Quotes:
[C.J. comes face-to-face with the Devil sitting on a throne in a white-colored limbo plane of existence]
Devil:[chuckles] Forgive me, but you are an endless source of amusement to me.
C.J. Arnold:What is it that you want?
Devil:There... you see what I mean? After all I put you through and you still don't know.
C.J. Arnold:You did all that?
Devil:No, Mr. Arnold. YOU did. You denied the warnings, you opened the door, and still you couldn't accept what you've done. You pondered the deeper meaning of a universal power for good. Self made.
C.J. Arnold:What is it that you want from me?

"The Evil" is a fun 70's horror movie. Low budget, cool location, some attractive and familiar cast members, the comforting presence of Richard Crenna, a fabulous troll-like Buono cameo...all add up to a demonic good time if you're in the mood for it. And check out those slacks on Andrew Prine--are those Angel's Flight pants you're wearing?? (Anybody remember those disco-era items?)
