FOREVER EVIL
Gotta love them warning labels
I've got a soft spot for any film snotty enough to include a warning label on its poster/box trying to "warn us away" (yeah, right) with inflated claims regarding how frightening or gory it is. This one says "WARNING: Not for the squeamish! Explicit violence and gore. Don't see it alone." Yeah, there's one or two good gore scenes, but that's about it.
This is a neat one, kinda - scores pretty much zero in the character/dialogue/fright department, but the plot's kind of neat, and that's why I'm reluctant to get too much into it, if you're interested in seeing it. See, once it started up, I rolled my eyes and said "Oh boy, it's Forever Evil Dead", because we had six people in a backwoods cabin and nasty demon shit started happening. I expected the movie to be about the six of them fighting for their lives for the remainder of the movie. Well, happily, I was wrong, and it went off on a different tack. We're given a pretty interesting look into just what happened at that cabin, although most of it is ultimately kept pretty vague.
Not all of the plot is really that great - for example, there's one part where that and similar massacres are plotted on a map to see if there's any pattern, and...guess what. Come on, guess. (yeah, it IS what you think it is) And the bad guy in this movie, "Yog Kothag" (c'mon guys, just admit that you can't spell or pronounce "Sothoth"), is kind of silly, alternating form between a robed, faceless entity and the sweetest-looking pooch you ever did see. And his sole apparent minion is a zombie. Not a whole bunch of zombies, just one.
It was not knowing about the plot in advance that let me enjoy this one - I probably wouldn't have gotten nearly the kick out of it that I did if I'd, say, read the back of the box. Features one woman who's a lot cuter dead than alive.
