Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
It will offend those who are offended by the very title; it will probably thrill those who take one look at the title and immediately want to see the film.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The results are uneven and occasionally mind-bogglingly bad (which is partly the point), but they're never what you'd call dull.

MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher
[B]izarre and funny and full of the good Jesus stuff that no one could argue with...

Jon Popick, Planet Sick-Boy
And what, pray tell, is the Big JC doing wasting his time helping Canadians?
-
Eric Campos, Film Threat
The basic premise alone is worth the price of admission for this one.

Set in Ottawa, Canada, the title says it all really, and so the dance number interestingly comes as no surprise. Everything here is half baked, on purpose, and it loses steam in the second half. You will wonder how your mom and dad feel about what you are actually doing with the life provided you. Its that bad.

The Son of God brings retired Mexican wrestler El Santo out of retirement to fight vampires who prey exclusively on lesbians. Delivers a few chuckles and nicely absurd moments, but not that many more than you get from the title and a one line plot synopsis. Not terrible, surprisingly, but needed one more musical number to put it over the top.

From my "So Bad It's GOOD" list. This film is hilarious.

A musical dance number about the second coming, god talks to his son through a bowl of ice cream... uh, and Jesus teams up with the Mexican God of Wrestling to take out a a gang of lesbian vampires who walk around during the day with a second coating of grafted skin.

Bad. Terrible. Obscene. Low-Budget. There are so many hyperboles for this movie... and watching it amounts to yelling "What!?" at the TV every few minutes.
A batman style spinning screen transition with an image of Jesus on a cross, and the sound effect of "Jee-ssuuuuus!" A never ending clown-car filled van of Agnostic martial artists? All wrapped around a plot that so desperately wants to be a porn movie. Apparently, when all the actors are pretty much the directors closest friends, its hard to say "take your top off.", so basically its like a cheesy porn film without the porn... which, in some ways, is pretty refreshing.
Yeah. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Wow, never seeing that again. But I'd never for a moment think that that would dissuade anyone from seeing a film like this... the premise is too absurd to pass up, nomatter how poorly done. Yet another fine example of cinematic rubbernecking.

Gosh, what a terrible flick. It feels very amateurish and home-made. Jesus isn't traditionally potrayed, which was disappointing. It's just a lot of kung-fu battles with different suited baddies. They failed to create any interesting atmosphere or story. Technically, it isn't the best production either. The concept sounds great, but they don't execute it well. The vampires just don't stand up very well. Groan. Lame. Cheap. Cheesy. Spare us.

This is something that has to be seen to be believed. I don't know why anyone would want to re-create the hideous set design, colour palette and sound infidelity of cheesy 1970s movies, but here it is, back in all its glory. The cheese aside, this movie was kind of fun to watch,… More
This is something that has to be seen to be believed. I don't know why anyone would want to re-create the hideous set design, colour palette and sound infidelity of cheesy 1970s movies, but here it is, back in all its glory. The cheese aside, this movie was kind of fun to watch, and it was mercifully brief. I still don't know what to make of it. It's not good enough to be rated better, but it's too exuberantly fun to slam and dismiss.

With a title like Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter you would at least expect the movie to be somewhat entertaining, right? Wrong! Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is low budget film-making at its worst without any appeal.
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter plot is self explained in the title; which is all the explanation you will ever get. For starter, the film biggest problem is that the movie won't shut up! There is rarely a moment of silence in the film and the movie soundtrack is terrible. There is literally a song in this movie that literally just repeats "Do-Dat-Do-Dat-Doodliy-Dee-Be-Boo-Bop" for three minutes. The film has no plot to speak off. Scenes go nowhere and the rare minimal dialogue does nothing to explain what is going on. The writing here is just utter nonsense with no rhythm and a absence of continuity. Why did Jesus Christ have a pointless musical number revealing his presence on Earth? Why did God communicate with Jesus via cherry ice-scream? What is famous Mexican wrestler El Santo doing in this movie? Why does El Santo have no accent? How did Jesus Christ kill vampires with light even though the movie establish these vampire are immune to light? I have no answers to any of the following questions and neither does the movie for that matter. It's utter nonsense in a form of a very stupid movie that will even have the truest of believer doubting its existence.
My major problem with the film, aside from no plot and a terrible soundtrack, is everything else. The fight scenes are poorly choreographed and are very, very, very, very slow. It takes these actors around eight seconds to punch someone and another eight or twenty to decide to hit back. One of the most ridiculous scene in the movie has Jesus Christ beating up around forty aesthesis who all just so happen to fit in a small van. The acting is....non existent. No one even puts an effort in their role let alone even change their facial expression. Also to all film makers everywhere, no one wants to see man who's dress like a woman, in lingerie, flirting and kissing Jesus Christ goodnight with horror music playing in the scene. Yes everything is done poorly intentionally, but it works against the film itself. It has no charm to it and just comes out a lazy film making without any passion in it. The only redeeming quality about this movie is that it's short, but it'll likely feel like an eternity due to the lack of enjoyment this provides.
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is pointless, lacks dialogue for 90 percent of it duration, contains a terrible soundtrack that rarely stops, and a lack of enjoyment for the viewer. We might not be able to prove Jesus Christ existence, but we could at least pretend the low budget abomination that is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is non-existence.

Oh my... XD. This b movie is so seriously bad, it's seriously good. It's one of the funniest weirdest film I've ever watched. It seriously made me laugh so I have decided to make it a 3 star film. This film was made in 2000 but the set design, film quality was of the '70s. That I believe is a success. Lee really made the whole thing look like it was made in the '70s. You want to hate this film but at the same time it gives you the inner guilty pleasure and fun. "Let's get on with the conversions!"

I love this movie. It's probably the most fucked up thing ever released. I mean, there's a stop-motion kick, God talks through an ice-cream and even El Santo appears!!! A must-see for those who find this kind of cheap parodic crap funny.
