Just another misguided vanity project...
MrGKB24 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
...from people who likely don't know any better, and even more likely don't care one way or the other, "Dear God No!" can't help but live up to its name in any discerning viewer's mind. Ostensibly an homage to 70s grindhouse features, this bit of pitiable excess fails to show any genuine respect for the genre or for filmmaking in general. Wooden non- actors swell the cast while reciting lines that might impress middle- schoolers with IQs in the room temperature range. The camera-work is---to be kind---in focus (well, usually), and the rest of the production values aren't much better. Costuming (and the lack thereof for most of the females) is probably the film's only strong point.

Needless to say, the script is abysmal, direction is non-existent, and did I already mention that the actors can't express themselves out of a paper bag? The corpse of Ted Sturgeon is shaking its head in despair. This one's a time-waster only, kiddies; not even the rampant nudity can recommend it. You've been warned.

Don't be fooled by the great cover
MaxJenky14 April 2013
Well what can I say about this one. Being a huge fan of 70's and 80's slasher, exploitation and grind-house cinema I was quite excited when I saw the cover of this DVD at my local DVD store and had to buy it.

I went home that night with high hopes expecting something along the lines of Fathers day or Hobo with a shotgun - was I disappointed or what! While this film had a few slightly funny moments, especially a scene at the end where I had to laugh out loud, I cant say that there was too much else that I enjoyed about this film.

While I appreciate the shoestring budget that they probably had when making this film and I know that I could not do any better, I still found the acting far too cheesy. I know they were trying to get the feel of old exploitation films, however the acting just came across as a high school film studies class project.

This film could have had a lot of potential, however the cheesy acting, the effects and the over use of nude scenes for no reason let it down.

If you take out the nude scenes from this movie ( that added nothing to the plot or film) the film would only be 75% as long. Having a topless stripper dance on screen is great, however to have one dancing in a movie for 5 minutes straight was 4 minutes too long and seemed to me as a way to make the movie more appealing to someone who thinks that boobs in a film make a great film.

I know the things that I did not like about this film are exactly what fans of this type of cinema including myself normally like and are after in a film, however it just did not work for me.

I'll at least give it one thing, I watched it to the end, which is more than I can say for a few troma films that I have bought in the past.

I blame Tarantino.
BA_Harrison13 April 2013
It was fun for a while, but now I'm getting rather tired of the fad for 'grindhouse' movies, which see directors deliberately striving to replicate the flagrant content and gritty style of 70s and 80s exploitation films. They may boast memorable titles and cool retro poster art, but they rarely prove to be any cop, their grungy affectations and knowing outrageousness being poor substitutes for real talent.

The latest effort to proudly fly the 'grindhouse' flag is 'Dear God No!', a violent biker flick from writer/director James Bickert, who is so intent on achieving his desired aesthetic and meeting his quota of bad taste and debauchery (thereby ensuring marketability) that he seems to forget about trying to make a decent film.

The most disagreeable aspects of the film are not the sex and violence—after all, those who willingly watch this type of film expect, nay DEMAND such excess—but rather the acting, script and direction. Performances range from the bad to the diabolical, the plot is all over the place, and Bickert's visuals display little in the way of originality (unless lingering on a stripper for so long that it actually becomes boring counts).

My rating: a generous 4.5 out of 10 just for the OTT splatter and rampant sleaze—file somewhere between equally disappointing 'grindhouse' efforts 'Run! Bitch Run! and Nude Nuns With Big Guns.

Don't waste your time with this crap.
joedante4 September 2016
Ultra cheap, ultra stupid, the worst bunch of "actors" you've ever seen. This disaster of a movie isn't even mildly entertaining. Even the few gore effects are lame and the topless girls are ugly. The fact that the film was made to look like a 70s biker flick gets boring very fast. Don't waste 2 hours of your life... I mean, 1 hour and 10 minutes of your life with this garbage on celluloid. Anyway, the worst thing is the "creature" at the end of the movie. It is clearly a guy in a very very cheap costume and so laughable it will make you cringe. Sadly, this is not a movie "so bad it's good". It is just awfully bad. Go watch something else!

