I was rewatching Annie Hall today. The scene when Woody Allen and Diane Keaton first arrive in Los Angeles, the camera follows them as they are driving and they pass a movie theatre and on the marquee are two films, House of Exorcism and Messiah of Evil. I was planning to watch Messiah of Evil today before Annie Hall, so it was a funny coincidence. This movie was creepy and unnerving, though not the greatest. But I enjoyed the atmosphere and music, so I recommend it.
Very real …. . very creepy …. . nuff said.
Interesting take on zombies
A mix of a basic three act surnatural horror movie : initial setting, come up and then a big night of spooky stuff, but like, in an art film. Weirdly a great art movie for people who likes zombie and weird tales
This is an art film and, more than that, a pop art film. If you like your zombies either a clear etiology, you’ll be frustrated here.
