In Larry Cohen’s idiosyncratic 1976 sci-fi-infused crime horror-thriller God Told Me To, a rooftop sniper guns down 14 pedestrians on the streets of New York City. A mild-mannered dad takes a shotgun and blows away his wife and children. A cop goes on a sudden shooting spree at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. And each of these unlikely killers makes the same dying confession: “God told me to.” Now a repressed Catholic NYPD detective (Tony Lo Bianco of The Honeymoon Killers) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith, alien insemination and his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan for the soul of mankind.

Written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen, this critically acclaimed cult classic remains one of the most disturbing and thought-provoking horror films of our time. Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis, Sylvia Sidney, Mike Kellin, Richard Lynch and Andy Kaufman co-star in God Told Me To, now presented in a new 4K restoration from the original uncensored negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio,
