This black comedy by idiosyncratic independent filmmaker Beth B. looks at the world of COD salvation. Looking as if he has crawled from beneath a rock, sleazy Jerome Stample (Viggo Mortensen) plays more than footsie with his slatternly sister-in-law, Lenore Finley (Dominique Davalos),
while his wife, Rhonda (Exene Cervenka), is blissfully transfixed by the TV preaching of Rev. Edward Randall (Stephen McHattie). Lenore sets about seducing the reverend. He is both repulsed and overcome with lust. But Randall has been set up for blackmail by Stample. Made on a budget of $800,000,
SALVATION! has the stylized look of a rock video. The characters are not as well develope...
