paulclaassen Firstly, I have to say Frederick Koehler was fantastic as the mentally handicapped boy. The film took Andrew Getty 15 years to completely, and sadly the film was released after his death. Andrew did a great job experimenting with interesting effects and visuals, which all blended together so well, and actually made me think I was inside the mind of the handicapped boy and the way he interprets everything around him. I did, however, found the film a bit slow moving and even a sense of deja vu at times, and also became rather weird towards the end.

NEON POLTERGEIST Dina meyer from starship troopers fame, and yep she was hot back in the days, and patrick flannery from boondocks saints, both actors I havent seen in a movie since above mentioned titles, so yep its a a mixed bag here. the bizarre" people are talking about It's just that smaller budget movies/ homecrafting movies often has that troma look. It's great to be creative and im sure the makers had fun doing this film, As a viewer, It was to drawn out and felt longer and never really built up any atmosphere. theres some titties, some gore towars the end but that,s pretty much it

Claudio Carvalho The mentally handicapped thirty year-old man Dennis (Frederick Koehler) lives with his older brother John (Sean Patrick Flanery). When John decorates his room with an antique mirror, Dennis has nightmares and finds evil in his reflection. His reflected image forces him to kill people including his beloved ice-cream seller Susan (Brianna Brown) and Dennis becomes a serial-killer. Meanwhile John's girlfriend Lydia (Dina Meyer) decides to move in together with John and Dennis ignoring the threat of her brother-in-law. What will happen to them? "The Evil Within" is an overrated horror film with a pretentious messed up screenplay. Despite the cast with Dina Meyer and Sean Patrick Flanery, the result is an annoying and boring film with an absurd conclusion. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): Not Available

farchettiensis Found it at random, and decided to give it a watch, as the storyline picked my attention. Being a horror movie veteran, I know ratings are not trustworthy, so I tend to ignore them (I'd think that there may be at least 2 points of error in the ratings in horror movies).It turned out to be quite a surprise. At first, it won't look like a big deal. One of the characters may come across as a little tiring and the acting may seem to be going a bit over the top. Although I did not find acting brilliant, it was good overall, and my first impressions dispelled. I believe that, rather than acting, it was the bad text written for a couple of scenes that caused me discomfort.At any rate, the movie is quite dark and it grew on me. The disturbing dreams, which seems to interweave with reality, gradually throwing a fragile person out of balance, and the quite unusual narrative. The way the move progresses fascinated me; it's dark, disturbing, and verisimilar. The character plunges further into a path he can longer emerge from; he is no longer himself, but is a captive in his own body. The symbolism used pleased me.The disturbing characters that sprang as the movie neared it's conclusion were fascinating. From one point, I was confused as to whether it was a dream of the characters, an other-worldly dimension, or simply a quite disturbing reality.My sole disappointment was the writer felt he should he resort to Christian clichés to describe evil ("legion"). I wish writers were more creative in this respect. If they can't find words to describe evil, they should not use words. After all, that's one advantage of movies.
