God Told Me to [Blu-ray]

Product Description

A rooftop sniper guns down 14 pedestrians on the streets of New York City. A mild-mannered dad takes a shotgun and blows away his wife and children. A cop goes on a sudden shooting spree at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. And each of these unlikely killers makes the same dying confession: “God told me to.” Now a repressed Catholic NYPD detective (Tony Lo Bianco) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith, alien insemination and his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan.

Review

One of Time Out New York’s 100 Best Horror Films: ‘GOD TOLD ME TO is without question one of darkest, sharpest, oddest films on this list, a tale of serial murder, religious mania and alien abduction shot on some of mid-’70s New York’s least salubrious streets. Cohen deserves to be mentioned alongside Carpenter and Craven in the horror canon…and this might be his masterpiece!’ –Time Out New York

‘EXTRAORDINARY… One Hell Of A Scary Movie!’ –The Soho News

‘Hugely Entertaining!’ –TV Guide
