I Am The God of Hell Fire!

 

BURNING HELL-1974-A preacher tries to convince everyone that the Bible says there is a real Hell and sinners will burn there forever if they do not repent and accept Jesus. He's mocked by 2 bikers but when one of them is decapitated the other goes to hear the preacher's sermon which tells the story of a king of Babylon who goes to Hell where sinners are a burnt bloody mess. Maggots eat up Herod in another scene. Then there's the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. The greedy rich man winds up frying in Hell while the beggar Lazarus ascends to heaven and sits with Abraham (who looks like Rip Van Winkle). "The Bible says" is his favorite term. 

This Christian scare film is badly made and acted and co-written and directed by Ron Ormond who along with his wife June and son Tim (who plays the surviving biker in this) made many more religiously twisted exploitation films.

Thanks for reading!

Denmark




VALHALLA RISING-2009- A warrior called One Eye (Mads Mikkelsen) escapes his captors in 1000 AD. He joins up with some Christian crusaders (?) and discovers a new land. He's accompanied by Are (Marteen Stevenson), a mute slave boy who suddenly starts talking toward the end. After breaking away from the Crusaders he's hacked to death by (North American?) Indians. This is not an action packed sword slashing Viking battle epic as some might suspect from the title. There's excellent direction and photography but it might leave some viewers scratching their heads. Hey, my head was itchy anyway! 

Denmark director Nicolas Winding Refn's name is (at the time of this writing) attached to a LOGAN'S RUN remake.
