2001 ·1h 25m · ★ 4.9 (114)

The second coming is upon us, and Jesus has returned to earth. But before he can get down to the serious business of judging the living and the dead, he has to contend with an army of vampires that can walk in the daylight.

Why it matters

A gleefully offbeat mashup of camp, cult cinema, and absurdist horror with a punk rock heart.

  • A midnight movie staple that blends exploitation cheek with sincere genre affection—think John Waters meets George Romero.
  • Delivers DIY charm with practical effects and earnest performances that elevate its B-movie trappings.
  • Perfect for fans of queer horror, cult oddities, and films that don’t take themselves too seriously but still pack a thematic punch.
  • Subverts vampire tropes by injecting religious iconography into a daylight-slaying bloodsucker saga, reflecting early-2000s indie horror’s appetite for genre mashups.
