Fear No Evil

Though the horror genre is sated with maniacs on the menace, Fear No Evil stands out. Spooky and surreal, the ultimately hopeful film has its basis in religious morality.

The dialogue and characterizations are rudimentary. Of the acting and the direction, the best that can be said is that they would not disgrace a small-city drama club.

Fear No Evil is pompous, silly and contusing, but it also has several interesting sequences and a great deal of conviction... still worth seeing

An ambitious, oddly-paced mess.

Frank LaLoggia's film is ambitious to a fault, but it's oddly paced, overstuffed and frequently nonsensical. Streamlining the narrative - and casting a better leading lady - would have helped. As it stands, it's a peculiar 80s oddity

The most impressive aspect of this low-budget horror flick is its soundtrack (the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Talking Heads, The B-52's). In all other respects, it's pretty lousy.

A surprisingly decent demonic-possession film.

A remarkably assured, personal, and powerful horror film.

Everything you could hope for in a late 1970s-early 1980s horror picture -- and then some. It's exploitative, it's in crashingly bad taste, it's cheesy and it's pretty silly.

It's worth checking out if you're a big fan of '80s horror and have seen a lot of the essential titles already.
