I realise the film makers weren't out to create a masterpiece with 'Evil' and judging by the other reviews there appears to be a market for this film, but I personally could not stomach it.
The film looks awful; the acting is non-existent; the camera work and editing are headache inducing; the make-up, gore effects and set pieces are woeful; the soundtrack and sound editing are terrible; the plot, characterisation and humour are weak; the pacing is all over the place; and the internal logic of the film world is broken constantly. And for a runtime of around 80 minutes, it amazingly seems to drag on interminably.
There are one or two nice shots but that's the only positive I can give.
Again, I know 'Evil' is not intended to be anything more than a quick-and-dirty horror-comedy but I must be well outside the intended audience as it just did not work for me at all.
