Only heard of this one recently and it sounds good. Richard Crenna was an underrated actor. It was cool when he sent himself up in hot shots. Excellent video Anthony.
Hey T! Yeah it's floating around if you are interested and want to give it a go. Thanks for popping in bro. Have a good one! PS I loved Hot Shots! lol
Absolutely brilliant! Crenna is a boss. I'd love to see this and will definitely be hunting it down. Beautiful Tie Fighter work, man! That was hilarious. Ben Burtt's influence is far reaching. Most excellent, dude! 🤘
Hi Greg! There are certain actors like Richard Crenna who are just really cool to cover. Plus I've wanted to use that Rambo clip for 3 years now, lol. That tie-fighter bit cracked me up. I've been so into Star Wars lately, with the new show, so when I watched this film, it was meant to be a break from Star Wars....but nope...out of nowhere there's random tie-fighter sound fx 🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks as always for watching man, have a great week ahead! 🤜🤛
I enjoyed this movie too. I’m a big fan of Andrew Prine and his performances always stand out for me. His death scene in the movie was a highlight for me. I was course wanted him to survive but oh well. I got to meet Mr. Prine in person about 1 year prior to his actual death and he was a great man and was an amazing actor.
Hi Helane! Prine had the most memorable death scene in the movie, especially with the lead up. That's awesome you were able to meet him. I really liked him here to and am curious to check out his other work. Thanks for watching & have a nice week ahead! : )
I'm so glad someone finally made a video about this underrated gem! Saw this late one night and it has always stayed with me, I know it's kinda strange to say this about a horror movie but this is a comfort movie for me, happy to see it getting some love! Also you aren't alone in loving the ending of the movie, I thought it was great! Loved your video!
Hey Josh! Glad you enjoyed the vid and happy to see some fans of this movie are out there! Much thanks man!
@@FeverDreamlandTheater No problem bro, I’m pleased to meet another “The Evil” fan! I’ll be sure to check out some of your other videos! Hope you are doing well and take care of yourself man! :D
Your videos usually make me laugh but this one had me cackling. 😂 The Evil is definitely going on my watch list. I'm loving that it's fast paced so there are no lulls and looks like it's stood the test of time with it's effects and look and feel of the movie. Thank you for another awesome recommendation and breakdown, Anthony! ✨
Ha, ha, hey I think it's good to get goofy sometimes. If you get a chance to check this one out, I'm curious what you think. Have a good one!
Great choice of an underrated film. The Newcastle After Dark channel hosted this film and they were fans of the ending as am I. That whole scene could have come across as goofy but it really worked. Buono (and his huge head) was fantastic. Awesome job with the edits as always!
Mr. Dan! Couldn't agree more! See now I feel better about that ending, lol. I checked around online and found so many people mostly hating on it. Thanks for checking in, appreciate it man. Have a great week ahead!
Nice!! Film overlooked but a fun spooky ride....great vid...👍💀
Bones! 💀 Much thanks man, yeah this one was new to me too so I'm glad to give it a little spotlight. Thanks as always for checking in and here's a to a fun month ahead. 🤜 🤛
Hey, Anthony! Wow, another fantastic review! I had never heard of this movie but now I am definitely going to check it out! Thanks for putting the spotlight on these kinds of cult movies. Interesting, I had no idea there was a George O'Hanlon Jr, but he is indeed the son of George O'Hanlon the original voice of George Jetson, which is cool (for me at least). And of course I'm always down for anything with Victor Buono. Also great to hear this one is on Tubi, that and Freevee are both awesome!
Hey Cinecrisis, thanks for checking in! Yeah I wanted to have at least one horror movie covered for the season, so I figured why not try something very 70's this time. I read up on Victor Buono in relation to this, he was often cast in older roles due to his appearance, even when he was young. Anyway, I want to check out some of his other films. Have a good one!
70s was a great era for horror
It Is true
Facts.
I'll definitely have to give it a watch this Spooky Season. Thanks!
Heeey wassup AdorkableRJ. Hope you have been well. Yeah this one is ideal for Halloween time. Thanks for checking in. Have a good one!
