The Judas Project (1990) is a "modern version" of the Jesus story about "Jesse" and his followers. Much of the dialogue, escpecially Jesse's is paraphrased directly from the Bible. The director seems to have intended the film to be a presentation of the life of Christ in a modern setting. What if Jesus came for the first time ... today?
"Treypole," an IMDB (*) commenter from Texas is a Christian and a filmmaker who said, "Both parts of me were offended by this well-intended turkey." He describes Jesse as sensitive and weepy-eyed.
Several commenters noticed what they perceived to be a subtle anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish bias in the film.
One commenter describes the film as a Christian Ed Wood production. Ed Wood was the nearly legendary exuberant but utterly incompetent director of such hilariously inept films as Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen or Glenda?, and Bride of the Monster.
