MESSIAH OF EVIL Film Screening – Newly Restored! Co-Presented by One F***ing Hour! The Philosophical Research Society and One F***ing Hour proudly co-present one of the greatest underseen horror films of the 20th century – MESSIAH OF EVIL! "Long trapped in public domain transfers and trashed release prints (but) now made fully available to cinemas by AGFA and Radiance Films...MESSIAH’s now fully restored and delivers a supremely haunted punch." (AGFA)To refer to MESSIAH OF EVIL as simply a horror film is nothing short of blasphemy. Borne of a talented group of arthouse auteurs, working in the "genre" genre by necessity (think Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdonavich's grindhousey beginnings with DEMENTIA 13 and TARGETS, respectively), the visually sumptuous, eerily atmospheric, and dread inducing cult classic plays like a proto-Lynchian NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD – if it were directed by Antonioni."Filmed by writing duo Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz right before their breakout success penning AMERICAN GRAFFITI, it’s about the unsettling relationship between a girl, her mysterious painter father and a Northern California town full of bloodthirsty, catatonic everyday people. Echoing CARNIVAL OF SOULS, Bava...and Godard, this spaced-out mood piece features some of the most standout zombie attacks ever filmed, as well as an appearance by ‘70s queer film icon Michael Greer." (AGFA)For this very special screening, Messiah-heads and Wāg-ner fans (...you'll get it) ONE F***ING HOUR will deliver a deep-dive intro to one of their favorite films. A video podcast in which hosts Evan Husney, Tom Fitzgerald, and Marcus Herring (the latter two also comprise 2/3s of PRS monthly residents EXP TV) have just one hour to deep dive on all their favorite details that make a film work or not, OFH have already devoted a fantastic episode to MESSIAH, which you can watch below!Join us to discover – or rediscover, in this gorgeous restoration – this unforgettable, under-your-skin masterpiece!
