Well, well, well ... it isn't every day of the week that I get to wake up realizing that there's yet one more genre film out there that I'd never even heard of, peeps, so let's thank your lucky stars I got up today and decided to blog ...
The word on the street is that the folks at Blue Underground are delivering an Ultra HD 4K restoration to Larry Cohen mid-1970's SciFi/Horror God Told Me To this July 19th to interest parties in the consumer marketplace. Given that it's Cohen, I am a bit surprised I hadn't heard about this one -- I've covered a good handful of his properties within SciFiHistory.Net's corresponding citation pages -- and I've reached out to the good people at Blue to see if I might be able to get my hands on a copy for review purposes. Keep your eyes peeled on this space, and I'll bring you up to speed should I get to screen this one as it looks mighty, mighty interesting.
I'll be doing the usual copying and pasting of the information I've received via the company's press release below. I'll also post the Amazon.com link right here if you're interested in zipping over that way and setting the package into your pre-order status.
As always, thanks for reading ... and you know the rest ...

Blue Underground Releases Cult Classic
God Told Me To
[4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray]
Street Date 7/19
A rooftop sniper guns down 14 pedestrians on the streets of New York City. A mild-mannered dad takes a shotgun and blows away his wife and children. A cop goes on a sudden shooting spree at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. And each of these unlikely killers makes the same dying confession: “God told me to.” Now a repressed Catholic NYPD detective (Tony Lo Bianco of THE HONEYMOON KILLERS and THE FRENCH CONNECTION) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith, alien insemination and his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan for the soul of mankind.
