Gory Gory Hallelujah

Its sounds like one of those religious jokes " four Jesus's walk into a bar......"What follows is a bar brawl with Elvis impersonators, including a "Midget Elvis" (Elvi?)and unfair incarceration. A crooked town administration and Jury and a coven of witches round out the excellent and intricate cast of characters in this comedy/horror. It is unfortunate that this incredibly entertaining and sometime cynical film is listed in some circles as campy, this film is definitely more witty than the term 'Camp' implies. Although Troma film fans will not be disappointed. The plot follows four wannabe actors all vying for the part of Jesus in a play, who lose the part to the plays director. THey head to New York on a cross country road trip(on Motorcycles no less!) and end up in a completely screwed up small town where the townspeople are messed up and good intentions go bad, and where a savior is the most unlikely one. Throw in a few dozen 'undead'and the plot takes off! Gr Gory Gory is especially applicable in todays political climate. Highly recommended.

A wonderful and delightful rare treat. A laid back movie that allows for one being open to possibility. Funny and not to concerning total enjoyment,if your open? I found myself thinking about GOry Gory Hallelujah 2. Though I realized sometimes or most times you can not repeat the simple things.

Nice to see a movie like this in times like ours, light and enjoyable. I can not remember seeing a movie, with roots to the local community give so much. All the characters brought a deal of realism about themselves to the screen. This for me made the movie, we all can identify with the characters, thus allowing for laughter. I added this one to my personal Library.

I'm a big fan of the show :) And it is not just because I am in it! Sue and Angie did an amazing job every step of the way to ensure a high level of quality and to see their vision come from the page to the screen. This gory-horror-comedy focuses on 4 unique characters and the trials they meet along their travels. From the big city to a very small town, there are lots of interesting people from Elvis to zombies, the theatre to the church. The variety of situations the main characters find themselves in is hilarious...you never know what to expect. With lots of comedic action, it will keep you engaged all the way through...with surprises around every corner!

...and now we want eradicate the pressure upon our brain cells for being subjected to such torture. lab rats could have asked for better. this erotic, a.k.a. one demented bloody breasted woman, zombie thriller where the zombies only appeared at the end is not actually zombie movie. what it really is remains to be known. however, i do know that no one should ever watch this even if you are hosting bad movie night. it is rivaled only by manos: the hands of fate and any movie with Paris hilton. the only thing that would have saved this movie is street luging zombies with a male identified lesbian named helga. and you reading this, i don't get this and neither should you. it is just the side effects of gory gory hallelujah.

A friend of mine was able to get ahold of a DVD of this flick and brought it to a movie night - Oh my God it blew me away! Wacked. But brilliant, too, in it's dark, harsh wit (nothing is sacred, not even goats). Definitely different, definitely surprising and delightful. I love independent film and occasionally the raw freshness of first films (that is, if they're not just trying to emulate Hollywood), and this had that fresh touch without being clumsy, and enough real smarts to make me feel like I was on the ground floor of something great.

It's a comedy that makes fun of fear-fueled "family" values and all things self- righteous. Four actors meet at a casting call for the role that each of them has fashioned their (very different) lives after. The role: Jesus. Who gets the part? None of them. So they hit the road together, but end up facing a horrible world filled with back- woods xenophobes and a coke-snorting gang of Elvises. How will each of them use their image of holiness to concur these evils?

Can I just say that the Black Power Jesus was fantastic. Like most things holy: beautiful, powerful, and ridiculous.
