Baked Baby Jesus

About This Movie

So, 'Baked Baby Jesus' is this wild underground piece from Mike Diana that really pushes boundaries. It starts with this guy literally giving birth to a baby Jesus made of dough—yeah, you read that right. The atmosphere is drenched in a kind of surreal dread, which is a hallmark of artsploitation. Pacing is all over the place, but it adds to the disorienting feel; you never quite know where it’s headed next. The practical effects are raw and, dare I say, a bit grotesque, which totally fits the film's vibe. Performances range from bizarre to utterly unhinged. It’s definitely distinctive with its off-kilter themes around religion and creation—it’s a trip, for sure.
