Possibly the Cohen joint that brims with the most all-pervasive invention and danger Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- There were times when I thought the projectionist was showing the reels in random order, as a quiet joke on the hapless audience. Full Review

Here the machinery of divine intervention is taken for a freaky secular spin via the familiar cinematic modes of urban realism and even science fiction, and a detective mystery becomes a mystery rite. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Though not among Larry Cohen's most wholly satisfying productions, God Told Me To should prove a worthwhile curiosity to fans of 70's era horror movies told with a decidedly 'cop flick' feel. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Not Cohen's best, but perversely fascinating

Rating: 4/5 -- There's an underlying satire that isn't only comedy- it's brutal, seething, horrific blasphemy. And it's intoxicating. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- only those who are intensely religious will be offended; the rest of us can just smile at the film's simple and entertaining absurdity Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

A rooftop sniper guns down 14 pedestrians on the streets of New York City. A mild-mannered dad takes a shotgun and blows away his wife and children. A cop goes on a sudden shooting spree at the St. Patrick's Day Parade. And each of these unlikely killers makes the same dying confession: "God told me to." Now a repressed Catholic NYPD detective (Tony Lo Bianco of THE HONEYMOON KILLERS and THE FRENCH CONNECTION) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith, alien insemination and his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan for the soul of mankind. Written, produced and directed by Larry Cohen (Q - THE WINGED SERPENT), this critically acclaimed cult classic remains one of the most disturbing and thought-provoking horror films of our time. Deborah Raffin (DEATH WISH 3), Sandy Dennis (WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?), Sylvia Sidney (BEETLEJUICE), Mike Kellin (SLEEPAWAY CAMP), Richard Lynch (BAD DREAMS), and Andy Kaufman (TAXI) co-star in this one-of-a-kind chiller, now featuring a brand-new 4K High Definition transfer from the original uncensored negative along with exclusive new Extras created especially for this release!
