From my favorite movies..

Don't listen to the negative reviews

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Spoilers! Awful movie. Storyline is everywhere. Evangeline has the worst luck in the entire world. Not only does she get brutally "killed" once but she also gets raped and almost killed again! No one calls the police when they find her basically dead in the woods. Seriously the group that finds her make it seem so normal to find a almost dead person in the woods.it would have been a descent movie but it's like they gave up. Even the makeup was laughable. I couldn't stop laughing. The killings are super quick and not wworth the time it takes to watch to find out what happens. I'll tell you, they all die within 30 seconds. Also, her sisters death plays no role in the movie. It's pointless

Warning: may contain spoilers!Evangeline is the story of a naive college girl who has a seriously shitty life. Now this might not be one of the most creative movies out there but it is definitely interesting to watch. The acting might not be top of the mill but it's better than some other movies I've seen. Then there's the cinematography; this is done very thoughtfully and gives the movie a distinct atmosphere and makes up for the fact that the special effects aren't all that. It is certainly the number 1 thing that makes this movie worthwhile to watch. Besides, I personally don't think the special effects are what makes a movie good.One problem I have with, not so much the movie, but more the description of the movie here on IMDb is that it's very misleading. Because yes, the frat boys leave her for dead in the forest, but, she doesn't die there, and this is not the moment she becomes an avenging spirit. The build up to this moment is done very cleverly and you see her slowly being pushed over the edge in contrast to immediately going on a murderous rampage as the description might have you believe.The story leaves quite some open ends and challenges the viewer to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. If you don't have this imagination or fancy explain-it-all-at-the-end kind of movies this one is not for you.

The premise is nothing really original. There have been many many other movies with certain and slight variations of this theme. Some that come to mind are "The Crow" and "Pumpkinhead" just to mane a few. I'm sure there are plenty of others.The acting was OK but nothing spectacular. No potential Oscar material here.The special effects again are just OK but no eye candy here. I always thought blood was opaque however in this movie it looks kind of like dark fruit punch.There are some serious plot holes throughout the movie. There is such a lack of character development that its amazing anyone watches the whole thing through. Where some very simple dialogue should be, there is none, just bizarre images. Images don't make up for plot explanation. I guess there is a certain amount of viewer imagination and or interpretation required here. I detest movies with plot holes and character under-development. Anyhow that about sums it up. Enjoy and use your imagination.

I saw (simply by just reading a little on the "title" page here) there was no "tag line" for this movie. That is very understandable because I watched it, and STILL could not tell you what it was supposed to be about.The movie opens with a sequence of a young girl being buried alive by someone the audience can easily identify as a serial killer. Flash-forward to the next scene and the title character is now attending some university. It seems she has lost her little sister due to some sort of illness. This is the first sub-plot that is never really explained. "Eva" (as she is called in the movie) meets her roommate and friend and the next thing you know she's off to some frat party where she gets smashed, apparently flirts with the president (or Grand Poobah--whatever you want to call him), gets knee-walkin', commode-huggin' drunk...and then you have the obligatory puking scene. Hungover and not wanting to leave campus for a long weekend, Eva trots herself down to the rec room on campus to shoot a game of pool...where she meets (again) the president of this frat. He takes her to his cabin-in-the-woods and all hell breaks loose. Left for dead, some sort of evil forest spirit possesses Eva, and she now looks like someone in real bad Kabuki makeup. NOTE TO DIRECTOR: Next time at least TRY to have the makeup go BEYOND the jaw line of the character. After this, the movie turns into a quasi rip off of "I Spit on Your Grave." This movie appeared to be made by people lacking opposable thumbs. Everything is thrown together, with nothing being explained. My major questions surrounded this frat president and his goons. Did EVERYBODY on campus know they were killing innocent girls just for sh*ts and giggles? Why didn't anyone go to the police? When Eva encountered the campers in the forest, was she dead? Half-dead? Gaseous? What?Rated "R" for brief nudity, graphic violence, and language, "Evangeline" leaves your with way more questions than answers. Not recommended.
