The Story:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lou Hanske’s having a hell of a day … he’s lost his job, totaled his car, and been attacked by a bear. Just when it seems like life can’t get any worse, Lou is informed by the eccentric Church of Frank that he’s “The Chosen One” \u2014 the savior from prophecy who must travel to Kansas, speak to God and deliver the world into a new age. Together with his elderly roommate Zeb (Chris Sarandon), his best friend Donna (Danielle Fishel) and Lucifer himself (Tim Curry), Lou (Chad Fifer) must master his budding super-powers to overcome Ninjas, Thugs, Femme Fatales (Traci Lords), Religious Zealots (Lance Henriksen), his obsession with his SciFi star ex-girlfriend (Laura Prepon), Giant Monsters and a Posse of Kung Fu Robots in order to fulfill his destiny!<\/p>\n

Hmm, not a bad cast for an independent animated feature film that includes, among other things, zombie robots (what’s a zombie robot?) and a giant monster…<\/p>\n

And for good luck, here is Tim Curry discussing the film and his role as Lucifer:<\/p>\n
