FOREVER EVIL

Wow i cant believe what i have just seen. Actually im not sure if i can make sense of what just happened. A 1987 low low budget horror movie that throws just about everything it can into the film and i was left completely stunned.  And not in a good way.  It starts with just about the worst credit sequence i have ever seen.  It doesnt suit the movie at all, and I could tell i was in for a real treat! The movie starts with a bunch of classically trained thespians giving oscar worthy performances.  Yes the acting is terrible, but as i will keep mentioning adds a bit of charm and a hell of a lot of humour.  The dubbing of the actors, is so badly matched up, especially during the opening scenes, that the laughs just keep on coming. The start i guess is a homage to evil dead though not a very good one.  Watch in horror as a twig rips someone through a window.  Im not joking its a twig. After the thrilling opening sequence, you have to sit through a lot of dialogue and a lot of the rest of the movie doesnt make a whole lot of sense.  As i said before theres a hell of a lot of things in the movie, a zombie, death himself, a devil dog, the necronomicon, boobs, blood and a whole lot of smoking.  A couple of my favourite parts of this movie.  The first involves a what the fuck moment.  The two main actors after trying to formulate a plan to take down the evil force, decide that a trip to the movies may just be the inspiration they need.  I found out later its the directors other film being shown. It still makes no sense.  The other is one of the characters wearing a college jumper.  Yes that doesnt sound anything out of the ordinary.  Except this one isnt for a specific college, it has the word college in iron on letters on the front. If you like low budget horror or are an 80s horror completist then you gotta see it.  I dont hate the movie, it is a bad movie.  But theres enough unintentional laughs along the way and just enough to keep you interested. After watching the film with commentary on, Director Roger Evans has a good sense of humour about the film. He realises its a bit of a turkey, and doesnt try to pretend its a historic piece of film making.  That made me like this film a little more.  The commentary is definately worth watching!
