Weekend 7 of shooting CUT TO RED is in the can. 6 shoot weekends left. If you want to support underground art in South Carolina, you can pre-order the movie or come on as a producer here: www.cuttored.com -- And thank you to everyone who has already supported it. I couldn't do it without you.

Have you seen SEE YOU ON THE BEACH? It's the "proof of concept" short we shot for CUT TO RED. We put it up a couple of days ago along with a fundraiser and I'm proud to say we've raised half the budget for the movie in 2 days. The movie and fundraiser are both up at our website: www.cuttored.com

Spooktober 2025

Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024):

Ticks all of @bobcluness.bsky.social boxes. Weird esoterica, record shop hangouts, psychedelics, and, of course, gore. Loved the attitude, it feels like it was made with genuine love. Quite fucked up, but works as a Mandy prequel.

PATER NOSTER AND THE MISSION OF LIGHT

Truly wild mix of LORDS OF SALEM, HELTER SKELTER and TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE about a vintage record collector who gets her hands on a super rare LP and faiis Prey to the psycho hippie death cult that recorded it 40 years ago.

Only a few days left until Halloween. I've been watching horror movies every night for the last 3 weeks. The only two movies I can recommend are MadS and Pater Noster and the Mission of Light. A little disappointing. I'm going to try a classic tonight and watch Onibaba. 👻🎃

For the 17th of spooktober I watched Pater Noster And The Mission Of Light. It’s a pretty good low budget horror movie from last year. You can’t even really tell it’s low budget. It’s got some good gross out moments and has good creepy vibes

A ★★★★ review of Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024) Lofi punk splatter that hates hippies the appropriate amount, much like Mandy which clearly inspired it. Cheap and fun, lots of psychedelic gore bits, and a real underground feel—by which I mean the a...

19/31: Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024)
Smells like an old used record store, tastes like Manna

Vrijdag kan je Pater Noster and the Mission of Light gaan bekijken tijdens Razor Reel Flanders Film Fest. Wij spraken met regisseur Christopher Bickel over deze psychedelische trip: fastforwardfilm.be?p=50148

Our movie Pater Noster and the Mission of Light hit a bunch of pirate sites this week including Dailymotion (with fucking ADS IN IT) . Good news is we got a lot of new (mostly positive) reviews. Bad news is I'm about to start making a new movie and it's hard to do when people don't pay for them.

Thank you so much!!! <3

PATER NOSTER AND THE MISSION OF LIGHT (2024)

Searching for a rare valuable record, a record store clerk stumbles on to the hippie cult that made the record. It does not go well for Max & her friends at the cult compound.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024) Max, a young record store clerk stumbles upon a rare vinyl LP and is drawn into the world of a 1970s hippie commune. An invitation to the remnants of the cult and its unholy spawn leads to grave circu...

We reached a milestone today! Over 1,000 logged watches on Letterboxd. Extrapolating from the guesstimated law of internet averages, I'd imagine the number of people in the world who have seen the movie is 100x that. Piracy is an effective distribution system.

Films I'll be seeing at Sydney Underground Film Festival tonight:

TOKYO EVIL HOTEL by Yoshihiro Nishimura
PATER NOSTER AND THE MISSION OF LIGHT by Christopher Bickel
THE PEE PEE POO POO MAN by Braden Sitter Sr.

"He didn't deserve this"

Pater Noster and the Mission of Light: a Horror Movie And an Ode to Records There’s a meme I once saw that I felt rang true: “Hippies are mean people pretending to be nice and punks are nice people pretending to be mean.” Every generation sucks though when you get down to it....

while IHTOV is on break, i will highlight some past pieces. this is an interview between @owenbrazas.bsky.social and director @smashism.bsky.social about his film "Pater Noster and the Mission of Light." ihavethatonvinyl.com/conversation...

Pater Noster and the Mission of Light, una psicodélica locura llena de gore y música Pater Noster and the Mission of Light le da de zapes a Rob Zombie en un filme que nos muestra lo alocada, tétrica y violenta que puede ser una secta

One of the most delightful reviews we've received and it's en Español.

He just blamed the video of something be thrown out of the White House window on "A.I." but then a minute later said "if anything bad happens, blame A.I."

There's no doubt in my mind he's had a stroke. He looks like shit. I mean even more shitty than usual.

OMG this theater looks amazing

Recomiendo ampliamente tengan en su radar Pater Noster and the mission of light. Especial para los fans de la música y los cultos.

I immediately hate any movie that does ad buyouts of Letterboxd, causing all their pages to crash and load wonky. @letterboxd.social

A ★★★★★ review of DEVO (2024) Excellent documentary on one of the most interesting American bands of all time. The editing here really shines, packing so much of DEVO's visual identity into the narrative. My only complaint is that...

DEVO documentary on Netflix was excellent - here's how it could have been longer and better

WOW!!
