Ridiculously Bad...But In The Weirdest Possible Way!
meddlecore13 July 2023
The title of this film loosely translates to "Take Your Bible And Get Out Of Here".

It's a ridiculously weird, and cheesy, blend of apocalyptic sci-fi, comedy, and horror.

With loads of low budget effects, creature costumes, and even some animation.

After murdering an alien who was sent to warn humanity about the trajectory of a comet, bound for Earth, carrying a zombie-inducing virus.

The small French town of Ham, ends up becoming ground zero, for the onset of this deadly plague.

Which quickly begins to effect it's residents.

Leaving the unaffected, to fight off a horde of zombies- not only to fight for their own survival...but for the sake of humanity, as well.

Meanwhile, a low-level extraterrestrial pirate has accepted a contract, to embark on a mission to find the missing ambassador of the Atrarians.

Only to find out that he is being hunted (by a rival bounty hunter), himself.

Not to mention a horde of zombies.

The whole thing is rather bad...but in the best possible way!

Sure, most of the gore is either animated, or really bad CGI.

And the acting is pretty bad.

But it makes up for it's shortcomings, with some great cult style...a cast of over the top characters (including some reptilian politicians)...and a story so absurd...you can't help but be won over by it.

Plus, it's barely over an hour.

So it doesn't force you to invest a lot of time to get into.

The title refers to one of the film's anti-heroes.

A self-styled soapbox preacher, and snake oil salesman...who finds himself fighting on the frontlines- alongside a bum, prostitute, and old crone- for the sake of humanity.

The best part of this film is definitely the animation.

Which is actually pretty good!

And gives the whole thing a sort of comic book vibe.

With the creature effects being pretty decent as well.

Especially considering what they must have had for a budget.

I don't want to give away the twist...but if you hadn't already been won over by it's sheer and utter cheesiness...the twist should certainly do the job.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

And it seems like the cast and crew had as much fun making the film, as I did watching it.

It's definitely worth investing an hour of your time in.

You won't be disappointed.

Because it might be ridiculously bad...but it's ridiculously bad in the weirdest possible way!

Thanks for this fun revew. Indeed i made this film with the toilett paper budget of à Troma movie.

It was made with a lot of love and passion for the genre. I filmed during years wih big gaps, and i decided to put more and more things, like aliens, spaceships, and i put animation séquences to show the moments i couldn't shot. 6 years of post production with friends on their sparetime.

It was a long human aventure that made with love and no money.

12 years in the making. And obvioussly assumed to be very Z and cheezy. 😉

If i love this little film, it never intended to be a big film like the film i wanted to do à tribute. But it was à love letter to my childhood favorite films.

Sorry for the bad english. 😀
