It’s hard to believe at first glance that the surreal Lovecraftian horrors of Messiah of Evil are courtesy of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, who wrote both the warm nostalgia bath that is American Graffiti and the absurd comic book antics of Howard the Duck. But there are definite similarities between these films. American Graffiti and Messiah of Evil each capture a particular milieu at the end of an era, whether that’s provincial Modesto before the Beatles and Vietnam, or a beach town being overtaken by an evil cult.

Messiah of Evil focuses on Arletty (Marianna Hill), a young woman who’s come to Point Dune on the California coast looking for her famous artist father, Joseph Lang (Royal Dano). She soon makes the acquaintance of raffish Thom (Michael Greer), a nomadic...

This surreal, coastal-set tale of the undead isn't merely underrated, it's perhaps the most criminally underseen 70s horror in existence. It's an unshakably creepy exercise in moody horror. An experimental exhibition of just the right weirdness. It's your textbook "town where people are acting strange" eerie terror. Messiah Of Evil should be an inspiration to any horror filmmaker aiming to...

I've been spending the week watching the fascinating mini-series Monty Python: Almost the Truth on IFC, and if you missed it, now you can check out the DVD. While the late gay Python Graham Chapman (above) is obviously not still around to tell his side of the story, his contributions to the group are nonetheless highlighted via archival chat-show clips as well as new interviews with his longtime companion.

If you want even more Python, and didn't shell out for the gigantic box set that came out a while back, that collection's documentaries are now available separately as Monty Python: The Other British Invasion. (If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can see...
