Review of The Evictors (1979) by Matt S — 17 Nov 2010
An spooky little supernatural/horror tale that relies more on suspense and atmosphere than gore and over the top scares and that has one of the creepiest house ever with a brooding killer that lurks outside the property.
The acting was pretty good for a not well known horror movie and there were some scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat but most of it was very slow paced and takes alot of patience and low expectations to appreciate it.
The thing that pulls it all together is its startling story that just kept me intrigued for the most part. Overall it was simple, moody, suspenseful, atmospheric and chilling and for a movie that came out during The Amityville Horror craze its pretty solid just watch it with an open mind, low expectations and alot of patience because its a slow build up and doesnt have alot of action but its watchable for a rainy night.
This one though begs for a rated R remake! Check it out. more of a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
