Review of Evilenko (2004) by Brian C — 20 Jun 2009
Amazing thriller, right from the very start. Gave me chills, and did even more so when I knew it was based on a true story (well, based on a book which was based on the true story?) Some parts were very disturbing and hard to watch, but that made it all the more intense.
Malcolm McDowell was incredible, indescribable even. I'm completely speechless at his performance, alike his others, as he is able to act out his roles so perfectly, that I have a hard time believing he is only acting and not the real person.
I actually rewound the beginning scene a few times, where he is telling the story to the little girl, as I was completely taken aback at how intensely and emotionally he told the story. It also really set the tone for the rest of the movie.
Some of the scenes were a bit ridiculous, and apart from McDowell, most of the acting was pretty horrible. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this movie.
