Messiah of Evil
Willard Huyck, 1973
A young woman comes to a quiet seaside town, looking for her father. She finds zombies. Or an evil cult. Or both. Something like that.
This was an odd one. After watching the whole thing, I'm still not sure what was going on - and I'm pretty sure the pre-credits sequence had nothing to do with anything. What it lacked in sense, though, it made up for in atmosphere, some fantastic art direction, and a couple of really solid setpieces. I think I'll need to see it again to really work out what I think about it, but for now, I'm a fan.
7.5/10
