The True Story of the Christ's Return is an attempt at recreating the style and atmosphere of the 16mm experimental / art films of the 1970s, though still leaning a bit towards the horror, slightly sci-fi side.

Jay Creepy of Severed Cinema notes, "This short has a lot of depth. Mario Murgia has seriously planned and executed the shots plus angles of the scenes to layer on dreamy doom-laden material."
