Forever Evil

LOL! Man, I recently bought this movie, because I saw some old promos for USA's Saturday Nightmares, and this movie was in one of the intros. I vaguely remembered it, and after viewing it again I can see why.

While the movie itself, is forgettable, the effects and acting are hilarious. It's one of those, great, cheesy ass horror films from the middle, to late 1980's that is, unintenionally funny. Forever Evil, is like a cheap, rip off of "The Evil Dead", with horrible effects.

I'd only suggest this film to those who, truly enjoy a cheesy horror films from the 1980's. Younger viewers and people looking for a good horror film, don't waste your time, but if you love awesomely bad 'B' horror films from the 1980's this is right up your alley

This movie has bad everything. Bad acting(by actors I have never seen before),laughable special effects,awful writing.The only thing good I can say is that it was consistent.Bad! So why did I get into the story so much? Why do I keep renting it? Go figure...

Rating 2** out of five

A Bad movie can be really bad with not so great actors and actresses and it's director. Well Forever Evil is very bad. It rip-off's the plot and location shooting for Evil Dead and has actors I have never seen before. Except for Red Mitchell who was later in a few other films before he was killed in a Train Crash. The director sinks into carnage to even bring up any scares and the photography is also bad. The only thing I enjoyed about Forever Evil was it's 'Scary' effects which are interesting but other than that that a hike and find another monster movie.

My dear Aunt Lucille, may she rest in peace, always told me that if I don't have something nice to say, then I'd best say nothing at all. With those wise words in mind, I will retain a humble silence while you enter your neighborhood movie rental store and approach the counter with this pissant excuse for a supernatural horror film.

That's right. I'm not going to say a single word while you shake your head in disbelief as a girl gets dragged into the night by A SINGLE FLIMSY STICK. Nope. I'll hold my tongue throughout the scenes of a rubber-mask-zombie wreaking very minor havoc upon characters you wish would die in pain and fear.

I'll politely refrain from commenting on how the folks who made this seem to have read someplace that THE EVIL DEAD was a virtual no-budget project, and, being aware of the considerable buzz which that film generated, decided to utilize a 3-day weekend to concoct this pallid "homage". And when the "surprise ending" comes around, don't expect my opinion to be forthcoming...I'll just sit quietly and listen as you hurl expletives at the video box.

2.5/10. But I'm not saying a damn thing.

Three couples head to a cabin for the weekend to bid the place farewell before Marc (Red Mitchell) sells it. What they don't know is that a pulsing stellar Quasar is happening when they get there and it unleashes some monsters that kill everyone except Marc. Still with me? Marc then teams up with Reggie (Tracey Huffman), a female survivor of a similar incident, and Leo (Charles Trotter), a cop who has seen this before, to figure out what is going on. Together, the trio finds out that an immortal being on Earth has been planning these attacks for over a century in an effort to bring back evil god Yog Kothag (someone has been reading Lovecraft) to end humanity as we know it. This Texas-produced flick falls into the same category for me as late 80s flicks like THE VIDEO DEAD, DEMON WIND, THE DEAD PIT and DEMONWARP. It might be a bit budget starved, but you can appreciate the amount of effort and imagination that went into making it. The first time I saw this back in 1990 or so, I was surprised how they pulled a PSYCHO on me and offed everyone about 20 minutes in and took it from there. Mitchell, looking like a cross between Jack Black and Jason Alexander, is an interesting choice for a lead and he is alright I guess. If you are looking for a few laughs, see the scene where Reggie declares her love to him. While the flick is overlong at 107 minutes, it has enough weirdness (demon babies, random zombies, a cute looking demon dog) for me to recommend seeing it at least once.
