God Told Me To

In a restless, neon‑lit New York City where everyday chaos sometimes masks something far more unsettling, a series of inexplicable crimes begins to ripple through the streets. The authorities are baffled, the media murmurs, and a thin veil of fear settles over the metropolis, hinting that ordinary violence may be only the surface of a deeper, stranger phenomenon. Under this uneasy sky, a covert cult whispers its presence, its members bound together by a mystifying belief that transcends conventional faith.

At the heart of the investigation is Peter Nicholas, a seasoned NYPD detective whose devotion to Catholicism provides both a compass and a conflict as he confronts the bizarre. His methodical mind and relentless drive clash with the irrationality of the victims’ claims, forcing him to navigate a labyrinth where doctrine, madness, and possible extraterrestrial influence intertwine. The city’s gritty realism—its crowded subways, towering skyscrapers, and relentless sirens—serves as a stark backdrop to the growing sense of otherworldly intrusion.

The cult’s leader, an enigmatic figure whose very appearance suggests an unsettling hybrid of human and alien origins, remains a shadowy catalyst for the unfolding mystery. Their cryptic teachings and eerie charisma hint at a purpose that challenges the detective’s convictions and the very nature of reality. As Nicholas delves deeper, the atmosphere thickens with a blend of noir tension and cosmic dread, each revelation pulling him farther from the familiar streets he patrols.

The film cultivates a mood of oppressive curiosity, pairing the gritty procedural tone of a police drama with the unsettling ambience of a sci‑fi horror. It asks what happens when a man of faith is thrust into a world where divine commands may be masquerading as alien whispers, and whether the search for truth can endure the weight of an emerging, unimaginable reality.
