And the award for weirdest genre offering of 1976 goes to.....GOD TOLD ME TO by Larry Cohen! Always a diretor known for the strange and offbeat, this film has to be one of the most cynical and creepiest to emerge from the end of that decade.
The plot follows a police officer(Tony Lo Bianco) who investigates a series of seemingly, motiveless crimes in the Big Apple. Each time the murderer is apprehended, he explains his rationale by saying, "god told me to". This eventually leads through a complex ... Read More

In 1976 writer-director Larry Cohen made a philosophical exploitation movie that tried to capitalize on the popularity of the Catholic-believer-meets-the-Devil story of The Exorcist and anticipated the average-guy-learns-he-has-a-connection-to-UFOs story of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
This was the film God Told Me To, which underneath it all was not about God.
I think Cohen expressed his Vietnam-era paranoia best in the TV shows he created in the 1960s--especially Coronet ... Read More

This film by Larry Cohen was very strange, I don't think I understood what was going on the first time I watched it so I had to watch it again.

Promising start. A sniper kills people, seemingly randomly. When asked why, he says "God told me to". Other mass murders occur, and the murderers all claim that God told them to do it.
After 25 minutes the mystery slowly starts to unfold. There is a "sect" of middleaged and elderly men who have been gathered telepathically. They know what is going on. UFO:s in the past explain some mysterius births. And "God" turns out to be not too impressive. Why, oh why, did they try to explain it all so stupidly? ... Read More

"God Told Me To" is in many ways Larry Cohen's best picture, which probably isn't saying all that much to people unaccustomed to the confines of schlock cinema. Viewers who never watch anything that doesn't play at the local Cineplex will look upon this picture with a sense of mounting dread over the low production values and haphazard plot lines. I, however, am the King of Bad Cinema, and my realm contains a round table where Sir Cohen sits with Lord Herschell Gordon Lewis, Baron William Castle, and Sir Roger Corman ... Read More
