Evil Behind You

Four couples wake up in a room with the men chained to beds and the women trying to help them. They are being used in an experiment with a mind altering bacteria that has deadly results.

This thing is at a whole new level of bad. It felt like I was watching a grade 8 play. The acting was even more incredibly bad. For an hour and a half we have to listen to the guys give us a play by play of what these creatures are doing that nobody can see but them.

Then I realize what's going on. This is a Christian film. They quickly slap a lame scenario together just to show us that demons won't pull you into hell when you die if you're a Christian. So that explains the acting because you know a guy got his friends from the church to be in his film no previous experience required.

When the movie first started I thought cheesy. The first ten minutes were really boring. After the slow beginning and some of the soap opera antics, I started liking it. The plot was different than anything I had ever seen. Now, was it a horror? Not really. It shouldn't have been classied as a horror or the producers should have put more money into the movie to make it scary. As it was, the creatures where only there for a short time. I can only assume this was for money reason.

The good side was that the movie was very entertaining. It held my interest (after the start) and did make me wonder about creatures from another dimension.

It was obvious that this was a first time movie for the director, but there were a couple of highlights. By the end, I was hooked. Too bad Hollywood didn't put more money behind this.

I would have given this LESS than a 1 rating if it were possible. The entire film should have been left on the cutting-room floor. What a pathetic waste of time, money and effort! Let's see...assemble the prettiest cast you can find (which of course is in direct proportion to the amount of talent they lack)...throw together the thinnest plot you can dig up...and viola! An abominable piece of trash that the director and/or producer should be ashamed to put their name on. How much WORSE can the horror genre get? And don't use "low budget" as an excuse...I have seen many GREAT low-budget films....in fact some of the best horror classics of all time were low-budget. If you don't have the talent and ingenuity to make a GOOD horror film, then for God's sake don't make one at all!!!

Do not waste your money or time. Terrible movie. Bad acting, plot all over the place. Really, really bad acting. Man, this movie is just plain bad. I shut it off at 7 minutes. The script is bad, the directing is bad, it seems to me that a high school group got together to do a project for their drama class. Yes, it's that bad. The acting is not convincing at all, mind you I saw only 7 minutes of it. How this movie made it to DVD, is beyond me.

It should have been left in the editing storage room. I saw the cover and thought it was pretty cool, I sure's heck won't do that next time :_)

All those who are into being PC are aghast at the dogmatic Christian view of this film, claiming it contains racist ideation and/or religious intolerance.

Those who don't care about being PC, but are oriented towards slick production values and competent acting are dismayed at the lack of such here.

Those who decry this film for both of these points are apoplectic that this production was let loose on the general public, as evidenced in comments here.

What is an interesting premise, which isn't original, but is a combination of GHOST and FROM BEYOND, is dealt with in a rather immature manner, yet done with gusto. What the crew and actors lacked in sensibility, professional abilities and technical expertise is somewhat offset by the effort displayed.

It isn't nearly as bad as many here think, and would have been fine in the hands of someone with maturity and common sense, though it is enough below mediocrity to elicit laughs and groans. However, it unfolds with enough intensity to keep interest throughout, and is close to on par with a Corman-produced entry of his earliest period of work, or the material of Arkoff or Sam Katzman. If you get it for $2 (or less) as did I, you won't feel disappointed, but will wish you could have had a say in how it was made.
