31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 30: MESSIAH OF EVIL 1973 (MILL CREEK)

One of the most original horror films I have ever seen!!

A woman, played by Marianne Hill goes to visit her father who has disappeared from a small California seaside town after leaving some very strange notes behind.

She meets a trio of people, a man and two women played by Michael Greer, Joy Bang and the gorgeous Anitra Ford as well as a wino named Charlie played by Elisha Cook, Jr. Things get ever weirder as she finds some of the people standing out on the beach with lit fires and staring up at the sky.

Needless to say she finally meets her father and learns the truth about him and the town she is staying in and it isn't pleasant. Seem the people are slowly mutating into fleash craving zombies because of a curse made many years ago.

There are several standout scenes in this film including Joy in a theater playing a movie entitled Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye and Anitra in a grocery store and an albino truck driver and his beach rats. All shocking indeed and images you will not soon forget.

Highly Recommended for sheer terror, unique plot and originality. Wow!!
