I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Memorable, crazy movie
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
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.
I once though that there was nothing worse in a film than bad acting. This film convinces me that bad special effects are worse than bad acting any day. I recently had the pleasure of working with Jim Eikner, the guy who did the SFX in this movie. He was to be the SFX artist, and I was to be the "straight" makeup artist. Basically, he was 2 or more hours late to set every day, and he never had any of the guts or head wounds prepared ahead of time. Everything in his "kit" could have been bought at any cheesy Halloween shop and most of his supplies were from 1989. Long story short: he did a crap job and held up the whole production b/c it took him ages to produce sub-standard stuff then halfway through the filming, once the production company cut him his check, he never showed up for work again. I ended up getting paid 1/3 of what Eikner got paid for me to do his job. If the director would have watched this film and saw the worst in bad special effects, he would never have hired that no-talent, scam-artist hack.
This movie is a work of genius. The effects were amazingly real while the storyline was utterly riveting. The collective acting of the ensemble cast is mind-blowing. Especially the guy in the "College" T-shirt. He could've easily taken the Oscar for best supporting actor for the role. The sets are simple picturesque while the locations are simply the best. I loved the part where the dead baby crawled, so full of spunk and vigor, from his dead mother's womb. This was heart wrenching and breath-taking at the same time. I mean who would've thought such evil existed in wild, small-town USA. It's an amazing picture which had tremendous potential and the only real reason, in my humble opinion resulted from poor distribution and atrocious advertising. Like so many other films, it's inevitable flub at the box office was a direct consequence of the producers misappropriation of selected funds along with terrible promotional tactics. All in all, a great film that is sure to delight again, and again, and again.
Rating 2** out of fiveA 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.
