Quotes
Narrator: Meet Roscoe Boone. The hooting-est, hollering-est, phoniest preacher man who ever hell-fired and damnationed a congregation.
Rev. Roscoe Boone: [preaching from the pulpit in his small church; a young woman dressed only in her underwear is standing nearby.] Corinthians done sayeth: "It is better to marry than to be aflame with passion." Now, all you boys with passion get in line there.
Rev. Roscoe Boone: [a dozen men start pawing and kissing the young woman] That's nice. Now, everybody kiss the bride.

A Moonshine Film Wrapped in Religion

A redneck con artist (Jeffrey Allen) sets himself up as a preacher in a small Deep South town to run his moonshine distillery and clashes with a number of locals and a federal agent bent on shutting his operation down.

Although H. G. Lewis is known for his gore films, he also made some "southern" films and some "moonshine" films. This one is not gore, but it is certainly the other two. And it combined alcohol and religion in a very strange way... this cult seems more interested in drinking the "blood of Christ" than worshiping God.

This is definitely not the worst film Lewis ever made, but it is far from the best. Apparently he had access to a spare room in a radio station in Oklahoma and filmed most of this picture in there. The writing is good, the acting is actually decent, but it still falls flat. Outside of Lewis fans or those who want to see Larry Drake in his debut role, I am not sure exactly what the appeal might be.
