God Told Me To, d. Larry Cohen (1976)
Without wishing to give too much away about the mesmerising God Told Me To, here are five images of Richard Lynch as a glowing, golden haired hermaphroditic hippy will-o’-the-wisp star child who lives in a squalid underground furnace room and uses mind control to direct a cabal of fanatical followers.
Filmed in the old, scuzzy, dangerous New York - often without permission - Cohen's movie starts out as a tense thriller. as a wave of bizarre murders sweeps the city, each one committed by a seemingly normal member of the public who suddenly feels compelled to kill everyone around them. Their explanation to the authorities afterwards? 'God Told Me To'.
The second half of the film goes nuts, and so do all of the characters.