On the nose sleaze picture
adamscastlevania24 May 2015
(25%) A movie that on the one hand is a fair and honest homage to bad biker movies with their dire story telling, terrible writing, and woeful production values that in a parameter of sleazy trash cinema works as an actual throw-back, but on the other hand you cannot help but think that Quentin Tarrantino has a fair amount to answer for. It's clear this in its own way wants to be a bad film taken from within the boundaries of a low budget sleaze picture from the early to mid 70's, but is that achievement in itself worthy of actual merit? I'm not entirely sure. There are times when this does feel like the genuine article, but again is that worthy of merit? I'm somewhat split on this one. Yes, this is a really bad movie, and yes that was the whole point, but that doesn't mean this is 100% not worth a look for the cult fans out there. For those with zero interest in the old, hugely flawed films need not apply.

Repulsive
Leofwine_draca30 March 2015
DEAR GOD NO! is a straight-out homage to the grindhouse flicks of the 1970s; in particular it seems to be a cross between THE EVIL DEAD and a random biker movie. Instead of being a real film, this is an ultra low budget production packed to the brim with outrageously cheesy gore effects, depraved humour, and female nudity.

I found it repulsive in the extreme, but not for the reasons you'd think. The exploitation elements are all well and good, but it's the script that truly repulsed me. It's dumb beyond belief, full of repetitive cursing and nothing else. The characters are portrayed as the stupidest people imaginable, and despite the presence of a large gang of bikers there are no individuals here - they're all a bland, faceless group.

The plot is non-existent and only serves to link the various exploitation sequences. The degradation of women plays a pivotal role, with the female roles limited to monsters, strippers, or victims. Sleaziness hangs over the whole production, and as a whole this is the type of film that nobody in their right mind could enjoy. Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR is still my favourite of the grindhouse tributes in existence and in comparison this is nothing, it wasn't even worth making a film.

Dear God BOOBS!
bigbadlogan3 November 2011
Not sure where this came from but I like it. This beyond awesome and heavy on the upper female nudity flick is pretty far out crazy. It's a biker film made by perverts for perverts. You will definitely feel like a dirty person while laughing at the demented dark humor. It's very funny in a "not quite right" sort of way. Outlaw bikers run up against an insane Nazi conducting mad experiments on his family members and the local wildlife. When these worlds (different genres) collide it gets totally wacky (the horror genre!) and delivers buckets of the marinara sauce. It's staggering how much is packed into this film from Psychedelic Drug movies, Nazisploitation, Nunsploitation, Biker, Spaghetti Western, Monster Movies, Home Invasion flicks (Last House on the Left), Nature Gone Bad Films, Hicksploitation, etc. Even more staggering, it actually works. For such an outrageously convoluted film, it all comes together without any loose ends. The plot twists are different from your standard Revenge film, get crazier every 15 minutes and you never quite know where this thing is going until the very last frame which will hit you like a Drano enema. It's not a comedy. It's full of scares, shocks and seat clawing tension. Did I mention the female parts? Loaded with every size. Every actress looses their clothes. Quite wonderful. I'm not sure when this thing is being released on DVD but I saw it with an audience and you should too. It screams audience participation. It was so nice to see something other than stupid teens in the stupid woods. I thank the perverts who made this and made my day. See it.

If beating up and killing innocent women is your thing...this is for you
zanty13 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
All I can say is, this movie from the opening scenes is awful. The acting is bad, and, the director/writer seems to get off on the idea of murdering/exploiting women in this movie. Like, for example, the first scene, where the bikers wake up after an orgy of killing and raping the night before. One Biker is repeatedly kicking a dead woman's genitals, whilst the other one takes fun 'mashing up' the body of another with his motorbike. I am a fan of subversive and different movies, and, am into the 'house of 1000 corpses' style of film, but i'm sorry, this film is nowhere near that. It seems the Director wanted to get the Tarantino 'grindhouse' feel but the film doesn't come anywhere near it, and, at the end of the day, people are responsible for the images they portray and the films they produce. You don't need to show mindless murder and rape in abundance to portray 'bad-ass' characters, unless you're getting off on it, or you forget what the movie is about. I think that's the case here, as, in my opinion, this is a truly awful movie.

