GOD TOLD ME TO

Random New Yorkers are committing brutal murders because "God told them to..." New 4k restoration!

"Extraordinary! One Hell Of A Scary Movie!" -The Soho News

"I wasn't going to see it--God, indeed, seemed to be telling me not to--but then I read the press release and knew immediately this was a movie I had to see." -Roger Ebert

"A swirling combination of conspiracy theories, religious lunacy, horror and sci-fi trappings and some genuinely chilly, sometimes almost prophetic...scenes of chaos." -Ian Jane, RockShockPop.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 Serpment"), 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") star in this one-of-a-kind chiller. New 4k restoration!
