best damn horror movie of the genre
10 November 2004 | by (las vegas) – See all my reviews

First of all, don't believe what other users are out there trying to tell you about this movie being crap.They don't know what REAL horror is all about, they believe that jason and freddy are true horror and gore,not at all.I grew up watching truly good horror like evilspeak,dr. butcher.these movies were some of the greats,where they can actually show gore and all,,not like movies now where you see a knife and the next screen shows them dead,that's not horror and it doesn't even scare kids whatsoever.anyway back to evilspeak,it has its share of gore,don't believe otherwise,the movie is a great revenge plot by a young clint howard and I'm still amazed to this day at the special efx for that period,damn great.I give it a two thumbs up.Definitely a must see for TRUE and REAL gore fans alike,not recommended for people who didn't grow up in that time.Again,still the best damn movie for its time.10 thumbs up