If only they had some talent to back up this potential awesomeness
Sorpse20 August 2012
I'm sure if you sat down with a group of buddies who all have bad taste and like nasty things then you would definitely laugh out loud at this movie and come away with some good one liners but any one with any taste would think your facked up for even knowing this movie exists. This week must be the week of sh!+ movies cuz heres another stinker. This movie has huge potential is out weighed by the garbage cinematography, garbage acting, and the worst practical effects I've ever seen. I understand that they made this movie crappy on purpose but that just seems to be an excuse for having no talent. Everyone involved in this movie has no talent and this movie wreaks of it. Anytime something bloody happens you can clearly see a hose spraying blood or someone grabs their neck and blood sprays from behind their back. They pretend to do a burnout on a nun and it just looks stupid because they cant even act like they are doing in it. It looks like a bunch of buddies got together and made a movie they thought would be funny and then decided hey maybe other people would like this. Even when they are drinking something we are suppose to think is a dirty tampon it doesn't even gross me out because they cant even act like they are drinking tampon juice. One area that this movie does succeed on however is the dialogue. There are plenty of hilarious one liners, they are just coming out of the wrong people who cant do them justice, tiss a shame. Also the ideas they had for how to push the limits of sleaze are great in theory but don't have the skill to pull them off effectively. I personally love the movies that this movie tries to be but it fails and the only scene that is effective is the rapist orgy where i got so sick of the screaming women that i turned this garbage off. Lets put a little more effort in next time boys and maybe hire some people with talent.

very twisted
higgins-216-83336018 November 2011
As a self proclaimed expert on biker movies (I've seen them all), this one is totally out to lunch. It's a bad egg oddity that would have to be put into a category all by itself. Caged up and left alone. What makes it different? It's evil. Everything about it is ugly and mean spirited. These bikers are not people you can identify with but they are not really the villains either. These goons are light years away from the cheesy pretty boy or grease monkey depictions you see on Sons of Anarchy or Hell Ride. They're even different than the glorified image of real bikers in The Wild Angels and Hell's Angels on Wheels. They are probably close to the real thing circa The Hell's Angels 1965 than has ever graced the silver screen. These are murdering, raping, filthy mouthed scum of the earth. They party hardy. The film feels like it was made by real life criminals. I would not like to meet them.

absolutely awful
ShaneDoyle4 April 2012
this has to be the worst film i have ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes on. should you watch it? the title says it all.... I am a big Fan of the grind house genre but this was just BAD. Bad acting, bad script, bad film.. enough said. i really cant see why its getting so many good reviews, it's just terrible. and before every one starts giving out to me, i know every one is entitled to their opinion and this is just my opinion, but i just couldn't see any good in it. my friend(who loves this genre more than me) and i sat down to watch it and neither of us could believe what we were watching, especially the last scene, any one who has seen it will know what I'm talking about, i felt cheated because the trailer made it look really good. i would feel bad if i recommended this tripe to anyone. i consider this to be an honest review, please don't have it removed again, whats wrong with having your own opinion, i paid to see this film, i didn't like it, no spoilers, just pure honesty.

Not your typical Grindhouse Homage
stitchz-110 September 2011
This is not a glossy, over-stylized grindhouse homage like "Hobo With A Shotgun", "Machete", or "Planet Terror". This is the closest thing to an actual Grindhouse film made in this century... Though perhaps it is a little more extreme.

It is shot on 16mm film, there are 31 breasts, all of the effects are practical (i.e. no CGI), and it is fun as hell.

This flick definitely isn't for everybody (there is some extreme stuff in here), but for fans of authentic grindhouse features, bigfoot, bikers, sexploitation, gore, and drug movies; "Dear God No!" is the way to go.

A lot to like, but the gore factor gets a little silly
jbar1928 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Obviously, someone on this development team has seen "Dead Alive", the fantastic, over-the-top gorefest from early in Peter Jackson's career. There are several allusions that made me smile.

Without giving too much away, everyone like Tabasco sauce but no one wants a bowl of it. And that is the problem.

The bad guys really didn't suffer enough either. The movie spends 85% of the time showing us how extremely evil these biker are. The bikers even kill a victim a la The Manson Family so by the end of the movie we are all screaming for their blood. Then, the entire cast is killed off by a mutated monster. The end. Unsatisfying.

Also, is it me or did the monster look exactly like Bigfoot from 'The 6 Million Dollar Man'?

