Evil's City (2005) is a real bad DTV flick about a creepy old town that a nosy reporter and her crew decides to visit. Nobody seems to know how to get there making the trek a bit difficult. A stranger with a hodge-podge English accent who's a drifter "in these parts" also gives the reporter a cryptic warning about darkness and evil. This doesn't deter the reporter who continues on her mission to find this mysterious town and learn about it's dark past. But will she and her friends like what they finds? Who is this mysterious stranger and why are people in the vicinity so quiet and mum about "Evil's City"?A bad movie that might appeal to survival horror fans and those who enjoy DTV movies. I was just disappointed in the overall execution and script. I wouldn't recommend it but some people might enjoy it.
A motley bunch of young college news students check out the mysterious town of Acheron, a weird hamlet that's located in a remote fog-shrouded woodland area. They discover that not only is Acheron populated by an array of deadly and unrestful spirits who come out at night, but also that the ungodly place feeds on people's sins, wickedness, and deepest desires. Writer/director Tom Lewis concocts an effectively eerie and inspired take on the standard ghost town premise: he creates a strong and compelling creepy gloom-doom atmosphere which becomes more progressively unnerving and nightmarish as the plot unfolds, relates the intriguing story at a steady pace, further spices things up with a few modest lashings of grisly gore, and delivers one doozy of a surprise jolting ending. The capable acting from an appealing no-name cast rates as another substantial asset, with especially praiseworthy work by Brandon Largent as the decent, amiable Todd Harding, Laura Mazur as the troubled Courtney, Kathryn Carner as the bitchy Amber, America Young as the ruthlessly ambitious Misty, Tyler Lassiter as scruffy slacker Ruben, and Richard Kinsey as a sinister preacher. Royce Allen Dudley's sharp cinematography and Carlos Vivas' moody, spooky score are both on the money solid. Only some dodgy CGI effects detract a bit from this otherwise sound and enjoyable horror sleeper.
This movie pretty much consists of a good idea but crappy development. Underfunded made this movie a big POS but anyway on with the review. This movie is about a group of story go-getters that want to get the biggest story of all and have pictures for proof of its existence. Their after a town called Acheron which apparently everyone died in. The town is out in the middle of nowhere and a few random people just appear out of nowhere and begin taking a role in the movie. But before you can even fathom how it ends let me tell you how it begins, a girl gets a gun to her head by some freako that said he saw this town, which they didn't even know what it was then. This movie pretty much isn't worth the 7.95 I paid for it, fund it better and make a new one with a real director and it might be worth your time.
Some college kid reporters go off in search of a hidden ghost town called Acheron. Naturally they find a bit more than they bargained for. After a good start the movie gets pretty bogged down. During the first half it's kind of hard to figure out much about what's really going on, it just plain jumps around too much. There are flashbacks that don't really help since they just sort of pop up out of nowhere. The last half hour or so picks up nicely as people are getting knocked off left and right in very violent fashion. You're gonna have to watch this sucker twice to actually enjoy this flick. That way you'll have some idea where the plot is going. Watchable if you like blood and guts. I give it a four out of ten for gore.
