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.”
It’s an extraordinarily original picture, one of the best low budget horror movies of all time. Horror movie? Horror, mystery, science fiction, whatever you want to call it! Tony Lo Bianco plays a religious cop who is faced with a seemingly random series of murders committed by various people who, when asked why, simply say “God told me to”. This is just the beginning of a very strange and fascinating story that will leave the viewer continually guessing! Lo Bianco was a last minute replacement for Robert Forster who was sacked after two days filming and a personality clash with Cohen. Lo Bianco gives a terrific performance, his best in my opinion after ‘The Honeymoon Killers’. The movie features a strong supporting cast: Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis, screen veterans Sylvia Sidney and Sam Levene, plus cult favourite Richard Lynch (‘Scarecrow’, ‘Open Season’, ‘The Ninth Configuration’), and even the movie debut of the enigmatic comedian Andy Kaufman. ‘God Told Me To’ is one of the 1970s most underrated horror/exploitation movies. Any fan of the genre must see it!
Although that the main character is not sympatic, this movie is really worth a watch. The idea is quite unique and the solution to the mystery is quited effed up :)
