Surviving Evil

If you value your time but still want to watch Surviving Evil, my advice is to skip the entire first half. It’s the classic introduction, where a group of people (this time a TV crew) arrive at a certain place (an island) with something dangerous lurking that they are unaware of, but the viewer knows it (some sort of humanoid demons). After some time, they stumble into some unsettling artefacts (an empty aboriginal village) and they decide whether to stay or leave. Unfortunately, Surviving Evil is not particularly well made or acted, so you can easily ignore those 45 minutes. After that, it’s quite an entertaining forest massacre that doesn’t deviate from the ranks of B-movie average (comparable, for instance, with After Dusk They Come). PS: I would love to finally see the premise of visitors to an island inhabited by bloodthirsty monsters in the hands of someone competent! :-( (20/02/2010)
