Trapped by the Mormons
2005
| Jeff Goode Entertainment | Release Date: December 15, 2005 |
Summary:
A hauntingly hip and hilarious remake of the 1922 cult horror classic, Trapped by the Mormons. (Cherry Red Productions)
Director Ian Allen (a longtime playwright and stage director) has lovingly re-created the look and indeed narrative style of silent film -- and he's from Salt Lake City, so if he says Mormons are vampires with hypnotic powers, who am I to argue? I suppose this is a one-note joke, more in the style of '70s avant-garde camp than anything else. But, hey, at least it's a funny joke.

The review from Salon says it best, I think -- it's a one-joke film, but it's a pretty darn funny joke.

A bit slow moving and obvious, but the make-up efffects, set pieces, and stylized acting will at least hold your interest for a bit. A "zero" rating from other posters is just harsh and a touch ignorant.

At least for me, the part where the undead Joseph Smith and a blood-sucking Steve Young showed up with a hord of brain-washed poligamist wives to combat same-sex marriages and alcoholism seemed a bit forced.
