As you'd expect from the title, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is a trashy indie flick that throws a ton of different ingredients into the mix in a bid to make something stick, but the attempt is a failure. The comedy is forced and unfunny and the rest just drags out in an endless array of awful acting and non-existent production values. Jesus fights evil in the modern day and there's some terrible attempted kung fu. Santo plays in support for some reason, and expect a little gore to boot. I'm not averse to indie cinema but films this cheap and mindless really do take the biscuit.
... View MoreThere is a difference between an honest b-movie and completely amateur crap. Watch this movie.It will assist you in learning to know the difference. I am sure that a bunch of pals had a great time making this film. I am equally certain that there is no need to inflict it upon a wider world. My suspicion is that this was done for a bet to see if people could be persuaded to buy it, it is so consciously bad that it is impossible to see it in any other light. Other reviewers have suggested a "good enough, lets cut and move on" mentality, I suggest that not even a brain-dead monkey could view 90% of this as good enough. I dread to think what was left on the cutting-room floor.

I can't say I've ever gone in for B-movies before but I thought this one was brilliant.Highlights for me included Mary Magnum, the good Transvestite (!) and the entrance of Santos. In fact, just Santos in general, he was excellent.As someone else mentioned, the actor playing Jesus Christ is actually very good. I loved the way that Jesus was originally called into action by the punk priest whilst apparently baptising people. The writers clearly knew their bible-stories, apparently - and so a great deal of the film comes across as intelligent and well thought-out, cf. the sermon at the end.All in all, there are so many fantastic ideas and pleasant surprises in this film. Really enjoyable.
... View MoreThis movie is awesome. Done with an extreme low budget, to look like it is from the 70's, it is the most entertaining and funny kung fu/vampire/horror/comedy/musical about Jesus ever made! The plot follows as lesbian vampires are sprouting up all over town, the priests call upon Jesus to help. These vampires can also walk in Daylight. Jesus comes to town and kicks some vampire butt! But the vampires are sometimes too much for him, so Jesus asks for help from wrester Santos. They all team up and make one of the most entertaining and fun films ever. The coolest thing is, it looks like this movie was made in the 70's, with some bad voice dubbing, and some horrible looking effects (that are also funny). There is even a cameo by God, and Virgin Mary! This movie isn't too offensive, not nearly as you think it'd be. Definitely the best religious film ever. See it now!
