Product Description

Considered by many as one of the most horrifying and well received zombie films ever made, and as one of the least herald yet haunting of 1970's horror film. Contains number of masterfully scary set pieces by Tim Lucas, written and directed by the acclaimed writing team of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz (INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, HOWARD THE DUCK) and starring cult actors like Marianna Hill (HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER), Michael Greer (FORTUNE IN MEN'S EYES), Joy Bang (NIGHT OF THE COBRA WOMAN), Elisa Cook Jr (THE MALTESE FALCON) and starring Benny Robinson as Albert the Albino, MESSIAH OF EVIL: THE SECOND COMING will scare your life away!

 DEAD PEOPLE, 2009-08-07
Double feature DVD with THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE / MESSIAH OF EVIL, also known as DEAD PEOPLE (1973).
DEAD PEOPLE is brilliant. A one-of-a-kind film.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing with THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE (La plus longue nuit du diable (1971)). It's disorienting, awful, and cliched. Get ready to sleep.
Classic 70's Horror Movie, 2009-08-27
If you remember the Horror movies of the 70's especially the early 70's, you will like this double feature, they are not scary but rather funny and you will think back and remember, this used to scare me as a child. The acting is subpar, the plots predictable, the directing will not win any awards, but you will be entertained. The Devils Nightmare has pretty graphic sex scenes, so be careful not to let the young ones watch it without supervison. The stories center around the concept of Good VS Evil and both have a good concept of a good horror movie, but it is obvious they did not have the budget to pull it off. Still, two movies you can put on at midnight and eat some pop corn and remember back to the good old days of sitting in a drive in with your date.
Lost masterpiece for you to discover, 2010-01-12
Code Red DVD has at long last put out a true masterpiece of genre movie-making for fans of avant-garde horror. Messiah Of Evil ranks right up alongside other 1970's classics such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn Of The Dead, Shivers and Eraserhead with comparative inventive aplomb.
Beginning with the onscreen graphic murder of then aspiring young actor and soon to be renowned movie director Walter Hill this visually poetic tale of dark forces at play in a small fictitious Californian costal town known as Pointe Dune mesmerises the viewer like a moth to a night flame. Told from the perspective of a woman in search of her artist father in the titular town where she meets an effete, but intriguing man and his two female charges and their unfolding encounters which occur therein.
If you enjoy cinema which transports you to a world of visual originality where fantastic heightened reality becomes a doorway to impressions, ideas, emotional engagement, stimulating imagery and an abundance of atmospheric ambience, this film is one to savour and treasure. This art-house-horror film has made and left a lasting resonance upon this viewer.
If you are a fan of such film directors as David Cronenberg, David Lynch, George Romero, Dario Argento and other enigmatic examples of 1970's cinema then I urge you to order this lost treat unearthed and beautifully restored with many extra's including a commentary track, interviews and short film by the same director all wrapped up in an evocative sleeve from rising cult label new stars Code Red DVD
Kudos to Code Red for Creepy Classic Release, 2009-11-12
I remember when this was re-released in the early '80s as DEAD PEOPLE. The ads in the newspaper alone used to scare the tar out of me. To my surprise the actual movie is a surreal, creepy mini-masterpiece with tons of moody set-ups, hot chicks (especially '70s cult fave Anitra Ford!) and three of the greatest horror scenes EVER (seriously, check out the scene in the supermarket). Thanks to Code Red for rescuing this flick from public domain hell with a brand new, enhanced-for-16:9 disc with plenty of extras. My one quibble would be that I wished a little color correction was used for the final product but this is as good as this film will probably ever look on home video. Don't throw away your old pan-and-scan DVDS though. This new version omits the ridiculously dated theme song, "Hold on to Love" (which I kind of like but totally agree that it's superfluous here) and I might be wrong, but I seem to remember a bit more gore in a few scenes. No matter Code Red's new disc is a no-brainer, must-have for fans of '70s horror.
Code Red DVD Is Great!, 2009-10-29
The 5 stars is for the new Code Red DVD that was released on October 27 not for all those PD eyesores! This movie is now available in its OAR (2.35:1) with tons of extras!!! A Must Buy!!!
