Clash of the Titans in the Philippines
BandSAboutMovies30 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A formula, if you will: Clash of the Titans X made in the Philippines X werewolves + witches + a cyclops + vampires = Boy God, one of the strangest films I've seen (and just think what that entails).

Long story short: A young boy who has superpowers and is immortal battles to free his parents from the limbo where they are doing penance for their sins.

See, his parents got gunned down the night he was born and now, he's super strong and can roll as a ball, except when he gets wet. Got it? He battles Dr. Meagele, then some werewolf witches - yes the same people - who want to cook him like a pig before a giant vampire bat attacks him and he meets the god Vulcan.

I also forgot that the Stone Boy/Boy God was of divine birth, but it feels more like The Entity than the Good News. Also: This is a kid movie.

Why Mondo Macabro hasn't released this yet astounds me. I love those guys, but they gotta get on it. It's the best movie I've ever seen where werewolf women baste a small boy while discussing how they can't wait to eat him.
