Messiah of Evil
Leaving November 30
•
1h 29m
Directed by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz • 1973 • United States
Starring Marianna Hill, Michael Greer, Joy Bang
A woman (Marianna Hill) arrives in a sleepy seaside town after receiving unsettling letters from her father, only to discover that the town is under the influence of a strange cult that weeps tears of blood and hungers for human flesh. From Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the writers of AMERICAN GRAFFITI, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, and HOWARD THE DUCK, this dreamily atmospheric cult classic transposes the post–NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD zombie movie to a surreal small-town American setting, presented through gorgeous Techniscope visuals that echo the stylish European horror of Mario Bava and Hammer Films.