Awesome vid! Interesting thoughts and great editing. Hilarious use of the tie fighter sound! That is strange that they used that sound for the dog lol. I enjoyed the ending of the movie. It surprised me that they went there. I just realized the title of the movie is probably a clever joke. The devil with the d left off. A little hint like Darth Vader sounding like Dark Father in Swedish. I love movies like this movie and Burnt Offerings and Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. Cheers 👍🎞️🎥📽️🎃🎃🎃🎃
Hey Max! Burnt Offerings, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death and for sure I would throw in The Amityville Horror are key 70's horror. As a huge Star Wars fan I geeked out when the tie sound popped in. I actually had clips of Jason running with the tie sound and the chair throw from Malignant with the tie sound too, but you know how it is with editing, you never know if maybe you are pushing a joke too far, lol. Thanks for checking in as always, have a good one!
I hadn’t heard of this one. You’re a font of knowledge Anthony.
Wonderful, interesting watch.
Hey Lisa! : ) Yeah this was a surprisingly fun watch for me, and the related trivia made it all the better. Much thanks for checking in!
I totally agree with you on the finally of the Devil!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness and God of Thunder and Lightning 🧛🦇🐺⚰️🪦🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡⚡⚡⚡
OMG! I used to watch The Evil constantly when Fox would show it on the weekends back in the 90s. Idk why I still haven't bought a physical copy of it - my older brother does at least. 😅 I really dig this one because house was so violent towards the guests. That house was like: Ya'll not getting away from this house 😂. The dog scene- still gets to me. 😢 You know what I'm talking about? A steller review as always.
Heeeeey Nye! 😊 Good to hear you are familiar with this one. When I finally caught this, it really struck me as such a fun / weird haunted house flick. And I agree, the bit with the dog was rough and the house was just relentless with the victims. Much thanks for watching! Have a great week ahead!
Thank you for sharing the video.🌹 I look forward to your next video!
Thanks Saraah!
Note to self: If something is sealed with a cross leave it alone
😂 😂 😂 agreed
I love 70’s horror. Haven’t seen this, though. I’ll have to check it out.
Hey WW! No doubt, if you do give this a go, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for popping in dude. 👍 Be well!
Hey wassup Anthony! Great way to start off October my friend!. 70s has plenty of scary horror movies from The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Alien, Black Christmas, and my personal favorite Halloween.
Charles! That list right there is top-notch....perfect for Halloween. Agreed, 70's horror is amazing, plus there's lots of it that is new to me, including this flick. Thanks for watching, have a good one! 🤜 🤛
Never seen this movie, now I have to. It looks so good, thanks for the recommendation. Always glad to see a new horror movie especially during Spooky Season. Also if you find a cross buried on top of a locked door in the ground, never remove it lol
😂😂😂 lol very true, unfortunately I think the only way to start the movie was to remove the cross in this case. Thanks for watching FanZcene. I think there's a Shout! release of this film and it's floating around free online (tubi) if you want to give it a go before maybe buying. Be well man!
Anthony this is a great one! Perfect for Halloween. I think I’m going to rewatch this today while I work. The fashion.. come on🙌🙌 really nice vid!!
Karen! Hey another fellow fan of this movie! I'm actually looking forward to giving this a rewatch too closer to Halloween. Thanks for checking in & dropping a comment, always appreciated! 😁
I think I rented this years ago at BLOCKBUSTER .
Yeah you probably wanna avoid building your house over a gateway to hell 😂
Great work with this review! It’s a favourite of mine. Very cool film. Definitely really good to watch this time of the year. 👍
Hey wassup NossaGenreCult, hope you have been well! It's cool to see this one has more people that have seen it than I thought. Have a a good one!
Great review! I just finished filming a review of this after I just watched it a while ago on tubi. I've only seen this twice now, but I really like how it turned out!
Ha ha, same here....good ol' Tubi. That service has improved so much, the titles they have available now are incredible compared to when it first launched. Thanks for checking in man, be well!
Anthony, great review as usual.
Almost enough to make me watch the movie....almost, he heh.
[For anyone else reading this, the author knows that I am a fan of his, despite hating horror, and I won't normally even sit in the same room as a horror movie.]
That being said, how about a review double feature: the original Nosferatu and the 'documentary' Shadow of the Vampire.
At least with those two, I might be able to add something intelligent to the conversation, and not just a bit of babbling to goose the algorithm along.
Slow and steady does win the race, tho... Keep up the good work.
