This is the kind of movie that will grow on you over time as you notice more details with repeated viewings. It's not a perfect movie and ends a little bit abruptly (but with a great twist), but there are some excellent, creepy sequences for sure and plenty of memorable imagery and atmosphere. Thanks for reposting this movie, Creature Features. :)
Barbara Crampton is/was such a heart throb femme fatale in all those great movies I was a teen watching! Great to see she is still rocking! Thank you Barbara for making so many great horror moments in my teen-life. Love ya!
It's a pretty good horror movie with lots of very scary scenes. The atmosphere in itself is gloomy and ominous. It's an unusual film because it doesn't follow the typical zombie plot; the virus or coming out of the graveyard zombie origins, instead it offers another explanation for the zombie outbreak. It's truly a cult film.
I just keep hearing Edward G. Robinson saying "where's your messiah now?" Hey, Ed, it's on Creature Features! Join us, folks, for one big mess of evil!
Ed was spot on, even for our time: "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying: Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." - 2 Peter 3:3-4
@@janetcraft well, Janet, if you are not making a joke, here's the explanation. Dr Ehrlich's Magic Bullet is a 1940 biopic with Edgar G Robinson as Dr. Paul Ehrlich, who came up with a lot of medical advancements, including a cure for syphilis. If you are joking, given what the movie is about and what you said, that is a darn funny joke, and I salute you. 😊
Well when I can't sleep which is a heck of a lot anymore. I get out of bed around 10 p.m. and then come to my living room with my surround sound, And my 75-inch TV. Then, I begin to continuously watch episode after episode of this so enjoyable program, From your mansion, on that top Hill. So I will start at 10 p.m. I'm learn continuously watch until 6 a.m. Or just before the sun comes up and that is when I crawl back into my coffin... So to you, with Tangela, & Mister Livingston. : I say thank you for every episode Well that's enough about me so let me get started on the Messiah of evil 1973...

38:43 This albino sequence was so creepy, but I've got to hand it to that actor that he was absolutely perfect in the role, not just in his creepy presence or actions, but in the eerie, bizarre way in which he spoke and this scene is kind of funny too in a sick rat-eating and offering sort of way. ;)
4:33 Speaking of Barbara Crampton, I have 'Re-Animator' on Blu-ray as well as the soundtrack by Richard Band on CD and I'm on the hunt for 'From Beyond' which was out of print for a while, but has recently been re-released on a 4K and Blu-ray combo set. They both have a cult following and I have fond memories of watching 'From Beyond' as a VHS rental with a bunch of college roommates back in the day. :)

