Movie Description 6973s
God Told Me To (released in some theatrical markets as Demon) is a 1976 science fiction/horror film written and directed by Larry Cohen. Like many of Cohen's films, it is set in New York City and incorporates aspects of the police procedural.
Andy Kaufman appears as a possessed policeman who goes on a shooting rampage at the Saint Patrick's Day parade - it was Kaufman's first role in any film, and the same footage was later used for the finale of a documentary called The ion of Andy Kaufman, in a segment called "Thus Spake Zarathustra", with music by Eumir Deodato. Sylvia Sidney appears as Detective Nicholas's long-lost, traumatized mother in a nursing home.