PS think you might do a crossover with Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit and Peter Jackson's work as a horror director? Tolkien himself had some very terrifying sections of horror in the original books, (all of the Old Forest and the Barrow wights were not filmed at all, and I bet that PJ would have done that justice) and plenty of the stuff of nightmares made it into these films.
Or since Halloween is a'comin, a full retrospective on the Universal and Hammer monster flicks, and the Abbott and Costello monster comedies would be welcomed I'm sure.
Just a thought!
Hi Marie! I thank you and the algorithm thanks you. lol 🤣😂 Whenever I go beyond TZ it's uphill battle, eh, it's all good. No matter what, I need to refresh by talking about other stuff sometimes. Speaking of which, I love your ideas, especially the Universal and Hammer monster flicks. I think something along those lines can be good for most anytime. Thanks as always for checking in, take care & have a great week ahead!
Maybe it's just me, but nothing beats cool wire-work from old-school horror movies. Nowadays it would be done with CGI. Cool review bro 🦊👍
Hey Fox! I agree, about the CGI. Sometimes it could maybe work if it is used subtly to just enhance the scene. But sometimes they just go overboard with CGI and any sense of realism is lost. At least with practical, most FX stay a little more grounded. Thanks for checking in man, always appreciated!
I will never buy an old mansion because they're always hiding a secret evil. Also because I have no money. As always, love all the interesting info about the actors (I knew that was King Tut as soon as I saw him!) See ya buddy.
Hey Sig! That Batman series had so many familiar faces. I knew Victor Buono looked familiar too. He was also in another horror I want to check out called The Mad Butcher from 1972. Be well man.
Vincent Price as Egghead!@@FeverDreamlandTheater
Haven't seen this one but it seems like it is definitely my type of movie. Great review.
Hey wassup interwebkaiju, this one is a little more obscure but worth a go if you get a chance. Be well and thanks for checking in man! 🤜🤛
My dad owned a theatre way back when.
It's odd, but I think I actually have the original poster for this movie somewhere in my house.
I was a big horror fan and remember many nights where I went in the snackbar after we closed and got creeped out by the scary posters.
If, if I can find it I could mail it to you. I would rather give it to someone who liked it, than let it rot. Let me know. I sent you a email.
Hey Grumpyoldwizard. Much thanks for checking in & I appreciate the kind offer. I'll follow up with you via email. Thanks & all the best!
These real estate developers really need to start checking more closely for gateways to hell. It's a real problem. It's also probably a good to ignore trapdoors sealed with crosses as well. That's been my experience.
As to the film, I'm pretty sure I have the trailer on one or more of my numerous trailer comps. Looks neat. But, I think the question really is....does the dog sound like a tie fighter....for does the tie fighter sound like the evil dog?
"does the tie fighter sound like the evil dog?" 😱 - mind blown - lol and just like that, I will never view Star Wars the same way ever again. 😂😂😂 Hey Rob, thanks for watching man & for making me crack up. Also, speaking of real estate developers, that actor upfront who sold the couple the property was Milton Selzer a TZ veteran, he was in Hocus Pocus & Frisby and The Masks. I'm now at a bizarre point where no matter what movie or tv show I randomly watch, I'll find a Star Wars connection or a Twilight Zone connection. lol. Have a good week ahead!
@@FeverDreamlandTheater 6 Degrees of Twilight Zone. I can dig it.
This is a movie that i need to see again and i remember it being a mixed bag overall but i also think i would enjoy it more now since it's been years since I've seen it. Enjoyed the video bro!
Heeey wassup Sean! Thanks for checking in man, yeah sometimes a replay can work wonders. In any case, good hearing from you, have a nice weekend!
The random tie fighter sounding dog 😅😅
Dude, I cannot escape Star Wars! 😅 😅 😅 LOL
Tie Fighter dogs is wild 😂
😂😂😂 Hey wassup Kenny! Yeah man, the dog had me cracking up. I'm a big Star Wars fan, so that was actually a cool, but random surprise.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater Yeah I love noticing little strange details like that in movies.
Looks like a very interesting horror movie
Heeey is that Jason? 😀Hope you've been well man, thank for checking in.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater yeah man the old Toy Madness
@@JasonGould1976 Awesome, good to see you again my friend! 😁
You have letterboxd?
Hey Oppenhomie. No not just yet, but I've been meaning to for some time and once I get it going I'll link it here.