Barbara Crampton is on Creatures Features, fantastic I already love your crew, Vincent, you are like a dark haired Ozzy Osbourne, Livingston you just , to me, are a supreme intellectual with a Wonderful dry wit, and are wasting your God given talents doing only what your doing. Tangella you have a face of an angel, a gorgeous smile, lovely and wonderful sense of humor, and a love of animals which rivals my own. God bless you and the whole team for bringing me such wonderful entertainment every week. Now on to the guest, Barbara Crampton ooh did I have a Crush on her, she still looks fantastic, now I have a crush on Tangella also!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness
OMG! Tangela snagging Vincent and dragging him back on camera. Livingston back into frame. Livingston is actually smiling and enjoying his sojourn into frivolity. Livingston needed a lift from his droll serious side.
Great movie! It's starts with a bang, than it becomes slow, quiet and creepy until it becomes really horrifying! 😁 Masterwork! The end is just: Meh... (What a pity). A must see noneoftheless. This needs to be re-done! 💀
Although it’s a bit too moody for it’s own good, this is 6 years before “Dawn of the Dead” and the filmmakers are already putting the zombies in spaces for consumers like a supermarket and cinema, and two cops one turns zombie. This movie is like a zombie catalogue.,
"There's a conflict in every human heart, between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil, and good does not always triumph. Sometimes, the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature."
45:54 If the 'Logan's Run' soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith had a baby with 'The Omega Man' soundtrack by Ron Grainer, it would sound something like this. :)
It seems like few parts were cut out...? Like, around 1:06:15, I seem to recall a much longer sequence of people filling up the seats behind her while she's in the theater...?
Okay. Yes. I scanned to that part of the movie on Amazon Prime, and it is a much longer sequence. I've been trying to figure out what Creature Features' rule is for what if anything they will cut out of movies. Maybe in this case, the audio from the Sammy Davis, Jr. movie gave them copyright problems...?
Thank you for share the movie, the end was very cool, cool Surf Music at 0 : 55 seconds, and the Wagner composer song, the music is The mastersingers of Nuremberg overture? Thanks for put automatic translation for portuguese. 😊
Which one, Janet?! We’ve had so many. The Google snippet references a woman, while looking for her Father, encounters a “California coastal city ruled by a mysterious cult of the walking dead.”…. Hmmm sounds like our average Saturday night!😮😏
@@angelaparillo6407 angela: The movie is about an evil messiah. All I did was to answer sea campeon's statement/question by reversing the title of the movie. Other than that, I don't know anything about this film.
I remember a movie from my early childhood.. maybe 1973 where claymation-type (think Jason and the Argonauts) demons were on earth... I remember a scene where this demon flipped a car over.. it was on TV so it could have been older... and likely a B movie. But man, if anyone knows what movie I'm talking about.. let me know!
Daniel, only two possibilities come readily to my mind. One would be the 1970 movie Equinox which did feature demons on Earth and some stop motion. The other might be Gargoyles from 1972, with Cornel Wilde, and the gargoyles did look demonic. They weren't shot in stop motion, though (although they did film the creatures in slow motion to make them scarier). Do you remember anything else about it?
@@Ripley841 I wish I could remember more, but I was younger than 10 for sure. I remember they looked like giant demons more than anything undead... like 'hell on Earth" literally.
This was a terrible movie; I would have switched-off except that I enjoyed the Barbara Crampton interview. The ending of this film was the best part; reminded me of "City of Angels".
Nothing too wrong about being a hermit...lol 😂better to not rush into complicating an unwanted situation with the wrong person...rather be lonely for the right one...the discipline of the wait can make it more worthwhile lol Aloha's 😂❤Amen stay safe out there love yall
Too many interruptions, guys. It impedes the flow of the film. I appreciate your concept of an intermission, but you don't need so many caesuras or breaks in a film, even if you were able to interview the star of the film. Kudos to you on that feat but please, in the future, cut down on the pause...
The cast, crew and all of the other good people who work so hard to consistently create these interruptions each and every week truly appreciate that you've taken the time to watch our variation of this film. We know there are many other ways to watch this same movie on RUclips, with or without interruptions like ours, but we are most grateful that you chose to watch our version, with our interruptions and were candid enough to inform us about our oversight on the quantity of said interruptions.
All you have to do is skip to the next segment of the movie, it's not 1972, and this is RUclips...That is if you don't want to watch their interludes. Myself, I find them to be a nice break, the characters are humorous, they have a good energy between them, and it does bring me back in time when this company showed movies in the seventies and eighties on t.v., nostalgic.
@@LaoZi2023 Thank you for apprising me of the obvious. Do I address you as "Captain Obvious"? The fact remains, Captain, that in that particular film presentation there are just TOO MANY breaks...impedes the continuity of the narrative....

Yes. I saw few scenes again and noticed details I has missed.
Barbara Crampton is always a wonderful guest. It looks like a good movie, too. I can't believe I didn't see it.
I discovered this movie years ago and I still remember the grocery store and movie theater scenes.
They're the two creepiest scenes in the movie. No wonder you remember them!
This is one of my favorite 70's horror movies.
God I love creature features they never disappoint
Love the music in this movie; same guy did similar music for "The Severed Arm" 1973
That movie always creeped me out (and I saw it for free on TV, so it didn't cost me an arm and a leg).
@@troyhickman4904 That's Cool !!
OMG. Barbara Crampton as guest!!
Looks like Van Dahl has a crush on her. 😄

Okay, that theater scene was creepy.
Especially that it begins with the girl all alone in the theater and suddenly all those people around her.

A strange movie. Done well enough to be believable. The end reminds me a little of the movie Equinox from the '70s.
Add Vincent and Tangella to this movie and you have a docudrama about everyday life in Bodega Bay.

The great trios
You know I've seen this movie before but it did not have the heading of Messiah of evil
- until I've watched here on :

Re Released in 1980 under the title "Dead People." Nice creep factor to it. Deffo worth the watch. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
To be honest, I mainly watch these shows for the delightful Tangella.
