08/23/2020 This has to be one of the queerest horror movies ever made. Joining the ranks of films like Nightmare on elm St. 2 and Hellbent, Fear no evil tells the tale of a kid that gets bullied and discovers he's the devil's son of sorts. Add zombies, demons, glitter, lasers, lots of homoeroticism and a spattering of male nudity and there you have it. I discovered this gem a few years ago and was happy it got the blu ray treatment recently. It's not a great film but it's definitely got that sleazy, retro horror feel that makes it worthwhile. 7/10 See more 05/05/2020 I was bored through a lot of it, but then all of sudden, like out of nowhere, the movie lost its damn mind. I didn't know what the hell was going on, not sure I really cared either... See more 10/05/2019 Went from zero to bugnuts crazy in an alarming amount of time. See more 09/24/2018 Not as bad as it reputation suggests. Actually, pretty darn good for a "first film" by a 23-year-old writer/director in 1981. An odd mix of antichrist/high school revenge flick with zombies thrown in for good measure. The highlight is the finale where all Hell breaks loose during a performance of the Passion Play.

It's like a tale of two films. The first hour is a real drag. It doesn't mean there isn't some good stuff that happens in the first two acts, it's just really, really slow. The last act is almost everything I want in an early 80s b-horror movie. Zombies, demonic showdowns, lots of bizarre and confusing moments, terrible acting, and a laser light show. The last 30 minutes is almost everything I want in a horror movie around Halloween time. However, the first hour is just bad. It's mostly high school drama that I thought at first was more of a Carrie ripoff. There are some funny moments (guys making out in the shower) and some disturbing moments (the blood from the dog), but it moves along so slowly that you find yourself fading off or losing interest in the movie. It's especially difficult since the movie follows three different viewpoints, and sometimes switches to other characters to show what they're going through as well. So something with a plot as simple as "teenage kid is the devil" gets really convoluted and confusing simply because of the presentation. It's a real shame because the last half hour is so entertaining for this genre. See more Read all reviews
