Escape from the Grand Guignol

Length: 85 min.

Age Recommendation/Content: 13 - adult (preteens generally welcome); dramatic themes & situations

Released: 2022

Synopsis:

In a dark, twisted part of the world sits the Grelling-Nelson Sanitorium, here to cure the inmates from their insanity. They claim to have a king living on the inside of them, and the conspirators at the asylum will stop at nothing to keep the patients quiet about the supernatural entity they call Yeshua. This frenetic rock musical is a searing satire on society’s ongoing war against Christianity, a pulsing fever dream of twists, turns, and ideologies in a world that isn’t what it appears to be; one of YC's more theologically and creatively complex films. NOTE: Downloading only available on laptops and computers, not phones.
