I checked out Messiah of Evil after reading its praises in the comment section on this very blog and I fell in love with it, ain't that somethin'. So if you haven't seen it yet, consider this my recommendation that you get it in your face anon.
Doesn't Tourist Trap seem more like a 1982 film than a 1979 film? It does to me. And now you know how I feel about that, so have a great weekend!

I recently watched "Tourist Trap" for the first time. It was the Rifftrax'd version and the only time that I wished to watch a movie without their commentary (or at least see it prior to their take on it). I too was surprised that the film was from the late seventies. Great, underappreciated movie. And it rated PG at the time of release...ah, those were the days.
I know ratings were different back then but PG?? Wow. I wonder how many kids had nightmares from it!
The fact that Chuck Connors is the killer in Tourist Trap still seems so incongruous to me, though he did a great job playing a real weirdo.
Check out Chuck Conners in THE MAD BOMBER. He's completely off the chain in that one.
