Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

mnewton-787-9458 If you overlook the first 40-minutes of the dragging foot of crippled dialogue, narration and senseless jabbering, you may find an entertaining lost episode of Scooby Doo. Correction. Scooby Doo has a more convincing creepy atmosphere. This is a dull, bus ride of underplayed overly dramatic characters. It has the dream-like quality of a bad movie nightmare. One where you're having pee dreams and can't wake up. By the time you finally escape the nightmare, you have wet your bed. Messiah of Evil, a.k.a. Dead People obviously tried to capitalize on the success of Night of the Living Dead, but forgot the most important element...terror. Its attempts at terrifying moments just seem to lie there like the Dead as a Doornail Not-so Living Dead. It has the pacing of a sloth.

jarretyoung123 This film technically isn't completely a zombie film but a mystery, it's a true look into a nightmare and is by far the greatest hidden gem of the seventies if you ask me. A young woman named Arletty enters the sea side town of point Dune searching for her father, but she unexpectedly enters a nightmare fueled hell for she has Arrived on the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the dark stranger, a priest who came with intentions of spreading his new order. But The anniversary is nothing to be celebrated for the moon, blood red, has turned the whole town into zombies. Arletty along with the suspicious threesome, must solve the mystery of point dune and escape, before they too are changed.This film ends fairly ambiguous with the viewer wondering if the events ever even happened, no loose ends are tied by the end of the film but it's fairly obvious that this was done on purpose to give the film a more mysterious feel. This is truly a strange film and it has to be one of the best paced films I have ever found. Truly a one of a kind I could not recommend enough.

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.

asiaever This horror movie is definitely a forgotten gem from the 1970s. A young woman wants to visit her father, an artist, in a small Californian town and discovers that he has disappeared without a trace. When she's trying to track him down, she realizes that his disappearance is linked to a terrible threat. The film's strong emphasis on atmosphere and mood, created by a slow, but effective pace, unusual premises, a weird music as well as a suggested hidden threat confers to it a surreal tone that reminds a little bit of ''Carnival of Souls''.The hidden threat is actually an unknown and indistinct evil force that is progressively taking possession of an entire town by transforming its inhabitants into killers.All these elements produce in the viewer a constant feeling of uneasiness and insecurity that makes this movie captivating to watch.
