Pamela's Prayer (1998)


I'm no fan of fundamentalist Christian films, but I'm also not someone who thinks they're automatically hilarious. This one is bizarre enough to be slightly entertaining. A single father raises his daughter to remain "pure" by never kissing a man before marriage, never dating, never actually interacting with anyone... and substituting prayer with him for those things. Then she turns 18 and has a date which leads to marriage - how this is possible in the world of the film is inexplicable. The film is creepy and very poorly acted, but it's technically good and mostly hangs together.
