“A sexy, hilarious, Grand Guignol of mesmerism, vampirism, and physical stirrings, wrapped up in a flickering black-and-white bow!” –Washington Post 

“Mormonism’s answer to Reefer Madness is back, in a remake … that exceeds the original’s campy silliness! Three words: Polygamous zombie vampires!” –Salt Lake Tribune

“A riot! Wildly funny! You’d think this would be one-note material, but the script keeps raising the level of Mormophobia (and gore) to hilarious extremes.” –Cleveland Free Times

Trapped by the Mormons plays for high artistic stakes — for who has not at some time been possessed by love, religion, or some other passionate delusion? Allen and his D.C.-based theatre company, Cherry Red, prove that the silent cinema derives its deepest inspiration from dance; the startling gesture repertoire with which Allen invests his performers makes even a faked resurrection seem true to life.” –The New Yorker

“Starring drag king Johnny Kat in a hilarious gender bending performance as the crazed missionary, Trapped by the Mormons skewers intolerance against the Latter-Day Saints with heaping portions of campy shenanigans. A very, very funny film!” –Film Threat

“For sheer novelty value, it’s hard to top this C-grade remake of a Z-grade twenties exploitation flick that warns of the evil, mysterious wiles of Mormonism… It’s often amateurish, which of course just enhances its pomo sleaziness!” –New York Magazine

“While positioned firmly as camp, this new Trapped by the Mormons is a surprisingly faithful rendering — at least until the flesh-eating zombies show up! This must be the first movie in which an LDS pamphlet is used as a masturbation aid.” –The Village Voice

“If you only see one Mormonsploitation flick in your lifetime, make it this one!” -Gawker

Trapped by the Mormons is good to the last bite!” -NY Post
