The Evil Down the Street (2019) User Reviews

Simple possession

[richandjohn · 3/10 · 22 June 2019]

This has to be the most boring possession ever and the exorcism was over in like 2 mins and hey presto happy families again. So bad

Slow just slow

[bobzombie-02061 · 3/10 · 20 May 2019]

If you ignore the shakey camera work, stiff acting with lines that are read with no feeling and the long almost uncomfortable silences during scenes where it's like the actors are trying to remember who's turn it is then your left with a dull film that can't even produce a basic scare or jump scene and as this is ment to be a film about a house possessed by a demon the maybe a scare or two would help Give this film a miss if you value your time

Tired, tired, tired!

[deager · 3/10 · 23 July 2019]

Seen it a 100 times, 100 times better. The lead actress and I use that term only because I must, can't...act. The lead actor, isn't bad at all. Everyone tries hard to make a low budget horror, demon-possession, exorcism, terror movie as good as can be. I can' Imagine a budget more than a few $100,000. But for me the acting from the lead actress was just so poor it distracted from the whole thing. Go else where for your scares, you can do better. My 3 stars are for the attempt to try to something with nothing.

Stop with the fake reviews!

[jhr2012 · 1/10 · 14 February 2021]

This is so frustrating! This movie is awful; truly awful. The story was silly and the acting was atrocious. People who rate this garbage any higher than a 1 should be ashamed.

Horror movie? This a joke, right?

[ads-56662 · 1/10 · 16 May 2019]

This movie is so bad, I do not know where to start. Story is terrible, acting is even worse. The scenes last some 30 secondes, then cut, then next scene start and so on. Nothing happens. Total waist of time. There is a plenty of fake reviews, I gave this movie a chance and that was a mistake. Do not make the same mistake as I didi. Do something else, anything else for 90 minutes.

Bad acting

[edlc1970 · 1/10 · 28 September 2019]

This film is just overall boring. And the acting is something you will see in a b movie. Or maybe less. A junior grade school acting in a play, could do better.

Where?!?

[reb2014 · 1/10 · 20 May 2019]

The evil MUST be down the street because there ain't nothin' happening here!

I kept waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And still nothing. I hate to say, but all these positive reviews must be fake.

Luckily, I didn't pay a dime to see this. The thing I'm out is the time I spent watching this.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna head elsewhere down the street to look for some good evil.

Good evil? Is that an oxymoron?

These rave reviews are obviously fake

[mikedegroot · 2/10 · 11 May 2019]

What the reviews here calling this movie an "indie film" mean is that it is an ultra low-budget, super cheesy horror movie. The acting is bad, the plot is played out, and the sound design is noticeably atrocious. By far the worse part about it is the "scares and effects". They consist of people's voices changing, door shutting on their own, bad jump-scares, and cheesy makeup.

If you feel like being really bored for an hour and a half or you just can't fall asleep, I would recommend it. Everybody else should avoid this train-wreck like the plague. Any review rating this movie higher than a 2 is fake. It's not that this isn't my kind of movie, it's that this is obviously a very badly made film. PS: who doesn't like potatoes?

Yikes

[Stephanie-Hurst · 2/10 · 30 June 2020]

Slow. Very slow. Really bad acting. Dumber for having watched this.

I had to turn it off

[scottparmour · 1/10 · 10 May 2019]

I've left better things in the toilet bowl in the morning!

Load of what I left in the bog and didn't want to waste the water, hey let's offset our carbon footprint

Toodley doo

Spoiler alert, pile of dung

Great watch!

[vinajane-327-201905 · 9/10 · 28 August 2020]

The characters are very well developed with a strong plot. I really enjoy watching a great creepy movie like this!

Suspenseful

[diannezankich · 7/10 · 29 August 2020]

Loved the story and the cinema photrography....just creepy enough.

We could only stand it for 23 mins

[saphira_dragon-80270 · 2/10 · 1 August 2019]

We read the reviews and got excited, but then we had to stop 23 mins in. The movie was bad, and we regularly watch horrors most would consider bad. Terrible acting. It's as if we went and got a camera and made this movie. Please avoid

Couldn't look away

[mwgade · 1/10 · 23 July 2019]

Talk about a train wreck of pure acting carnage. The horror wasn't the evil down the street it was the story line. No way this deserves a 1 star.

