Evilspeak Review

-

Starring: Clint Howard, Don Stark, R.G. Armstrong, Richard Moll, Haywood Nelson, Joe Cortese

Director: Eric Weston


Stanley Coopersmith, a military student who is mercilessly bullied by his fellow classmates, teachers and even the priest. While he is working on the school computer, he finds a Satanic book that was written centuries ago by known Satanist Father Esteban, whose coffin is in the basement of the school's chapel. As the book is being translated in the computer, Father Esteban takes control and convinces Stanley to take revenge in a black magic ritual.

When his classmates go too far, Stanley seeks the ultimate revenge in a climax you have to see to believe.

Character actor Clint Howard (Ron Howard's little brother) plays the bullied Stanley Coopersmith and he was so incredible. I've been a fan of Clint's for years, but never really saw one of his earlier roles, as this movie was made in 1981. 

I had avoided it for some time because way back when, I wasn't into the Satanic scene. Never was interested at all. However, I've been really getting into the video nasties and decided to finally seek this flick out, as I bought the Blu-ray. I am so glad I made that decision because Evilspeak kicks fucking ass.

Now, let me say that it is a bit slow as to get to know the characters and see the pain that everyone puts on Stanley, but the outcome in the end is well worth the wait.

When Father Esteban, portrayed by Richard Moll, possess Stanley, that gave me the chills and no other movie ever did that to me at all. 

There is one scene I want to talk about though, the school secretary gets devoured by some wild boars from hell, while she is taking a shower. The scene is great, but I was hoping that it would've been a lot gorier, but alas, it wasn't. That was the only disappoint in the entire movie though.

Evilspeak has quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time andf I highly recommend it.

X Review

  Cast: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Kid Cudi, Stephen Ure, Owen Campbell  Director: Ti West  A film crew rents a guest house from an elderly couple to make an adult film.  As the night goes on and tensions rise, they are killed off one by one in really gruesome fashion by someone that is observing what kind of filth they are making. First of all, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the films that A24 comes out with. For the most part, they are completely boring and uninteresting to me.   I am the type of person that can't get into films that are known as "slow burns" because I have a tendency to fall asleep. However, X is a much different kind of horror film. Sure, it's still slow-paced, but the storyline is very interesting that you actually don't even realize how long it's taking for the first murder begins and one that happens, you are in for a wild ride. X is set in the rural backwoods of Texas in the 70's and that made ...

Halloween Kills Trailer Review

 Late last week someone had leaked out the trailer for HALLOWEEN KILLS. I didn't have any idea, so I never watched the poor quality that was floating around. The trailer was due to be dropped this week, so what was the studio going to do about this?  Well, you guessed it, they released the official HALLOWEEN KILLS trailer within hours of the leak and that means Halloween came early for us hardcore fans. We all had to wait a year for this movie to finally come out since theaters were closed due to the COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Now that things are getting back to normal and theaters are opening up again, we are finally back on track with movie releases.  So with that said, will HALLOWEEN KILLS live up to expectations? I watched the trailer and let me just say....YES!  I had heard early on that this new Halloween film will be the most brutal and bloody of all the Halloween films and that is including the Rob Zombie movies and that is saying something there. The ...

Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Anthony Michael Hall. Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney  Director: David Gordon Green  After the events of HALLOWEEN 2018, Laurie, Karen and Allyson have escaped the wrath of Michael Myers with Michael trapped in the burning basement of Laurie's compound. However, evil never dies as Michael escapes from the burning building and is more pissed then ever as he goes on the most brutal and bloodiest killing spree to date (forget the RZ versions please). I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of HALLOWEEN KILLS ever since it was first announced for 2020. And then the unthinkable happened, COVID hit and the movie was pushed to 2021.  I was really worried that the movie was going to be pushed again, but I am so thankful that it didn't occur and HALLOWEEN KILLS has finally been released worldwide. Now, let me get into my thoughts on what was my most anticipated movie of the year. Holy shit, HALLOWEEN KILLS was what I was exp...
