God Told Me To (1976)
Playing as part of Academy's Easter programming April 15th - 18th!
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) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith, alien insemination and his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan.
An unsetting and wholly unique sci-fi/horror/crime hybrid from the director of IT'S ALIVE!
One of Time Out New York's 100 Best Horror Films: 'GOD TOLD ME TO is without question one of darkest, sharpest, oddest films on this list, a tale of serial murder, religious mania and alien abduction shot on some of mid-'70s New York's least salubrious streets. Cohen deserves to be mentioned alongside Carpenter and Craven in the horror canon...and this might be his masterpiece!' --Time Out New York
