Jesus Saves

About This Movie

So, 'Jesus Saves' is this really intriguing piece from '88 that dives into some heavy themes surrounding Catholic guilt and the human condition, all set against the backdrop of a butcher shop. The film plays with ambiguity—like, you’re not entirely sure if you’re watching a butcher confessing sins or something more surreal. The visuals are layered, with some striking practical effects that might catch you off guard. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it adds to the unsettling atmosphere. It’s a bizarre exploration of flesh and faith, and there’s definitely something unsettling yet fascinating about that dynamic.

This film has seen limited format releases, which makes it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Its strange blend of horror and religious commentary attracts a niche audience, and it might not be the first film you think of when discussing 80s indie cinema, but its thematic depth and unique atmosphere definitely make it a topic of conversation among collectors. Keep an eye out for any VHS copies, as they tend to be the most sought after.
