Late Nite Grindhouse Presents ‘MESSIAH OF EVIL’ at Marcus Des Peres 14 Cine on November 10 & 11
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, we’re proud to be showing the underrated, underseen atmospheric creeper, MESSIAH OF EVIL.
Thanks to the folks at Radiance Films, we were able to book this title using the 4K restoration performed on the best-surviving elements of the film from The Academy Film Archive.
This is one of my favorite less-seen horror films of the 70’s. The American film seems to borrow plenty from Euro-horror aesthetic that give hints of Mario Bava and Dario Argento. This one is going to be an absolute joy to watch in the theater (especially that one scene, wink wink).
SYNOPSIS
After receiving a string of unsettling letters from her father, Arletty arrives in a sleepy California coastal town called Point Dune. Dad is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Arletty finds a town full of drugged-out burnouts, barren shopping centers, and… something else. Echoing everything from Herk Harvey’s CARNIVAL OF SOULS to Mario Bava’s KILL, BABY… KILL!, MESSIAH OF EVIL is a swirling vortex of Lovecraftian terror, analog synth attacks, and grisly bloodshed from the team who’d later go on to make HOWARD THE DUCK.
