A somewhat unusual Jesus film can recently be viewed on the Amazon Prime streaming service. In “Fist of Jesus” Jesus brings Lazarus back to life and thus triggers a zombie catastrophe. There is a lot of blood flowing.

“Splatter films” aim to splash as much blood as possible in the most fun way possible. The genre doesn’t stop at any taboo. In 2012, the Spaniards Adrián Cardona and David Muñoz focused on Jesus. A lot of blood flows in her short film “Fist of Jesus”.

It actually starts like a normal Jesus movie. Jesus of Nazareth gives the Sermon on the Mount and blesses the people. But then the faith healer is asked to come to Lazarus, who recently died. Jesus works a miracle and brings Lazarus back to life. So far, according to the Bible. But then something unexpected happens: Lazarus, who has just been resurrected, jumps at his fellow men like a wild animal and bites them. As in a classic zombie film, the bitten now run through the landscape as zombies. Everyone screams in panic, including Jesus.

Anyone who explores the range of films on Amazon’s streaming service and comes across this film title should not be mistaken: Instead of an edifying Jesus film, “Fist of Jesus” is a bloody comedy. “Braindead meets Life of Brain”, it says in the shipment information from Amazon. The film has already achieved a certain cult status since its release; there are t-shirts, fridge magnets, stickers, and even plastic action figures.
