Messiah of Evil(1973)

Arletty ( the very pretty Marianna Hill) goes to visit her father in a creepy coastal town and discovers a moon cult of flesh eating zombies.

A slow moving and spooky film dripping with atmosphere and weird characters, including a very strange albino chap.
And well acted by a cast of unknowns, with memorable scenes in a supermarket where the ghouls are all tucking into the meat in the freezers, and a young girl getting attacked by the patrons at the local cinema.
not as gory as you would think as much of what happens is done off camera. but still packs a punch nevertheless.

Overall this is another great 70s gem that is well worth a watch. quirky and dreamlike, but holds your interest 72 out of 10
