The Evil is apparently Victor Buono, looking for all the world like that all-white old dude in The Matrix Rebooted that said stuff like “incontrovertibly” and “paradigm” and shit. (What was his name? Will Ferrell?) Anyway, the idea that a hellish pit of Ultimate Darkness would be a big white room with puffs of smoke on the floor and a fat bearded man on a throne – a stereotypical vision of Heaven, in other words – is pretty interesting, maybe even subversive. Too bad there’s nothing else to support the subversion (the crux of the story – an atheist comes to believe in God to stop the Devil – is in complete conflict with the visuals of the climax), or even make it a good haunted house movie. There’s a scene that suggests – I think – that three possessed characters are about to have sex with a corpse, but it’s shot and edited so haphazardly that I wasn’t sure. And couldn’t ex-Mr. Goldie Hawn find some way to kill off his characters, other than electricity? Alright, only three, but three is still too many, man.
Where we saw it: vhs | We deign to rate it: 17 outta 100Hey man, I'm in your town. The email Greg gave me for you keeps bouncing back to me. Hope to meet up with you at some point. I've got a Nomeansno comp with your name on it. Greg has a number where you can reach me.

Anyway, I'm so glad you could make it up to Seattle. I'll be emailing you soon about getting together (along with the new, improved email, of course).