Rubbish

[pooleroad · 1/10 · 1 August 2019]

Bloody utter b rated rubbish..acting was awful. Who ever told those people they could act.. they need to go back to drama school. I wouldnt say it was a horror movie at all. Dreadful.

reviews.

[mickrowley · 1/10 · 6 August 2019]

I specifically created an account to review this awful film.

The acting was really bad, especially from the mother and father characters. There wasn't one scary moment and believe me I waited and waited and waited...

The ending was the worst I've ever seen, the priest commands the demon to leave and it does without any kind of fight! Then he hugs the female host and they all live happily ever after, or do they...?

The final scene leaves it open for a sequel, please please please don't do it, I beg you noooooooo!!!!!!

That's 97 minutes I'll never get back!!!

Whaaaaat?

[pinksparkles-1 · 1/10 · 9 May 2019]

It's bad. Best I can say is it only lasts 1hr 30 mins!

As bad as it gets

[RandomTard · 1/10 · 12 November 2019]

This movie is ridiculously bad. There is nothing good in it. It's beyond boring and just goes on and on and on until you just wanna cry for the time you wasted watching this terrible mess.

The soundman must of been drunk and deaf - volume changes from inaudible to loud as hell mid sentence without any reason. Acting is seriously propably the worst I've ever seen, these are really horribad amateurs.

And yeah, this is definitely not a horrormovie or a thriller or anything like that. More like some weird failed experiment on making the worst movie ever.

Best acting ever! Not!

[leavittfam-10852 · 2/10 · 28 July 2019]

It could've been great but holy cow was the acting terrible. No one in the movie could embody the emotion. It sounds like a scripted reality show. Didn't make sense. It said evil down the street but where??? Total fail here and I love my scary movies.

Spooky Indie

[MRP-Ent · 24 May 2019]

Stumbled onto this because an actor in it had directed another indie I enjoyed and when I saw it was inspired by actual events, I had to give it a watch. I wasn't expecting big special effects and such that you see in big budget films, and I'm glad they didn't attempt that stuff. The filmmakers built the tension nicely throughout and the performances added to it. It's easy for "overacting" in one of these paranormal horror indies, but the director and cast really kept things in check and at the same time didn't try to go too over the top with the drama. Good scares and the story played out well. Definitely check it out!

New headline: The Potato Haunting

[windsofchapelx · 1/10 · 15 June 2019]

This was absolutely horrible. No acting skills at all. Overall cringe. The plot is so messy you literally say wtf the entire movie. Invites a priest over. Watches wife as said priest blesses food out of his own suspicioun. But- "you think my wife is ACTUALLY possessed by a demon?! How dare u!!!1" WHY DID YOU CALL HIM TO BEGIN WITH. I kept it on to actually see how they ended this mess.

Creepy but a good creepy

[dedematz · 8/10 · 13 June 2019]

If you like a bit creepy, scary and left guessing, great movie to watch!

A good independent slow burn thriller

[jabreece-81615 · 7/10 · 8 June 2019]

I had heard about this movie from the cult classic horror podcast. So I gave it a try. There are many independent paranormal thrillers out there. I enjoyed the foreshadowing from the neighbors visiting on day one of the family moving in to their new house. Based at least loosely on an actual family's experience the occult tie in with a ouija board and people's natural curiosity makes this a believable story line. Does playing with the occult let the devil in or are they just going a little crazy? Get some popcorn sit back for a slow burn but worthwhile movie. A believable family descends into chaos stay to find out if it works out for them.

Is this real?

[jordancable · 1/10 · 9 June 2019]

Legit the worst film I have ever seen in my life.... I have created an account on IMDB specifically to say how tragically awful this film is. Do not watch!!!

Yawn

[jtboldt · 1/10 · 14 June 2019]

Literally adult film actors/actresses act better than anyone in the cast
