The strongest feature of Messiah of Evil is the tone, the atmosphere of the composition, a certain 70s horror movie vibe, on top we get a couple of strong scenes. But in my opinion Messiah of Evil is for some reason not known to a broader audience and for sure it is not an unknown masterpiece nor is it a surreal trip - for this the movie is simply to tame and slow (remember, only a year later something called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was published), and could be rather a horror movie of the 60s. It reminds me a little of those Hammer movie of the 60s, obviously without the gothic chic but with the look of the 70s. Verdict: solid, with some interesting sequences, and recommended, if you sometimes like to watch some movie just for the sake of the vibe, the tone they convey.
