Electric Jesus

About This Movie

Electric Jesus is a quirky dive into the summer of '86, where an Alabama preacher’s daughter, fueled by rebellion and curiosity, escapes with a hair metal band. The film has this unique blend of comedy and music that captures the essence of that era’s underground scene. The pacing feels just right, balancing the ridiculousness of the band’s antics with some genuine moments of reflection. The practical effects are charmingly low-budget, which adds to the authenticity. Performances are earnest, especially the interactions between characters that bring out the naivety of youth and a longing for something more. It's a nostalgic nod to a specific time and culture that feels both dated and refreshingly honest.

Great for fans of 80s music culture.Explores themes of rebellion and faith.Unique blend of comedy and nostalgia.
