Messiah of Evil

(1975)Directed by Willard Huyck90 min · RHorror, Mystery
“Terror you won't want to remember—in a film you won’t be able to forget.”

Arletty Lang (Marianna Hill) has one aim when she reaches the California coast: to find her father Joseph (Royal Dano), an artist whose letters stopped and who no one will explain. She settles into the seaside town of Point Dune, where the locals behave strangely and an undead cult seems to hold the whole place in its grip. Willard Huyck follows her through the town, and she keeps searching even as the people around her stop being the ones she met.
