Movie Reviews of Messiah of Evil: The Second Coming
Movie Review: Lost masterpiece for you to discover
Summary: 5 Stars
Code Red DVD has at long last put out a true masterpiece of genre movie-making for fans of avant-garde horror. Messiah Of Evil ranks right up alongside other 1970's classics such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn Of The Dead, Shivers and Eraserhead with comparative inventive aplomb.
Beginning with the onscreen graphic murder of then aspiring young actor and soon to be renowned movie director Walter Hill this visually poetic tale of dark forces at play in a small fictitious Californian costal town known as Pointe Dune mesmerises the viewer like a moth to a night flame. Told from the perspective of a woman in search of her artist father in the titular town where she meets an effete, but intriguing man and his two female charges and their unfolding encounters which occur therein.
If you enjoy cinema which transports you to a world of visual originality where fantastic heightened reality becomes a doorway to impressions, ideas, emotional engagement, stimulating imagery and an abundance of atmospheric ambience, this film is one to savour and treasure. This art-house-horror film has made and left a lasting resonance upon this viewer.
If you are a fan of such film directors as David Cronenberg, David Lynch, George Romero, Dario Argento and other enigmatic examples of 1970's cinema then I urge you to order this lost treat unearthed and beautifully restored with many extra's including a commentary track, interviews and short film by the same director all wrapped up in an evocative sleeve from rising cult label new stars Code Red DVD
