Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

thorr-3 This was such a boring, confusing movie!.....very slow moving! ........after 6 minutes I lost interest and couldnt understand a single scene. ......I shut it off and watched Candyman 3 ......now that is an awesome scary movie. Avoid this garbage and watch Friday the 13 series or Candyman.....you will be glad you read my review~

Wuchak Released in 1973, "Messiah of Evil" is an American film. The title is misleading; the movie was originally called "Dead People," which is more fitting.THE PLOT: A woman (Marianna Hill) goes to the California coastal town of Point Dune to visit her artist father. She can't find him, but runs into a guy (Michael Greer) and his two female companions (Anitra Ford & Joy Bang). They all soon discover that there are mysterious and peculiar things going on in town: The people are somnambulistic and mysteriously stand at the shore every twilight looking out to sea. Things eventually take a deadly turn.The film has a haunting ambiance, effectively combining elements of "Carnival of Souls" (1962) and "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). It's on par with "Carnival" but not great like "Night," a classic horror masterpiece.As noted above, Marianna Hill is the doe-eyed protagonist. You may not remember her, but she's one of the most beautiful women to ever appear on the Original Series of Star Trek, specifically the episode "Dagger of the the Mind" as Dr. Helen Noel. The film is a must for fans of Ms. Hill (like me) since she is prominently featured.The title "Messiah of Evil" is too generic and gives the impression that the story prominently features a weirdo dark Christ-figure, but this is hardly the case. The dark messiah is ambiguous and barely featured. A more fitting title would be "Village of the Dead" or something to this effect.BOTTOM LINE: Many hail this as a moody horror masterpiece from the early 70s. It has a few highlights and is mandatory viewing for 60s-70s mystery/horror aficionados and admirers of the lovely Marianna Hill. Unfortunately, it's actually kind of boring and the whole "dark messiah" side of the story is seriously insubstantial.The film runs 90 minutes and was shot in Malibu, Burbank, Anaheim, Melrose, Venice and Echo Park, California.GRADE: C+ or B-

artpf A young woman goes searching for her missing artist father. Her journey takes her to a strange Californian seaside town governed by a mysterious undead cult.This is a very very strange trippy surreal movie that is American made but directed like an Argento Italian horror movie. Complete with tinny wind sounds indoors!The plot is hard to follow and little of it makes sense, which might be why I like it. It takes no prisoners. And the more odd it gets the more you are drawn to watching it.Is it a great film? I don't think so. But I'm not sure. It's that odd. You are left with the feeling that there is a subtext that only the husband and wife team who wrote and directed it know about. Like the entire trip has a different meaning than what you just watched.I'm giving it an 8. Part of me want to give it a six and part of me a ten.Also, we're never sure if the creatures are zombies or vampires or something else. But I'll tell you this: this movie has two of the most down right creepiest scenes ever filmed on the planet.Both involve woman who become victims of being eaten by the creatures. And when they get eaten, it's not in a way that's enjoyable to either.Had I seen this movie was I was a kid, I think those two scenes would have given me nightmares for years.

Roman James Hoffman 'Messiah of Evil' is a relatively unknown B-Movie horror curio from the Seventies. A woman goes to a small seaside town to look for her artist father after he mysteriously stops correspondence with her and finds that something is well and truly afoot in the town. From the off the film establishes a disjointed atmosphere which is accentuated when she teams up with a man and two (stunning) women involved in a bizarre three-way relationship and together they try to fathom just what the dickens is going on in this creepy town. From here they learn that the town has become (for reasons unknown) a flesh-eating zombie cult.On the surface the movie appears to have little in the way of characterisation or plot, but any gaps in these qualities only serve to highlight the lingering oddness that pervades the film which reminded me strongly of the distanced dream-like quality of Herk Harvey's B-movie classic 'Carnival of Souls' (1962) and, to a lesser extent, Argento's 'Suspiria' (1977)…if the hysteric flailing of Argento's classic had been given a sedative, that is. This effect is achieved through the locale of the town itself, the fine cinematography, the use of voice-overs, and the music all working effectively to build suspense as the eeriness unfolds climaxing in some genuinely surreal and haunting scenes.However, it must be said that while I found the surreal world created for me easy to step into and inhabit I can easily see how fans of conventional horror would be put off by the creeping pace and absence of anything tangibly horrific. Still, it's the kind of movie that lives happily with its "cult" tag and sits comfortably among the late-night schedules which it knows all-too-well how to haunt.**************************Public domain movie.
