Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except

About This Movie

Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except is a gritty action-thriller that showcases the raw intensity of a Vietnam vet's struggle against a cult and its deranged followers. The film has this unapologetic, rough-around-the-edges charm that captures the essence of early '80s exploitation cinema. The pacing is brisk, with just enough downtime to let the characters breathe, but it quickly ramps up into a whirlwind of practical effects and over-the-top violence. The performances, while not always polished, have an earnestness that draws you in. It's got that distinctive vibe of a period where filmmakers pushed boundaries, mixing dark themes with a certain sense of humor. Overall, it’s a fascinating watch for those who appreciate the cult classics of that era.
