This dumb movie has a surprisingly sly sophistication...

Flickering Myth

Even with the over the top silliness it’s clearly embracing and relishing in, it’s not quite able to be convincing enough as a spoof comedy of a B movie.

Rated: 1/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

[The Velocipastor] offers constant humor and action that’s reminiscent of films from the 70s and 80s. It never takes itself seriously, which makes it easier to enjoy the film even more.

Rated: 7.5/10

...If you go into THE VELOCIPASTOR just excited by the title and a man with dino hands, I think you are going to have an amazing experience in low budget indie horror.

Spectrum Culture

Despite hammy acting, no-effort practical effects and a plot that feels like the sugar-fueled daydreams of a hyperactive eight-year-old, The VelociPastor finds redemption in how faithfully it embraces camp.

Nashville Scene

2019's The VelociPastor is 75 minutes long and features dinosaur effects from Party City's inflatable aisle, but it knows exactly how seriously to take the material (not very). Cohan is disarmingly charming, and the laughs and gore pop up regularly.

Harold C.

A knowingly absurd B-movie that embraces its own terribleness, this cult oddity delivers constant laughs through cheap effects, straight-faced performances, and wild editing choices. It’s not high art, but with the right group of friends it’s an absolute blast — the kind of bad movie that’s fun because it’s bad.

Just finished this cinematic masterpiece. Jurassic Park level special effects, Bruce Lee era Kung Fu fighting, theological battles and a romance for the ages. Wrap this all up with Oscar worthy acting and cinematography and you get a film to rival The Godfather and Citizen Kane. Now anxiously awaiting Velocipastor 2.
