Evil Things (2009)
6/10
Why all the bad reviews?
5 December 2011
OK, this movie isn't going to win any Oscars and the production could have been thought out to make it more believable. Some of my problems with it are: 1) Why would a bunch of kids go out for the day to frolic in the woods? Skiing or tobogganing I can believe but "hey lets go out in the woods to throw snowballs and look at a small waterfall?" That just didn't fly. 2) They get lost in the woods at night when it's supposed to be 40 degrees below and no one seems cold, no vapor from their mouths when they talk either (come on guys this shouldn't have been too hard to cover). 3) The stalker is one single person. Really? This makes no sense at all judging from all the ground he could cover. 4) The stalker knows the phone number of the aunt's house 5) The aunt's cabin is a luxury five bedroom home with other homes not too far away. I don't care what time of year it is there would always be someone within walking distance of such a residence. Despite all the shortcomings the movie did what it was supposed to do. It gave an air of suspense, a few thrills, and had me genuinely caring for the safety of these kids.From what I could tell this movie was most likely put together by young film makers just starting out, or even students, and on a shoestring budget (especially as far as movies go). That said it's damn near a masterpiece.
