    WHY?

    There is absolutely no reason a movie like this should exist. Every single second of it is unnecessary. But it's a wild ride from beginning to end: violence, romance, suspense, mystery, gore, broken families, heartache, religion, ridiculousness, and more! It is a cultural journey through the complicated religious connections of the world. It's true marvel of cinema. Genius is the only way to describe it.

    Please watch this flawless piece of art and share with everyone you know.

    10 STARS - ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. A MUST-WATCH

    This is nothing but a hilarious ride from start to finish, a mangled heap of god-awful props, dialogue, costuming, lighting, special effects, and acting jammed into an inexplicable plot by a genius director who manages to make a very bad movie on purpose without any shred of pretense or shame. The ninja fight scene is what Mortal Kombat would look like if it got hijacked by a kindergarten drama class.

    Watch this movie. It's terrible. It's schlocky. You'll love it.

    Best movie I've ever watched in the history of my life

    Watch now, you won't be disappointed. I love the part when he turns into a raptor

    Pure ridiculous cheese

    This was glorious. Pure batsh** cheese. So much better than I could have even hoped for.

    Brendan Steere, Alyssa Kempinski, and Greg Cohan are a dino-mite team in The VelociPastor. Pretty much everything about the movie was perfect; if you're a fan of low-budget horror-comedies, it's a must-see. It has everything you could ask for - perfectly timed, groan-worthy lines, props that look like they came from a school play, and actors that embrace every bit of the cheese potential.

    This had me roaring with laughter several times. It's the type of movie that, honestly, if you don't look at the poster and go "Oh, my God, I need this" then you need to just back away slowly. It's crude, loud, and ridiculous and amazingly good. Steere manages to bring the feel of the 70s to the screen in the best way. And when you add ninjas and a VelociPastor, really, there's nothing else you dare ask for.

    Part of (okay, most of) what makes The VelociPastor so great is that Kempinksi and Cohan (a better-looking version of Benedict Cumberbatch) act the hell out of it. It's stupid cheesy, and yet they manage such solid performances that you can't help but admire them.

    Overall, this is a near perfect movie and I (and Sam, who also watched and gave her input here) recommend it to everyone. Lots of action, lots of laughter, lots of fun.

    Disclaimer: I received a screening link to this movie from the publicist for review consideration.

    There is a terrible shortage of doctor lawyers in this world, watch this film and share it with others

    Let's be real, it's a very cheap very cheesy movie. If you want to have fun, maybe have some friends over, then this would be a great party movie. I loved it. It is no Citizen Kane but it's just the thing to raise the spirits.
