Messiah of Evil (1973)


Messiah of Evil
is weird for many, many reasons. It's a zombie horror film made by the screenwriters of... American Graffiti?? It also stars openly gay actor Michael Greer in a very strangely butch performance. (The whole movie is, of course, quite campy, since it is a horror movie, so Greer fits right in.) But the real star of this film is the amazing art on the walls in the main setting of this film – which is an artist's studio. The art on these walls is stunning and constantly takes over in many of the film's shots. It's the best performance in the movie.
