The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreReally fun horror/splatter comedy from Joshua "Peaches Christ" Grannell. The repertory movie house setting is perfect, the cameos from genre favorites like Elvira are welcome, and the gore effects are out of this world. It's clear Grannell has much love and affection for the horror genre and it shows. This is a labor of love and a great midnight movie. Can't recommend enough for fans of slasher flicks and John Waters offbeat comedies.
... View MoreTwo 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.
... View MoreHehehehe, 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.
... View MoreAll About Evil is nothing short of pure orgasmic bliss for connoisseurs of B-Movies, Horror Films, and John Waters fans. Upon leaving the world premiere, I overheard several declaring it "the best written film in years" and this more-often-than-not disappointed movie-goer has to agree. Forget the capitalistic-driven run-of-the-mill Hollywood machine movies of summer and DEMAND your local theater bring All About Evil. This is pure cinematic artwork at its peak.The ensemble of bizarre characters is played by an equally eccentric cast, including Mink Stole (Hairspray/Female Trouble/Pink Flamingos), Noah Segan (Still Green/Self-Medicated), Jack Donner (Star Trek) and Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) who once again shows us she is a very talented actress. It also includes a young cast who are definitely on their way to becoming major film players - Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Jade and Nikita Ramsey, Ariel Hart, and Ashley Fink. At the center of the film is the very talented Natasha Lyonne's who almost seems to channel Faye Dunnaway in Mommie Dearest and deliver a performance on par with Nicole Kidman in "To Die For". This performance is deserving of any and all acting awards.For those who have had the privilege of attending San Francisco's Midnight Mass with Peaches Christ, they will not be disappointed with this instant "cult classic" (as it has been called by several magazines and newspapers - less than a week after its world premier). Peaches Christ is a bona fide institution in San Francisco - honored by the Museum of Modern Art - and those unfamiliar can reveal in the mastermind behind this Diva, one Joshua Grannell.All About Evil is a film that will not be appreciated, or even seen, by mass audiences. But, like John Waters films, it was never intended to. This reviewer is excited to see what Writer/Director Grannell creates next!
