Jesus, the Daughter of God

Name: Jesus, the Daughter of God
Genre: Comedy, Horror
Released: 2013
Cast: Scarlett Storm, Lauren Steinmeyer, Bill Zebub

A Go Go dancer quantum-leaps into Jesus's body and decides the best response to divine mystery is anarchic fun. This is a low-budget horror-comedy that treats biblical irreverence as permission to break every rule at once. It's determinedly strange, badly funded, and aimed at people who find shock value funnier than polish.

Should you watch it?

Watch it if you enjoy blasphemous comedy that treats scripture as a playground, the sillier and ruder the better, with horror seasoning you may not expect.

Skip it if this is a loosely structured riff on one idea, so if you need tight plotting or reverent handling of the gospels, you should look elsewhere.

What it asks of you: Its running time is brief, at about an hour and a half, and it moves in loose, restless bursts rather than building steadily, so attention can wander between gags.

If you liked this

Life of Brian1979

The foundational text of irreverent biblical comedy. Clever, genuinely funny, and proved you could mock religion without being hateful. Surreal logic wrapped around sharp social observation.

But It's nearly 50 years old and the satire can feel dated if you don't have the historical context. Also genuinely offensive to some.

Dogma1999

Kevin Smith's ambitious comedy about angels, demons, and God's silence. Wild tonal swings between lowbrow jokes and genuinely profound theological questions. Starred Jay and Silent Bob.

But The pacing drags in the second half and the religious philosophy overshadows the comedy. Some of the jokes land harder than others.

The Greasy Strangler2016

A father-son body-horror comedy that commits fully to being deliberately weird and off-putting. Transgressive, crude, utterly committed to its own logic. If you want something that doesn't care what you think.

But It's aggressively unpleasant and sexual in ways that feel designed to alienate. The plot barely exists. Some people find it unwatchable rather than funny.

The wildcard

Something you would not have found on your own.

Santa Sangre1989

Both treat the sacred and profane as equally valid frameworks for storytelling. Both use body horror and divine/demonic imagery without asking permission from conventional taste.

Jodorowsky's surrealist masterpiece about a boy and his armless mother. Visual poetry, genuine horror, profound emotional core wrapped in nightmare logic. The anti-narrative that somehow matters deeply.

But Surrealist and non-linear in ways that can feel impenetrable. There are images that stay with you in uncomfortable ways. Requires patience with abstraction.

Evil Dead II1987

Sam Raimi's wild tonal mix of horror and slapstick comedy. Bruce Campbell getting destroyed for ninety minutes in increasingly creative ways. Pure filmmaking energy that doesn't worry about tone consistency.

But The horror bits genuinely unsettling if you're watching for laughs. Some of the gore is gratuitous even by its own standards.

What We Do in the Shadows2014

Mockumentary about vampire roommates in New Zealand. Deadpan funny, character-driven, silly without ever winking at the audience. Proof that low-budget horror-comedy can have real heart.

But The humor is understated and sometimes gets lost. If you want big laughs, this whispers instead of shouting.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil2010

Inverts horror movie tropes by making the hillbillies the victims and the college kids the monsters. Genuinely clever premise that builds to real emotional investment in characters horror usually throws away.

But Relies on audiences knowing horror conventions well enough to get the joke. The third act softens into conventional plot.

Rubber2010

A sentient tire goes on a killing spree while an audience watches from the desert. Pure conceptual absurdism that never breaks character or explains itself. Committed to its own insanity.

But There is essentially no plot and the concept wears thin. If you need narrative logic or character development, this will frustrate you.

Attack of the Killer Donuts2016

Exactly what the title promises: killer pastries on the loose. Knows it's stupid and plays it straight. The kind of thing midnight movie audiences love.

But It's trash with confidence but still trash. The acting is stiff, the jokes don't always land, and there's only so much a premise can do.

The VelociPastor2018

A priest who turns into a dinosaur fights crime. It exists. It knows what it is. Pure cult cinema energy on a shoestring budget.

But The dinosaur effects are famously terrible in ways that aren't always funny. You're mostly watching to say you saw it, not for entertainment value.

Satantango1994

Both films stage encounters with false or absurd salvation narratives. Both use bodies and spectacle to explore what happens when meaning collapses. Tarr operates in cosmic dread; this film operates in anarchic comedy—opposite registers, same metaphysical territory.

Béla Tarr's seven-and-a-half-hour black-and-white odyssey through alienation and false salvation. Hypnotic, glacially paced, philosophically devastating. Cinema that rewires how you perceive time and meaning.

But It is extremely long and almost nothing happens in plot terms. Watchable only if you surrender to its rhythm completely. Most people will find it punishing.
