Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (4 Stars)


If there's ever a film that you might be tempted to buy just because of it's title, this is it. A film with this name has to perk your curiosity. IMDB describes it as a "kung-fu action comedy horror musical about the second coming". That aptly sums it up. This Canadian film was made on a small budget, but it's surprisingly good. The song and dance routines are well choreographed. The humour is irreverent and blasphemous, but it's funny.

Two priests discover that vampires are killing lesbians. They request help from Jesus, who has returned to Earth and is in the process of baptising disciples in Ottawa. I guess he needs to start somewhere. At first he says that his mission on Earth is more important than fighting vampires, but when three vampires arrive and kill the priests he changes his mind.

Jesus is aided in his battle against vampires by the leather clad biker girl Mary Magnum, but after she's killed he teams up with the masked Mexican wrestler El Santos. The film continues with amazing action including kung fu kicking Messiahs, lesbian vampire wrestlers and talking ice cream sundaes.
