Messias des Bösen: Directed by Willard Huyck, Gloria Katz. With Michael Greer, Marianna Hill, Joy Bang, Anitra Ford. 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.

“After losing contact with her artist father, Arletty (Marianna Hill) travels to the coastal town Point Dune. She does not find him and stumbles upon Thom (Michael Greer), a weird wealthy man that is travelling with two lovers, Toni (Joy Bang) and Laura (Anitra Ford), to meet her father. She reads his diary and soon she realizes that there is something strange with the residents of the Californian town.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Messiah of Evilu0026quot; is an atmospheric horror film with a messy screenplay and disappointing conclusion. There are several great scenes and creepy deaths with wonderful cinematography. However the character Thom never works and his arrival to the house of Arlettyu0026#39;s father is ridiculous. The living sharing Point Dune with the dead is also absurd. Last but not the least, there is no satisfactory explanation for the transformation of the dwellers into zombies. My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Zumbís do Malu0026quot; (u0026quot;Zombies of Evilu0026quot;)”