I did like this movie. It was a great homage. It's campy and over the top. Even though it aims to be a little tongue-in-cheek copy of 70s Grindhouse, with a little tuning this movie could have actually been a better film.

I enjoyed it. But I only recommended it for Gorehounds and crazy film people. Girls will ABHOR this movie so be warned.

I hear you asking, why did I rate this so highly?
clauzy8226 October 2022
First of all, I am a huge fan of B-movies, schlock, grindhouse, bad but good, anything with cheese etc. This just lacks character or a spark, the film is one step up from a camcorder film shown in a talent show at a community centre, there is little to no effort put in, the acting is bad, but it's "I don't give a s**t" bad, not "I'm trying as hard as I can, but I just can't act" bad.

Now why did I give it 4 stars, well 3.5 but IMDB don't allow decimal points. Well firstly, it is definitely not the worst film ever made by a long shot, some parts are entertaining with some funny gore/action sequences. A few of the actors put in the effort. Plus, the cover is worth a whole star. A highlight real of the action sequences would have been better, or if it was made as a short film instead, it's too long and starts to grind on you pretty quick. They didn't even have the interest to keep it going for the full 80 mins themselves, how can they expect you to be involved for the set time.

If you're looking for that b-movie gem, stay well away, if you like bad but still bad then it's all yours.

3.5/10.

Micro budget terrible
Floated25 December 2022
The great cover art and title is possibly what attracted most people. The plot description sounds bland and generic but sounds like it could have been halfway decent.

Everything about the film is quite poor. It's micro sized budget, its acting is terrible and the plot is ridiculous and silly. The camera work and settings look really cheap.

The biker characters are clearly sleazy but it's the acting from them which make this film sink.

The over the top graphic gore special effects ware off quickly. The film does contain several scenes of nudity, most of which are slightly unnecessary (including a 4+ minute stripper dancing scene). The director added those scenes in to distract us from the fact that the film isn't good.

Sleazetastic
BandSAboutMovies10 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
So if you were ever saying to yourself, "I wish someone would make a socially unredeeming biker movie that brings back the old bikersploitation movies of the past but has no morals whatsoever," you're in luck. I've found a movie for you.

The Impalers were on a rape and murder spree when they barely escaped a battle with a rival biker club called Satan's Own. As they run to a cabin deep in the wilds of North Georgia, their home invasion turns wrong when it turns out that the scientist whose home they've taken over has plenty of deep, dark secrets hidden in his basement and an even bigger one stalking the woods outside.

Director James Bickert has thrown everything into the kitchen sink for this, with Nazis, zombies, rampant nudity and tons of gore in nearly every frame. It's not perfect, mind you - the performances are what you expect for a low budget film and the biker on civilian violence is beyond brutal, but for those that love absolute junk - and I say that as a compliment to this film - you need to get this movie between your legs.

It was followed up by the even more insane - I didn't think it was possible - Frankenstein Created Bikers, which I found to be an even better movie than this one.

Easy rider meets bigfoot
billcr1218 March 2012
It is what is, and Dear God No isn't Sunday morning sermonette. The opening few minutes are filled with bloody carnage at the hands of some very nasty looking bikers in leather jackets riding Harleys. Murder and mayhem are practiced quite efficiently by the easy riders.

Switch to a house in the woods occupied by a science professor and his teenage daughter who carries a carcass to a padlocked basement. We then visit a strip bar with unattractive dancers; one even wearing a Richard Nixon mask. Miss Nixon is very handy with a Thompson submachine gun. The gang enjoy a short and unpleasant stay at the club.

Meanwhile, the prof is researching some sort of creature living nearby and two of his college students stop by for a friendly visit. Uh oh, can you say home invasion; here come the hell's angels and it's party time for Mr. science and his offspring. It turns Charles Manson for a while, and beware of a reenactment of an urban legend based on Sharon Tate's killing in 1969; the infamous Helter Skelter case.

Now for a special appearance by Bigfoot in a pay back mode for all the bad deeds by the iron horse invaders. Dear God No is a low budget, badly acted and yet funny and entertaining, bloody good time.

