dien Two things attracted me to this film: Natasha Lyonne and a mix of horror and comedy. You can't go wrong with that combination, right? The film starts out as a comedy and even though it remains funny until the end, the second half is very dark and bloody. There are quite graphic killings and the ending is nothing short of a massacre. Yet, it still remains entertaining and keeps you guessing how it will all end.The performances from all the leads are great. Natasha Lyonne totally disappears in her character as a somewhat demented auteur who gets consumed by her newly found fame. Cassandra Peterson puts on a very solid performance as a worried mother and there's even a nice little nod to her Elvira character.If you can enjoy a mix of horror and comedy with a touch of the bizarre and macabre, definitely watch this film. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Jimmy Collins Hehehehe, oh gee what a fun time All About Evil is, for starters this movie has a dream cast for a film destined for a cult following, Natasha Lyonne is probably the coolest and looniest indie actress, Mink Stole is cult royalty and Cassandra Peterson, need I say more? That woman is beyond fab!!!! So yes anyway, this movie will appeal to all types, horror buffs, campy queens and indie fans. The story is as follows Deborah Tennis is an awkward and reserved librarian who also works at her fathers movie theatre, she one evening transforms into Deb-Or-A!!!! An alter ego with a murderous streak and a psychotic and diva like personality, Debora decides to make short films of real murders to play at her theatre which eventually turn the once floundering theatre into the hippest place in town, thus many horrific hilarious mishaps ensue.This really is a dream come true for a film buff, there's so many things that are great great great about it, mainly though the best part if the film is the cast, each person puts in a terrific performance, in particular Natasha who is truly bonkers as the villianess DEBORAH! Thomas Dekker is also a great leading man, he is slightly annoying in other things but he suits this kind of film a lot.The only thing I would want more of is The Gruesome Twosome, they are swell in many ways, but their characters are a little underused. So if you are in the slightest interested in All About Evil I would highly recommend getting the DVD, it's worth it!!!!! Lots of fun to be had! It's excellent in every way. :) long live filmmakers like Peaches Christ! Enjoy.

pengd0t Low-budget, independent horror movies are often either so horribly acted as to become unwatchable, or so financially restricted that their silly effects prevent the movie from being taken seriously... but All About Evil suffers from none of that. The production values really shine throughout, and with such a surprisingly strong cast, there's never any bad line-reads that take you out of the scene or anything of that sort.Long-time Elvira fans may find themselves pleasantly surprised and impressed by Cassandra's Peterson's ability to change tones and actually play a "straight" character role for a change, but she makes the transition look easy. Vera and Veva, the evil twins, were even more surprising. They're genuinely creepy throughout, in a sort of slasher-Wednesday Addams way, but most of their other work seems to be stuff like this: http://bit.ly/9PTkae Those "Brit twins" were not exactly an obvious choice for this sort of role by any means, but the result speaks for itself.Ultimately, what I think I was most impressed with was the tasteful handling of wink/nod distribution concerning all the little genre references sprinkled throughout.The logo's font is a derivative of the Evil Dead font for example:http://bit.ly/9LIUwcWhile not everything is quite as subtle as all that, you get the idea. Considering that such subtlety usually seemsout of reach to horror-comedies (and, come to think of it, drag queens too for that matter...) this reserved sort of homage-handling was one of the most surprising and appreciated aspects for me.I don't think enough good things can be said about Joshua Grannell's first attempt at direction here. I left this thinking that it's pretty much exactly the sort of thing that any genre-respecting filmmaker trying for a horror-comedy should aim for, and that's certainly not a bad standard to set with your first try at making a film.As I recall, there was only one small technical detail that bothered me with this movie. There were a couple of times (one of which I remember was in the very beginning when Deborah's mother comes by) when the hand-held camera shot was uncomfortably wobbly to me. That only happens about two or three times as I recall, but it just always bothers me when tiny things like that pull my attention away from a story that I'm really enjoying otherwise.I can't wait to hear more about Grannell's possible upcoming new project that may be in the works. In the meantime, if the All About Evil spooktacular extravaganza comes through your area, be sure not to miss out.http://www.reelbad.net

catcole1971 OMG!!! I went to the San Francisco Premier and it was amazing!! I haven't had such a great time at the movies in years! I was totally entertained! I even took my kids ages 12, 13 and 15 and they loved it too! There was nothing I would have changed and nothing that disappointed me from start to finish. There is a fantastic cast! I am a huge Mink Stole and Cassandra Peterson fan myself! But now I can add Natasha Lyonne and Jack Donner to that list! They were terrific! And of course Peaches Christ was a DIVA!! The story was original and never a dull moment! Go see it!! I plan on seeing it again and again!
