Zombie(?) Film Help?!?
This has been bugging me for a very...very long time:
Looking for the title of a movie I saw on cable about 24 years ago. All I can remember (foggily) is the following: * A man (or couple) are being pursued during daylight hours by zombie-like monsters in cloaks (hooded robes). * The cloak-zombies don't move very fast, but I don't remember them hobbling around like the undead, either. * The couple seek refuge indoors (possibly in a motel room), and possibly after one of them has been injured. * As they enter the room, they place a cross in the window (possibly a large wooden crucifix, 3 feet long approx.) to repel these zombie-like, uniform, cloaked, creatures. * The cloak-zombies shrink back at the sight of the cross and avert their eyes, but I don't believe that they "run" away, exactly. They might retreat and look for another entrance. |

This sounds a little like The Omega Man(1971).But it doesn't quite fit.

I just saw "The Devil's Rain" and I don't remember if there was a repelled by crosses bit but the wacky devil worshipers were hooded. Omega Man or Last Man on Earth, maybe?
There's also Tombs of the Blind Dead and its sequels, those guys were hooded and moved slowly but did not shamble; don't remember any crucifix action in those, though, specifically.

I think the Blind Dead were repelled by crosses. I know it's not Omega Man because he mentioned a couple and a hotel. People should see Devil's Rain. Shatner, Travolta, Borgnine...it's a delightful gallery of Hollywood's greatest human muppets.

I actually thought The Devil's Rain was kinda....awesome. Definitely worth seeing once at least, widescreen and uncut. You get your money's worth of melting people at the end.

I don't recall the Blind Dead being repelled by crosses, if I remember correctly the only defense one had against the Blind Dead was silence.

I think the Blind Dead are actually really awesome too, in a lot of ways.