Pure Gold
info-323-99588521 March 2012
You might get it. You might not. I'm not surprised this has low and divided ratings. You see, there are those hipsters who think they know grindhouse based on the more popular films available on DVD and then there are the rest of us bad cinema junkies who collect VHS and live for The Swinging Barmaids, Rape Squad, Ghetto Freaks and The Tomcats. If you fall in this category of trash lover,than this film is pure gold. It nails it. Bad acting, ridiculous dialog, convoluted plot, jump cuts, psychedelia, monster suits, blatant nudity, etc. Shot on beautiful film and full of head scratching moments. The closest I've run across to real 70s 42nd street crap. Very entertaining and not a dull moment.

Ultimate Exploitation! In your face indie cinema!
shogun-215-70587517 November 2011
WOW! Yes. This is insane brutal in your face no holds barred beat down the neighbours adrenaline fuelled pure indie cinema at it's most glorious bad to the bone rocking' the free world best. Catch it on the indie circuit cause when some obnoxious Hollywood distributor gets this thing they are gonna cut the meat to the bone and water it down like every other bad idea they puke up. Sick of stupid remakes of crappy movies? Well here you go. It's what you asked for and what you really want but you probably can't even handle it. Extreme! This sick piece of mess gives me hope that original ideas can and will be made. A total wake up call to the phonies shovelling their swill at us every weekend while they wait for box office grosses.

pure old school exploitation with all the ingredients
trashgang18 March 2013
This is a difficult flick to review because this is a perfect ode to the old exploitation flicks, it's full of bikers, creatures and a lot of gratuitous nudity but on the other hand some people will think that they will see the next big thing are wrong. This isn't going to be another Machete (2010) or Hobo With A Shotgun (2011). This isn't a major production. There aren't big names or real actors in it. And that's maybe why some will hate it but if you do love old exploitations then you are in for a ride.

The clothes and music is indeed like it was made in the sixties or seventies. And yes, you have to wait until the end before the gore comes in. There's a lot of talking going on in the beginning. And as for the nudity. There's a strip of one of the girls, there's a show at some kind of strip joint. Oh yes, boys will surely love this for that reason only.

The use of camera's and the editing was rather okay for such low budget flicks. But the story will for some be a not done. We even go back to some Nazi experiments and we do have a bigfoot running around.

A big cheer for the nude girls. They all look like normal girls, no fake tits and no perfect bodies. Nice flick, and I must admit with good promotion going on. I was lucky to catch an exclusive release of only 25 copies on Blu Ray.

Old school exploitation lovers will adore it. The blockbuster buffs better stay away.You don't watch this for the acting, get it...

We need more like this.
MovieFreak74111 April 2012
Caught this fine biker mash up at Cinema Wasteland where it brought a party to a packed screening room. Before my eyes it turned a bunch of sour faces into happy go lucky drunks. It was complete and total insanity. Anarchy at it finest. A kick in the groin to big budget films this one unleashes unholy fun in the purest sense. It was a rowdy experience that gave the audience the most authentic time travel I've ever seen. The cast and crew were on hand to shake things up with sleazy skits and old fashioned hype. The biggest surprise was how nice and approachable these guys were. For being such dirt bags in the movie, they hung out all night talking film, making jokes and giving me free beer! The lead actor Jet even sang Meatloaf through a megaphone! Good voice too! They are total rock n roll, beer and film nerds and deserve all the praise they are getting. I can't remember having such a good time. It was the talk of the weekend and didn't disappoint.

10/10 for sheer entertainment
boykinb14 March 2012
Over the past few years, and largely thanks to Tarantino/Rodriguez, there has been a welcome revival in Grindhouse. Movies like Planet Terror, Death Proof and Machete have reminded us just how much fun it was to recoil in horror and laugh out loud all in the same scene. Movie trends vary. We are coming to the end of the reign of the zombie flick but during its tenure we were treated to such gems as Zack Snyder's 'Dawn of the Dead', The Ford Brothers 'The Dead' and, to a lesser degree, the hugely successful Ruben Fleischer 'Zombieland'. With the revival of Grindhouse we are, once again, trawling the net for the next talking point of modern cinema. Well, look no further folks. 'Dear God No!' is 21st century Grindhouse at its most shocking and its insanely fun. James Bickert has managed, on no-doubt a very limited budget, to create a movie that is 'The Devils Rejects meets Doctor Moreau' with an originality that is stunning in itself. It is a movie that will stay with me and that is the hallmark of a fine film maker. It was a film that I expected to hate but, as the final credits rolled, I was struggling to pick out a moment that didn't work perfectly. The movie is over the top so far that I'd expect to find mist on the DVD cover. The central cast push their characters to the the limits of debauchery and there are moments in the movie where I almost felt guilty enjoying but this mix of Grindhouse and Powerhouse simply wont let you rest. A huge achievement and I trust that this gem of a film will have CULT stamped all over it when it hits the shelves. See it once, talk about it many many times. Congratulations to all involved.

