Honestly I'm shocked that a search for these words brought up no results because this movie is ALL I ever hear about in the group that I post in these days.
Is everyone here as obsessed with this movie as they appear to be elsewhere? Can someone please explain to me why all the hype?
Personally I hated it. Lousy porn stars as cast, more of a porno than a movie to be honest. Cheap script with entirely too much profanity and little to no narrative, and to top if off underwhelming kills. Pretty much no redeeming values as far as I see it.
I'm sure I'll get crucified for saying this but I dont real care much any more because I don't post here anymore or know any of the new members, It would just be great to hear someone agree with me on this one.

The story just didn't sound appealing to me, so haven't given it a try.

Thanks for your input angra. Bummer after 2 days this is the only post. Clearly this forum has died in the past couple of years.. Its been nice posting here, being that I started doing so at the age of 14. Made a lot of online friends and learned a lot as well. Going to officially call it quits now, theres no point trying to discuss movies on a website no one posts on anymore. I wish you all well.
Signing off

You'll be back.
The problem is, nobody has yet seen this movie so nobody can discuss it. I'm sure if it ends up on netflix people will start talking.

Key words "more of a porno" - doesn't interest me at all. Plus, never heard of it.
BTW, this is the first I'm seeing this thread, as soon as I saw it, I posted my reply. Need to have a little patience for people to reply. It's summer after all. Usually people take vacations and aren't stuck inside.
never heard of it.
we've watched you grow from a caterpillar into a full grown Mothman and you are just going to give up on this forum so easy?
shame on you ::mad::

I've been curious about this one. Lots of people were going apeshit over the first edition of the disc and it was going for big dollars. Shame to hear the kills are underwhelming I thought that would be the one thing going for it. I do like my trashy shit like Ryan Nicholson's flicks so I'll give it a day in court.

Well i've just watched it after reading this topic as i was curious. The film itself wasnt very good but i have seen much worse. I don;t agree with people saying its more of a porno at all, again ive seen a lot more films with more sex and nudity in it than this one. Overall i give it 5/10.

I found this description on IMDB:
Cross Bearer (2012)
Heather is broke. She has a soul sucking job as a stripper. Her live-in girlfriend Victoria has a baby and a coke problem. Her boss Harry is an abusive maniac. Life cannot get much worse... or so she thought. Determined to get out of this living hell, Heather and her lover, Bunny, plan to rip off Harry, ditch Victoria, and leave town to live out their days on the Greek islands in peaceful bliss. One big score is all they need, and Harry gives them the opportunity when he asks them to take care of a drug deal with one of his clients at an old warehouse. As Heather and her friends arrive, everything seems to be going fine until they make a grizzly discovery and are trapped inside by a rambling, religious maniac hell-bent on purifying the Earth of its sins through murder and destruction. Armed with a carpenter's hammer and a fanatic passion, the Cross Bearer hunts Heather and her friends down one-by-one in a sadistic crusade to burn clean the filth of the world. Heather's dreams are shattered and if she survives nothing will ever be the same. Unflinchingly raw, primal, and horrifying, Cross Bearer is a trip to the darkest, most vile side of humanity.
I like the part in bold, "As Heather and her friends arrive, everything seems to be going fine until they make a grizzly discovery"... Where up to that point does 'everything seem to going fine'? Going to a warehouse to make a drug deal with a stranger, hired by her abusive boss, to then take the money and run... Yes, just when they were about to relax... they make a horrifying discovery. Just how much time was there between entering the warehouse and finding the hammer murder was there? Sounds like the basic irrelevant plot structure for gore & porn. Doesn't really interest me.

Watched it and own two copies, I know the filmmaker and he's an amazing director, true passion for indie/underground scene.
I have to say there is no pornography in this, the story settles around a strip club and a girl wanted to get out of that life. Natalie Jean stars in this and is one of the most beautiful women acting in indie films. The kills are awesome and so is the Cross Bearer.

Of course this is just my opinion.
