wants to be a porn movie. Apparently, when all the actors are pretty much the directors closest friends, its hard to say "take your top off.", so basically its like a cheesy porn film without the porn... which, in some ways, is pretty refreshing.

    Yeah. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Wow, never seeing that again. But I'd never for a moment think that that would dissuade anyone from seeing a film like this... the premise is too absurd to pass up, nomatter how poorly done. Yet another fine example of cinematic rubbernecking.

    Gosh, what a terrible flick. It feels very amateurish and home-made. Jesus isn't traditionally potrayed, which was disappointing. It's just a lot of kung-fu battles with different suited baddies. They failed to create any interesting atmosphere or story. Technically, it isn't the... read more best production either. The concept sounds great, but they don't execute it well. The vampires just don't stand up very well. Groan. Lame. Cheap. Cheesy. Spare us.

    This is something that has to be seen to be believed. I don't know why anyone would want to re-create the hideous set design, colour palette and sound infidelity of cheesy 1970s movies, but here it is, back in all its glory. The cheese aside, this movie was kind of fun to watch, ... read moreand it was mercifully brief. I still don't know what to make of it. It's not good enough to be rated better, but it's too exuberantly fun to slam and dismiss.

    Oh my... XD. This b movie is so seriously bad, it's seriously good. It's one of the funniest weirdest film I've ever watched. It seriously made me laugh so I have decided to make it a 3 star film. This film was made in 2000 but the set design, film quality was of the '70s. That I... read more believe is a success. Lee really made the whole thing look like it was made in the '70s. You want to hate this film but at the same time it gives you the inner guilty pleasure and fun. "Let's get on with the conversions!"
  • July 8, 2008
    I love this movie. It's probably the most fucked up thing ever released. I mean, there's a stop-motion kick, God talks through an ice-cream and even El Santo appears!!! A must-see for those who find this kind of cheap parodic crap funny.
  • January 12, 2008
    An interesting film.
  • February 21, 2012
    Troma film. Fun with friends. The fight with the atheists was the best. Although Jesus shaves about 1/4 of the way into the movie

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. Full Review

The results are uneven and occasionally mind-bogglingly bad (which is partly the point), but they're never what you'd call dull. Full Review

The basic premise alone is worth the price of admission for this one. Full Review
