"Evil Ed" is a warning sent to the American film industry from Sweden of all places. If you do no stop churning out repetitive, boring, horror movies, we will unleash our secret weapon on the cinema world. This weapon will come in the form of an over the top "black comedy", with a mean spirited script, adequate acting, and outlandish special effects. This will bury your "slasher in the woods" parade of trash horror films, and create a whole new genre for generations of fans yet unborn. From the grenade in the mouth exploding head beginning, to the flying limbs conclusion, movie goers will be mesmerized by Ed's evilness. Creativity lives, and it comes from Sweden. - MERK

Ever hear of the Splatter and Gore Department? I wish I could work there.So this movie comes from Sweden. I really wish more like this came from there, because this movie had my sides splitting from laughter. There's in-jokes, ridiculous characters, gore, goofy dialogue, and some of the creepiest film reels you'll ever see.Ed works as a film editor, but after a previous editor for the Splatter and Gore Department goes nuts and is killed while working, Sam Campbell (get it?) puts Ed in charge in his place. He puts Ed up in a nice secluded house, where the movies he edits begin to mess with Ed's head. He starts seeing body parts in place of food and monsters in the refrigerator. So he tries to tell Campbell that he doesn't want the job anymore.The scene with Ed in Campbell's office is outrageous, due mostly to the sound effects that Campbell has running in the background all day long. My favorite line from this sound collage? "It's molestin' time!" Wow. What the hell movie was that? Not to mention the "Beaver Rape Scene" that Ed cut from the movie, which Campbell demands stays in, claiming it's not offensive. Well, I mean, I've never seen or heard of a beaver rape scene, so I don't know if it would be or not. But probably, yeah.So Ed goes progressively crazier, killing people who deliver film to the house, or pretty much anyone who comes to the house. He even goes after his wife and kid, before finally tracking down Campbell, and well, Ed loses his head. In more ways than one.This movie is completely nuts. It's tongue in cheek, it's funny as hell, and it needs to be seen by more people. So yeah, watch it, then spread the word. It deserves viewers.

I didn't really rent this movie expecting a intellectual, philosophical movie. I expected a funny, gory splatter film, and I got just what I asked for.Edward works for some television studio and cuts out violent stuff from movies and such. That's his job. But when he gets to watch an entire film series of "Loose Limbs" and cut out blood and gore. But after awhile he can't handle it anymore and simply goes insane. He starts to see visions of monsters and persons from the films, and in his dreams a bandaged figure tells him to start killing off the "unpure". It just so happens that everyone seems to be unpure. After this Ed goes after several persons in his murderous rampage, including his wife, his daughter, a delivery guy, two thieves and a SWAT team.The film can be pretty damn gory at times, yet hilarious beyond boundries. Like the doctor scene! Holy crap, that scene is so damn hilarious its just... Hilarious! Its sick too, by the way.Edwards boss (Samuel Campbell is his name, a homage to Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi) is also pretty funny with some funny lines. But Edward is the one with the real one-liners! THey are truly unforgivable! Anyway, I cannot praise this hilarious movie enough. It gets 8 out of 10 from me!

~Spoiler~Do you ever get the feeling that you've seen all the great horror movies? Well I often feel this way and am constantly on the lookout for that one movie I have never seen. Evil Ed is the one I never gave a chance. I finally did. What a surprise. It was unbelievable witty, the gore is glorious, and the acting is as campy as it gets. What an underrated addition to the horror genre. Some say that it rips off a lot of other horror greats, like Evil Dead II, Gremlins, Night of the Living Dead, and maybe even Legend. It would be considered a rip off if it wasn't paying homage to these films. The plot, which is great, also gives it license to do this. Ed is this average dork who is given the job of editing all of these horrendous slasher/splatter movies. He eventually goes crazy which is a great spoof on the media's thoughts on violence in movies. And of course he sees monsters and things that aren't really there and he thinks that it has become his job to stop these evil filmmakers and their movies. It starts out a little slow and stupid, but when Ed loses it, you instantly forget the movies earlier sins. You definitely have to give this movie a chance before you just pass it over. If you love the Evil Dead series, then you should love Evil Ed because there are so many references to Evil Dead II it's laughable. A great foreign splatter movie. Note for genre buffs: Bill Moseley (Chop Top from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) does some nice voiceovers.