Re-invents grindhouse films.
jackal-215-80637017 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Surprisingly, I have read nothing but good reviews on DEAR GOD NO! While they tend to be enthusiastic about the 1970 style, gore, nudity and surrealism, the reviewers are missing what makes this film work. It has a deep understanding of classic film elements and how they all work together to make a cohesive and satisfying viewing experience. The underlying theme of this film at first appears ambiguous but on closer inspection some serious ideas lie deep under the surface. DEAR GOD NO! involves a generational struggle sparked by nurture vs. nature issues. It's reflected in almost every line of dialog. The characters and their motivations are based on the adverse effects of childhood nurturing. Bigfoot seems to represent the only element of nature. It's very well thought out and reflected in almost every frame. Someone should write a thesis on this film.

It's a huge leap to take for low budget horror and exploitation to incorporate these ideas into what would normally be a gross out sex filled party film. Dear God No! does an excellent job at keeping the right balance. This is precisely why it works and helps rise it above most genre film being made today. The motivations here may have been to encourage repeat viewings or maybe writer / director James Bickert is exploring his own personal demons. Either way, he unknowingly created the first Grindhouse art film and maybe even the first fun art film.

Once you are aware of the underlying themes, it's astonishing how much more offensive and unsettling it becomes. DEAR GOD NO! constantly rips on every element of film. Even what might appear to the average person as strange edits are riffs on French New Wave cinema. I've seen it twice and really need to see it many more times. There is so much to pull out of it and absorb. It's unique and well worth seeking out.

a midnight movie has risen from the ashes
astrozombie-217-42478819 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This totally offencive piece of road rash is the best time I've ever had at the movies. Period. From the reaction of everyone in the theatre, I wasn't the only one. People went so squirrel crazy (you know how crazy they can be) I missed a large portion of the actors lines! Sneaking in alcohol is a must. It just goes perfect with this movie. We sent a buddy across the street to purchase some liquor and sneak it back in. We owe in one because he missed about 10 cool things in the 15 minutes he was gone. From the opening frame you are taken on the most bizarre action packed white trash adventure ever. This flick never let's up. The level of offensiveness keeps building until you just have to burst out into applause. I swear DEAR GOD NO! must of been made for drunken hobos. Bikers, drugs, booze, gore, incest, mad science, cop killing, child killing, baby killing, decapitations, Nazis,nuns, murder, mayhem, Richard Nixon, explosions, machine guns, monsters, taxidermy, acid and a nuclear explosion! The music by the 45s is frigging' incredible! Sometimes creepy, sometimes western, but most of the time old school rock! At the end of the time it goes into this crazy hippie Joan Baez type song called DEAR GOD NO! and then abruptly cuts into a cover of MC5 that totally rocked the house! The bikers are great, the nudity abundant and The Mad Doctor is brilliant! You will never look at another person named Todd the same way again. This I promise you. The last violent scene in the film involving the most annoyingly pathetic character had the entire crowd out of their seats cheering. It seems unfair to even call this a movie. It's a party.

Fun grindhouse experience
rRiverrMan13 September 2011
This is the most authentic exploitation movie to come out since the 70's. This movie does not hold back with great over the top grindhouse gore and nudity, which is something always toned down in other modern day exploitation movies. This is the real deal!

If you like Death Proof or Planet Terror you will without a doubt enjoy this.

If you enjoy any exploitation movies from the 70's and wish the modern day knock offs were as much fun and pushed further, you should really see this.

You can tell the cast enjoyed making this movie and deeply enjoy exploitation movies as it emanates from the screen and slaps you in the face!
