Alternate Ending - 7/10 by Tim BraytonIt's an amazing success at instilling the sensation of waiting for something awful and nightmarish to happen.
User Review - 10/10 by Anthony CAn excellent and underated horror film. Seeing this i idid not expect it to be as good as it was due to its public domian status and chessy alternate titles but i was pleasantly supriesed. Slow ,atohpereic and artsy this movie leaves good time for chracter development but at the same time draws you into its bizare tone. the pacing is grate and the twist while predicable works. Proof that you dont need gore for a frighting flick i recommened this movie to fans of Carnival of souls or lets scare jessica to death as it is in the same class as those
User Review - 10/10 by louis gDidn't plan to watch the entire movie last night but I did. Excellent creepy stuff.
User Review - 10/10 by Allen RFantastic forgotten gem of 70's horror that wrings a vibe of hallucinatory weirdness for every drop of stylistic fright that it can. It's like a lost or Argento or Bava, with transfixing visuals that are are both beautiful and disorienting, and the story is a pure Lovecraftian riff on his "Shadow over Innsmouth" novella. Fans of 70's cinema should take note of the production pedigree - written, directed, and produced by the writers of AMERICAN GRAFFITI, edited by the award-winning editor of ROCKY, art directed by award-winning Jack Fisk, lensed by famed DP Steven Katz, and features the great Walter Hill.

User Review - 8/10 by Dave Za very messed up movie. not your everyday zombie/living dead movie at all. this movie relies on more of the things that aren't seen and leaves your mind in terror. the scene that stuck out most was the scene in the grocery store. very creepy.
User Review - 8/10 by David MRarely (if ever) listed amongst zombie films, 1972's Messiah of Evil really has a lot in common with the genre. Blending some post-Carnival of Souls weirdness with some proto-Dawn of the Dead cinematography, the film is successful on a number of levels. Certain aspects haven't aged well, but overall, the film has a sense of dread rarely captured in the genre.
User Review - 8/10 by Travis JI wonder if George A. Romero saw this; it has zombies in a supermarket, four years before he put them in a mall. It also reminded me a bit of CARNIVAL OF SOULS and LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH. It has many, many shots of waves breaking on a beach. Recommended to those who like their horror highly ambiguous.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VI got this movie in a DVD pack of vampire flicks, but it's not a vampire movie really. It's really creepy and I really liked it, even though I was disappointed about there being no vampires. Check it out, it's good.
User Review - 8/10 by Kristian MDecent atmospheric horror, felt like a mix of Let's Scare Jessica to Death and Dead and Buried.
