New York is plagued by motiveless murders - a sniper picks of random targets, a father murders his family, a cop opens fire on a parade. And when apprehended, each of the perpetrators simply says, "God told me to". Cop Tony Lo Bianco is assigned to the case and begins to suspect the involvement of Christ-like Richard Lynch. But it isn't until he interviews Lynch's mother that the full, horrifying truth emerges. Cult B-movie director Larry Cohen's film rises above the usual fare with thoughtful scenes where religion and the misinterpretation of God are calmly covered alongside others of tension and occult horror.
God Told Me To is a Film programme that first aired in 1976 and has been classified a 18 certificate.
