Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Scott LeBrun An evil entity wreaks merciless havoc on a group of young people partying in an isolated house. The one survivor is Marc (Red Mitchell), who soon hooks up with Reggie (Tracey Huffman), who similarly survived a massacre. They also partner with a weary old police detective named Leo (Charles L. Trotter), and work the clues behind this mysterious antagonist and its ties to a real estate agent named Nash (Howard Jacobsen).This viewer wanted to seek this one out after seeing some clips that looked entertaining. Alas, the clips are the all too brief highlights in a protracted experience that goes on much longer than any cheese-horror movie should. It runs an hour and 50 minutes, and the director's cut actually runs even longer than that at approximately two hours! It would seem that the filmmakers, including screenwriter Freeman Williams and director Roger Evans, were somewhat ambitious and wanted to make this a little bit more than the average regional B horror movie. But it's just too long and boring.It's not without its charms. It's got a very loopy plot involving a god character named Yog Kathog and pulsing quasars. (Then again, the movie does tend to get bogged down in plot.) The effects are quite delicious, with some priceless visuals and some nice bargain basement gore. The acting may not be slick or terribly competent, but it IS entertaining. Jacobsen is a particular hoot as the bad guy. His final confrontation with Huffman is fun. But the balance of the movie never measures up to its opening.It does have a sad postscript: star Mitchell seemed to be on the cusp of stardom, having gone on to act with Luke Perry in the rodeo drama "Eight Seconds", when he died in a car / train accident at the age of 33.Four out of 10.

ctomvelu1 Grand cheese fest from the late 1980s, FOREVER EVIL draws on Lovecraft and EVIL DEAD to tell the story of two survivors of separate mass killings who go on a hunt for the demonic killer. Shot in Texas with a community theater-type cast, it is perfect for late night TV viewing. The special effects are sparse, and the villain (although ultimately just a henchman and not the master killer) is a rotting zombie right out of Return of the Living Dead. Clumsily executed, badly written and atrociously acted, it may not be up there with such grand 80s fare as Night of the Demons, but it should appeal to cheese lovers and insomniacs everywhere. A huge stretch of the film goes by with little or nothing happening, so beware. And where there might have been a decent bedroom scene near the finish is sadly cut short.

actor-19 I like this movie, meaning the "Restored Director's Cut" that is available on DVD. The home video version that was released on VHS (and is also on the DVD) begins with a scene involving a fortune teller, an encounter with a supernatural being, and a murder. In the director's cut this scene is 38 minutes into the movie. I suppose the distributors thought the movie needed a "hook" and moved this scene to the beginning for that reason. Unfortunately the result is 45 minutes of film where nothing really exciting happens, ruining the pacing and giving the film something of a bad rap. The Director's Cut is definitely the version to watch. The home video version also completely deletes some other scenes for no apparent reason.Admittedly there are better movies out there, but there are also worse ones. The script definitely needed one more re-write. But if you can get past the fact that there are no big names attached to this film and none of the cast or crew are ever going to be Oscar contenders, it's entertaining.By the way, in my humble opinion, the demon birth scene alone makes this film worthy of some kind of cult following.

HumanoidOfFlesh The box of this film proudly claims "WARNING:Not for the squeamish!Explicit violence and gore.Don't see it alone!".I think that it should be "Don't see it alone,because it is so incredibly awful!".Everything here:the acting,direction,and production design look straight out of a gradeschool play.There's bad music,bad effects and some of the most moronic dialogue I have ever heard.Lots of cheesy gore(especially the birth scene-I'm sure that this is a doll!)to satisfy the most undemanding gore-freaks.The first thirty minutes is a total rip-off of "The Evil Dead"(1982).Avoid this one like the plague-it's really an utter trash!
