If you are aching for an over-the-top action-horror film in the same vein as Kung Fury and WolfCop, you are in luck this year with Wild Eye Releasing’s The VelociPastor. “A man of the cloth turns Jurassic” in this tale of a fight against evil…and ninjas.
After a devastating family tragedy, a priest (Gregory James Cohan) travels to China to find deeper spirituality, but instead is endowed with an ancient ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. At first, he is horrified by his newfound superpower, but a local prostitute convinces him to use his newfound gift to fight evil – and ninjas.
The VelociPastor first trailer shows pastor Doug Jones embracing all his raptor glory, punishing those who are guilty of wrongdoing. Even in his own church confessional. The film was written and directed by Brendan Steere (A Cat in the Forest) and stars Gregory James Cohan, Alyssa Kempinski, Daniel Steere, Yang Jiechang, Jesse Turits, Fernando Pacheco de Castro, and Aurelio Voltaire.
