The VelociPastor is a hilarious and absurd horror-comedy film that tells the story of an aspiring pastor named Doug Jones (played by Greg Cohan). Doug is a Catholic priest who is struggling to cope with the tragic death of his parents during his childhood. As a result, he decides to take a trip to China to gain clarity and find himself.

While he is there, Doug accidentally stumbles upon a mysterious ancient artifact that has the power to turn him into a dinosaur. As crazy as it sounds, he soon discovers that he can transform into a fearsome velociraptor whenever he feels threatened or angry.

Confused and disorientated, Doug embarks on a mission to use his newfound powers to cleanse the streets of evil, and ends up becoming a vigilante. He starts by taking down petty thieves and eventually moves on to more significant crimes like drug dealing and human trafficking.

However, things take a turn for the worse when he meets the villainous priest, Father Stewart (played by George Schewnzer). Father Stewart is a corrupt religious figure who is hell-bent on taking over the world and using it for his sinister purposes.

As Doug and Father Stewart clash, the stakes get higher, and the battle becomes more intense. The VelociPastor takes elements from classic kung-fu movies, horror films, and religious iconography to create a unique blend of humor, horror, and action.

The film is a riotous, tongue-in-cheek parody of various genres, and it does an excellent job of poking fun at the absurdities of these genres while also paying homage to them. The VelociPastor is filled with over-the-top special effects, ridiculous one-liners, and absurd action sequences that keep the audience engaged and entertained throughout.

In addition to Greg Cohan and George Schewnzer, The VelociPastor also stars Janice Young as Carol, a prostitute with a heart of gold who becomes Doug's love interest. Her character brings warmth and levity to the film, and her interactions with Doug provide some of the funniest and most endearing moments.

The film's director, Brendan Steere, does an excellent job of keeping the story moving forward while also maintaining a consistent tone. The pace is brisk, and the humor is never forced or contrived. The VelociPastor has achieved a cult following due to its clever balance of ironic humor and genuine entertainment value.

Overall, The VelociPastor is a hilariously absurd and entertaining film that has become a cult classic. It blends genres and defies expectations, providing a unique and memorable viewing experience. It's a movie that is best enjoyed with a group of friends, where you can laugh at the ridiculousness of it all while also enjoying the ride.

The VelociPastor is a 2018 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 15 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
