31 Day Horror Challenge Day Fourteen: God Told Me To(1976)

If you’re following this list of films, you’ll definitely see a couple Larry Cohen films this year.  This one is definitely good and has good reason for the cult following it has gained.  Though it’s not a straight forward horror film, it definitely has its moments and it contains one of the creepiest scenes I can remember.  They certainly don’t make them like this anymore.

A Catholic detective begins investigating a group of murders in which the suspect always claims that God told them to commit these acts.  He soon is led to a mysterious cult leader who seems to be behind the whole thing.  However, he may be more than just a run of the mill cult leader and something much more sinister.

Larry Cohen is a fun, albeit cheesy director and this is definitely a good showcase.  It seems to have been forgotten but hopefully you go check it out after reading this.  Go, now!

8/10 stars.
