Reflections on Film Culture

Messiah of Evil (1973)

Hailed in 2003 by The British Film Institute as “a rare work of cinematic genius,” this occult tale comes from writer/director Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, known for his work on such popular movies as American Graffiti, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and of course, Howard the Duck. Starring a bevy of 1970s eye candy, including Anitra Ford, Joy Bang, and Marianna Hill, Messiah of Evil is about a young woman (Hill) whose search for her missing father brings her to a strange seaside town under the influence of a mysterious cult.
