User Reviews

Hilarious mix of violence, odd romance and perfect comedy

"On Evil Grounds" is very special: It shows that you need not many ingredients to make a great movie: - take takes a greasy-crazy real-estate broker - take a strange young couple - take a maniac - make them all completely odd but lovable characters - make them all fetishists of violence - put them in an absurdly violent situation - add s..x - add blood - add gallon of fun, and - important! - - stir them all until they go nuts one certain afternoon...

And you get a visually compelling and must-see "Tour De Force" through comedy, slapstick and unnecessary violence <:)))

Of course there's everything else to make "On Evil Grounds" a full meal, like the "funny wannabe-cool cops" sides (austrian!!), a messed-up

but rotten-aesthetic setting to garnish the dish, and of course a bucket - wait, what do you need a bucket for? Oh, yeah, for the head *under* the bucket! ;)
