Review of Dear God No! (2011) by Gimly M — 24 Jul 2016
The first act is absolutely horribly edited, some of the worst professional work I've ever seen in that aspect. And it doesn't pick up massively afterwards.
I'm glad Gridhouse Revival is a thing, but Dear God No! is not a great example of it. For the most part they embrace the deliberately terrible qualities and play the exploitation almost entirely for laughs (seriously there is a ten minute sequence with a trio of Nixon strippers) but there is a scene in the middle of pretty traumatising sexual violence, which is so drastically juxtaposed to the light-hearted attitude of the style that came before it and after that it's actually really uncomfortable. Not in an "Oh what a great movie, it made me feel something way." More of an "Ew I'm really not sure what inspired this choice stylistically, should I turn this off now?" way.
But there's some humour, some bad gore and some Supernatural-Nazi jazz going on in there too, so if that's your sort of thing then I guess you could do worse than Dear God No!
...If you tried really hard.
