Well that was kind of like watching an old Living Dead movie with some suggestive sexy parts thrown in. “You don’t just unzip a man and say goodnight.”

This wasn't half bad - a soundtrack that influenced "It Follows" maybe. Pretty atmospheric...was it a cannibal movie - a body snatchers - movie - a zombie movie ? A good solid film that would have been even better without the unnecessary voiceover.

Utterly bizarre, Messiah of Evil feels like Jean Rollin adapting an unpublished work by HP Lovecraft. Its tone alternates between spooky and incompetent like the pendulum on a grandfather clock and at times feels like either Carnival of Souls, being legitimately atmospheric and spooky and Manos the Hands of Fate, feeling like a stifling nightmare of a person that has no business making movies. It's no wonder that the couple which produced it went on to make Howard The Duck. Definitely worth your time, but temper your expectations. It dares you to shut it off and watch something else before pulling you back in.
