Enjoyable low budget 80s horror/weirdness, 21 October 2009

Three couples head to a cabin for the weekend to bid the place farewell before Marc (Red Mitchell) sells it. What they don't know is that a pulsing stellar Quasar is happening when they get there and it unleashes some monsters that kill everyone except Marc. Still with me? Marc then teams up with Reggie (Tracey Huffman), a female survivor of a similar incident, and Leo (Charles Trotter), a cop who has seen this before, to figure out what is going on. Together, the trio finds out that an immortal being on Earth has been planning these attacks for over a century in an effort to bring back evil god Yog Kothag (someone has been reading Lovecraft) to end humanity as we know it. This Texas-produced flick falls into the same category for me as late 80s flicks like THE VIDEO DEAD, DEMON WIND, THE DEAD PIT and DEMONWARP. It might be a bit budget starved, but you can appreciate the amount of effort and imagination that went into making it. The first time I saw this back in 1990 or so, I was surprised how they pulled a PSYCHO on me and offed everyone about 20 minutes in and took it from there. Mitchell, looking like a cross between Jack Black and Jason Alexander, is an interesting choice for a lead and he is alright I guess. If you are looking for a few laughs, see the scene where Reggie declares her love to him. While the flick is overlong at 107 minutes, it has enough weirdness (demon babies, random zombies, a cute looking demon dog) for me to recommend seeing it at least once.

Freeman Williams and cast were all part of the Texas Renaissance
Festival many years ago (I was a wench), and Freeman told me late one
night after too much mead about his desire to film this movie - a
remake, no less, of another really cheesy horror film - and... oh, boy!
I loved it! But then... I know the inside jokes... and I just about wet
my pants laughing each time another schlock death occurred...
This is a popcorn film, folks, don't take it seriously, take it for
what it was written for - Freeman wanted it to appear on USA latenight
with - gad, what was her name, the vampy looking woman with the wild
black wig? Elvira? And that's really where it belonged! This was great!

oh boy...this is horror beyond terrible.., 17 November 2005

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.

Cheesy as Hell!, 18 November 2008

LOL! Man, I recently bought this movie, because I saw some old promos
for USA's Saturday Nightmares, and this movie was in one of the intros.
I vaguely remembered it, and after viewing it again I can see why.
While the movie itself, is forgettable, the effects and acting are
hilarious. It's one of those, great, cheesy ass horror films from the
middle, to late 1980's that is, unintenionally funny. Forever Evil, is
like a cheap, rip off of "The Evil Dead", with horrible effects.
I'd only suggest this film to those who, truly enjoy a cheesy horror
films from the 1980's. Younger viewers and people looking for a good
horror film, don't waste your time, but if you love awesomely bad 'B'
horror films from the 1980's this is right up your alley

Good of a kind., 25 August 2005

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I like this movie, meaning the "Restored Director's Cut" that is
available on DVD. The home video version that was released on VHS (and
is also on the DVD) begins with a scene involving a fortune teller, an
encounter with a supernatural being, and a murder. In the director's
cut this scene is 38 minutes into the movie. I suppose the distributors
thought the movie needed a "hook" and moved this scene to the beginning
for that reason. Unfortunately the result is 45 minutes of film where
nothing really exciting happens, ruining the pacing and giving the film
something of a bad rap. The Director's Cut is definitely the version to
watch. The home video version also completely deletes some other scenes
for no apparent reason.
Admittedly there are better movies out there, but there are also worse
ones. The script definitely needed one more re-write. But if you can
get past the fact that there are no big names attached to this film and
none of the cast or crew are ever going to be Oscar contenders, it's
entertaining.
By the way, in my humble opinion, the demon birth scene alone makes
this film worthy of some kind of cult following.

What a cheesy garbage!, 29 January 2002

HumanoidOfFlesh from Chyby, Poland
The box of this film proudly claims "WARNING:Not for the squeamish!Explicit violence and gore.Don't see it alone!".I think that it should be "Don't see it alone,because it is so incredibly awful!".Everything here:the acting,direction,and production design look straight out of a gradeschool play.There's bad music,bad effects and some of the most moronic dialogue I have ever heard.Lots of cheesy gore(especially the birth scene-I'm sure that this is a doll!)to satisfy the most undemanding gore-freaks.The first thirty minutes is a total rip-off of "The Evil Dead"(1982).Avoid this one like the plague-it's really an utter trash!

Not a word...not one single word..., 16 October 2008
Author:
nostrilingus from fabulous Las Vega$!
My dear Aunt Lucille, may she rest in peace, always told me that if I
don't have something nice to say, then I'd best say nothing at all.
With those wise words in mind, I will retain a humble silence while you
enter your neighborhood movie rental store and approach the counter
with this pissant excuse for a supernatural horror film.
That's right. I'm not going to say a single word while you shake your
head in disbelief as a girl gets dragged into the night by A SINGLE
FLIMSY STICK. Nope. I'll hold my tongue throughout the scenes of a
rubber-mask-zombie wreaking very minor havoc upon characters you wish
would die in pain and fear.
I'll politely refrain from commenting on how the folks who made this
seem to have read someplace that THE EVIL DEAD was a virtual no-budget
project, and, being aware of the considerable buzz which that film
generated, decided to utilize a 3-day weekend to concoct this pallid
"homage". And when the "surprise ending" comes around, don't expect my
opinion to be forthcoming...I'll just sit quietly and listen as you
hurl expletives at the video box.
2.5/10. But I'm not saying a damn thing.

Average Drinking Movie, 8 December 2005

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
A group of yuppies head out to a summer house. An evil presence attacks and kills them all, minus one guy who wakes up later in a hospital. He teams up with a detective and a female survivor of another similar massacre to stop the evil menace. Ambitious, but horribly acted time-waster (especially at nearly 2 hours long) thats loaded with really cheesy special effects and Hallowen masks that are sometimes funny. The story itself tries to be somewhat original and does move at a tight pace so not all is lost. Good movie to view with beer. B movie horror fans shouldn't mind this. Features a fetus torn out of a belly, plenty of POV shots, and a "let's just end this thing now" ending. Two And A Half Stars.

This movie is one of the funnest movies I have watched!, 27 March 2001

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie has horrible acting, but is so much fun to watch. The monster scenes where it is watching the characters from a spot where it should obviously be seen, the devil dog that serves absolutely no purpose to plot development, and the abandoned highway where the guy gets hit by a truck that he obviously should have heard coming are just a few of the fun and inane things to watch for. I would highly suggest this movie to anyone who wants a good movie to laugh and drink to.
