Naked Evil

NAKED EVIL is one of the most obscure British horror films out there, and due to the Jamaican angle it seems to be much better known in America than it is here. It's a pity, as it has much in interest and common with other black magic-themed horrors of the era, particlarly NIGHT OF THE EAGLE. The story is about rival Jamaicans battling on the streets of London. Some are studious academics, while others are low lives, and the voodoo angle comes in with the introduction of creepy 'obis', graveyard bottles that contain evil spirits. Before long, poltergeist-style activity is decimating the cast. This is filmed in a lean, documentary style and the scare scenes are effectively staged, although the pacing is glacial at times.
