The Land of College Prophets

This is a pretty funny film. It is very strange almost like a Cronenberg Film but with a lot more humor. It's a cult film in the deepest sense of the meaning so honestly if you don't like cult films stay the heck away. On the other hand you like Camp Horror and action all rolled into one this is your film. The stories a little confusing here and there but it's really more about the characters, their interaction. It's a cool concept something like back yard super hero's or something like that. You can tell it had a low budget but it has great costumes and sets like the well. For such a small film it's leaps and bounds above other shoe string films. It's worth a rental, worth a rental indeed.

"Land of the College Prophets" utilizes its low budget to good effect. The saga-engrossed characters meet challenges and villains all against the constant backdrop of today's mundane culture. The College Prophets are really about imagination striking out in the middle of Coca Cola land. Their parallel universe occasionally collides with the mundane and usually the mundane loses. Mike Aransky, Phillip Guerette and Thomas Edward Seymour are to be thanked for their robust homage to every great saga comic we've seen. Watch for Russ Russo too in a standout as Jonah Joe, a purist in the world of fighting. All in all, it's an exploration of point-of-view, exclusively from inside the saga. All the rules of the world don't work anymore, only the dark laws of the land of the College Prophets. John Huff

You will either absolutely hate this movie, or really love it. There is no in between with most Cult movies and this project is no exception. If it clicks with you, it's a genuine treat. If it doesn't then watching 20 minutes of it would be too much. Also, definitely not a girl movie.

I watched it with a group of friends, some of them enjoyed it and seemed to "get it" on whatever level. The others "got it" in a different way and had a ball ripping it apart. Those two guys spent another hour skipping back and re-watching some scenes.

Either way it's worth the 10 bucks.

Great film, which demonstrates what can be achieved on a budget.

There's credible acting, fantastic fight choreography.

There's also some unexpectedly serious gore and gorgeous cinematography - all of which combines to make you realise LAND OF COLLEGE PROPHETS is a masterpiece of low budget, independent cinema.

Great fun, and surprisingly moving at times too. A muscle fest for the main part though ... recommended!

Good luck to Tom, Phil and the guys on their next project.

Please support the collective, as there is huge promise in films like this.

This is one of those movies that looks promising. But it really lets that promise down. It's neither good or bad good (in the campy sense), merely very very boring. And that's how a film really fails.

The apparent aim was to make a campy sort of movie - you have a cast of ridiculous characters seemingly out of various animated comedies like Sealab, King of the Hill and possibly South Park. You have one bald guy who likes to dress like a priest, another guy who wears army fatigues (and looks like the guy who mutters from King of the Hill), a goofy Science Teacher, another bald guy who wears a deck of cards on his arm.

The trouble is, none of the concepts really works. All of the actors play their roles too tightly, and it comes off as more pretentious than anything else. The only exception would be the campus cop leader.

The plot apparently revolves around a romantic dispute over a guy in drag. This was when I started putting the DVD player on "x4". Nothing much happens, but near the end we get sort of a surreal sort of fight with a guy painted blue and wearing a helmet and everyone else.
