“Messiah of Evil” (1973) – Oddball Orgy
The 1970's had its share of weird movies that featured very bizarre characters and groups, "Lemora" (1973, also!) immediately comes to mind. This feature details a seaside community where a diabolical cult of some sort is in operation. Are these conservatively dressed people zombies, vampires, demonically possessed drones? It seems the latter. An old tale is recounted in flashback about the community where an evil preacher begins to spread his evil presence felt. The town's weirdness continues to the present and we see a malevolent mob tracking down innocent victims and then devouring them.
Very interesting visual style is applied to this tale and there are some truly crazy stunts and camera shots.
I would say to check it out but it can be a bit disturbing at times.
