Jesus Christ is called upon when the lesbian population of Ottawa begins to dwindle thanks impart to daywalking vampires. Seeing as he might be outnumber, Jesus calls upon the services of The Saint of Wrestlers, El Santo, to help in his cause.It's a Horror movie! It's a Bollywood movie! An overdubbed kung-fu movie! A religious epic! It's a wrestling movie! Allll rolled into one. JCVH has got to be one of the most weirdest movies I've ever laid eyes on. Made lovingly by a fan of all the genres. Made on a low budget (and I'm talking looow), this film has taken a life of it's own and has found itself on the shelf of many a genre fan. I think what makes it so is that it doesn't take itself seriously. It knows that it's poorly made and that it doesn't have the sheen of a professionally made film. And you know what? It doesn't matter. It is what is. Take it for what it's worth.
All that mattered is that it was made in fun and wasn't expecting such acclaim.
Now many will say "oh, this was poorly done. Oh, this was overdubbed. Oh, the acting was bad." and I say to them "Get a life!!" Who said they were aiming for the Oscar. Again, yes, all this is true....but who cares. Everyone is having fun. Including the viewer. So sit back, relax, get you some popcorn, maybe a nice cold beverage and relax. Have some fun. It won't hurt ya you know.
Definitely something for the collection. A must see and a must own.
two and a half stars.
