Kristy Puchko Pajiba This dumb movie has a surprisingly sly sophistication... Aug 15, 2019 Full Review Nicolas Soto 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 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Dev Shea Nightmarish Conjurings ...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. Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Josh Goller 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. May 6, 2022 Full Review Jason Shawhan 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. Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut A ludicrous monster movie which is way more entertaining than I expected, The Velocipastor really must be seen to be believed. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Ronin S This movie isn't the best but I really enjoyed watching it for how bad it is. The film is quite obviously not taking itself seriously which I respect. The campiness of the film makes it ten times better and is a fun watch with the family or a group of friends. In terms of plot and story, I believe its a pretty average story with basic conflicts but I think the movie really expresses in the plot aspect, by which I bet anyone watching the film for the first time, that they won't guess what will happen next. The film is so unpredictable which ultimately makes it so much better and fun to watch. The silly effects matches the atmosphere of the film and fits the chaotic nature of the film. I can only imagine how much fun this film was to make and it truly shows in the final product. [VFX: Car on fire]. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Nicholas C I was very confused before watching this film, I kept seeing the reviews giving this movie 5/5 stars on almost every platform and I knew it was either because it was actually great or jokingly giving it a 5/5. Only watching the film for a minute, I instantly got my answer and understood what type of film this is. I won’t lie, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this film nor was I craving for it to end, honestly I just didn’t really care about this. I can see why people would have a fun time watching this movie but none of the jokes really hit me. I don’t know, I just felt indifferent about it compared to other films I have seen in recent days. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Joshua H The VelociPastor is a wild, totally ridiculous movie, but that’s what makes it so much fun. The story about a priest who turns into a dinosaur and fights bad guys sounds crazy, and it is, but it never tries to be serious, which is refreshing. The low-budget special effects and cheesy acting add a lot of charm and make it feel like a cult classic in the making. It’s definitely not a perfect movie, but the humor and creativity behind it keep you entertained the whole time. If you like weird, over-the-top movies that don’t take themselves seriously, VelociPastor is a great pick. I’d watch it again just for the laughs and wild action scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Alex N Going into this movie, I had my doubts, however this movie is like a little kid's fever dream. A priest turning into a dinosaur to fight crime and ninjas is an incredible concept, and the only thing that is holding this money back is its budget. The effects are bad, but in a weird way funny. The acting is over the top but it matches the film's energy. It fully capitalizes on the stupidity of the film to the point it made it fun. I had a great time watching it, my attention was captured for most of the film, and it's definitely a film I would want to watch with friends because of the fun concept. I give this movie 3 stars out of 5. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Travis D It's definitely one of those fun-bad movies where everything about it; the plot and effects are just weird and terrible. Keeping an open mind on this film just lets you have fun watching it, it's literally a priest who turns into a velociraptor and fights crime. It's so stupid just hearing about it. It's like one of those weird funny dreams you get and just made it into a film, I bet the directly actually dreamed of this and made his dream come true. The priest becoming a velociraptor is just the beginning of this fun-bad movie, not only he uses his velociraptor to fight crime, but to also fight ninjas. The acting is so bad that it's so funny. Theres scenes where they try to act serious, but it's bad that it just seems like a joking around, being sarcastic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Carlos C VelociPastor is one of the weirdest but funniest movies I’ve seen. It’s about a priest who turns into a dinosaur and fights crimes. Yeah, that’s really the plot. The movie is very low budget, but that’s part of what makes it so funny. It knows it’s silly and doesn’t try to be serious. There’s bad acting, and even ninjas, but somehow it works in a some way. I was laughing the whole time, sometimes because it was funny on purpose, and sometimes because it was just so bad it made you laugh. If you like movies that are wild and don’t care about being visually good, you’ll enjoy this. Don’t expect a deep story, just go in ready to laugh and have a good time with something truly ridiculous. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
