That's funny. I was just thinking the other day that there aren't nearly enough gory Sexplotation, Christian-feminist flicks. And come to think of it, there most certainly are. This one being about as entertaining as it needs to be. Evil Come Evil go; the story of the extremely southern-sounding, traveling preacher-killer. The Foul-mouthed Sister Sarah Jane. I don't mean she kills preachers. I mean this chick is a preacher, or she at least thinks she's one. Plus she lures unsuspecting men with the high hopes of sex, and all they ever get is gory death. Sister Sarah really, really hates men. When Sister Sarah hooks up with Penny the naive lesbian, promising her salvation, or something similar.Tthey quickly become partners-in-crime. Not a lot of story to tell. More "love scenes" than anything. Just the sleazy 70's in all its glory. Looking for a good double feature? Try pairing this one up with John Waters' Desperate Living. And if You're a chick who happens to despise men, all the better. Actually, come to think of it, Evil Come Evil Go can be found on a Triple-feature DVD, from Something Weird Video, which is awesome, but something so entertaining definitely deserves a stand-alone release. Honestly, I would recommend quite a few other trash epics before this one. However, Evil Come Evil Go tops a whole lot of others I've seen. In other words, nothing groundbreaking, but it ain't boring by any means. So, if humorous, vintage Sexploitation gore, with plenty of rewatch value is what you're looking for, well, then I guess there's nothing more to say. 7/10

Street preacher Sara Jane (Cleo O'Hara) believes God has put her on this Earth to rid the world of pleasurable sex. She receives shelter from Penny (Sandra Henderson), a lesbian who Sara Jane promises to turn to God. How does she do this? By having Penny help her in killing anything that humps. This is certainly one of the more bizarre horror morality tales out there. Clocking it at a lean 73-minutes, I would say 60% of that time is spent with the camera lens ogling nude bodies. Not that I mind, but it does tend to get a bit monotonous. Things liven up whenever O'Hara is around though. Dolled up like Baby Jane and sporting a southern accent the would fit in perfect in COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER (the first half, that is), she is a hoot as she sings Bible hymns while killing (and dreaming of having her own evangelical show). There are quite a few stabbing deaths in here with some H.G. Lewis blood on display. I have no idea who the target audience for this was - T&A fans? Horror fans? Religious freaks? All of the above?

Obviously one of those sleazy films of the 1970's that always read better in a synopsis better than they play out in front of the eyes, "Evil Come, Evil Go" however does stay in the mind for a while after viewing. It's sure not the uninteresting sex scenes full of pasty, unshaven, unattractive people doing their best to try and act out something passionate that does it, or the lackluster "Hold the cue card closer, I can't read my lines off of it!" acting style. The film comes across as more of a pseudo-documentary, simply following the Preacherwoman through her motions as she acts the hypocrite, snorting fire and brimstone on those stupid young lovers, then picking up guys in bars and butchering them in a hotel room. Badly shot, badly acted, but yet plays out in a way that keeps one's attention. Go figure that one, huh?

A religious fanatic teams up with a lesbian and they go on a killing spree offing people who have sex. This is a really terrible film. It's barely over an hour in length, and it feels interminably long. Every single scene plays out at a glacial pace. The one highlight is somebody's cat that enters a scene clearly unexpectedly and commands the frame for a few minutes. Give the cat an Oscar and chuck this flick in the trash.

One of the better horrible movies I have seen from the 70's. The story line is good and could make a great movie today, but the acting and quality of the picture is poor. Regardless, I was captured by the film and was really wanting to see where it would end.

I was lead to believe that the 1972 movie "Evil Come, Evil Go" was a horror movie of sorts, and thus I opted to sit down and watch it, as I had the opportunity to do so here in 2024. I had actually never heard about the movie, so I virtually had no idea what I was in for.

Now, writers Walt Davis and Bob Chinn had actually managed to put together a storyline and script, but you have to look long and hard in between all the pointless lewd sex scenes for the narrative. And it just got repetitive and boring really, really fast.

Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, though going as far as to calling them actors and actresses would be stretching the term a bit. I was most definitely not impressed with what I witnessed on the screen.

Sure, I can grasp that the movie was made in the early 1970s, but come on, the director was essentially just shooting a softcore porn movie here. There was way, way too much focus on sex scenes; scenes that carried on for way too long and served the narrative no purpose except for something off lewd scenes. It was tacky and pointless, and it was actually that aspect of the movie which killed the movie for me and made me turn off the movie, as I was bored to tears.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as this. Perhaps an audience that were randy young adults back in 1972. But I was born in 1975, and sat down to watch the movie in 2024 with the intention of being entertained by a movie that I had never seen, much less heard about, and I was in for a rude awakening.

"Evil Come, Evil Go" was a swing and a miss of a movie in terms of entertaining me. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you to sit down and waste 73 minutes on watching, if you get the DVD version of the movie, whereas the other release runs at 66 minutes. This was nothing more than sleazy 1970s pornographic trash.

My rating of director Walt Davis' 1972 movie "Evil Come, Evil Go" lands on a one out of ten stars.

In the annals of cult cinema, few films have achieved the delirious heights of depravity and audacious absurdity as Walt Davis' 1972 exploitation extravaganza, "Evil Come Evil Go." This cinematic fever dream defies conventional storytelling, opting instead for a surreal odyssey that plunges headfirst into the depths of human perversion and debauchery.

From the opening frames, "Evil Come Evil Go" establishes itself as a cinematic experience like no other. The narrative, if one can call it that, is a loosely woven tapestry of vignettes that explore the darkest recesses of human desire and depravity. Davis' direction is uncompromising, unapologetic, and utterly unhinged, creating a fever dream that oscillates between moments of shocking brutality and absurdist humor.

The ensemble cast of "Evil Come Evil Go" delivers performances that transcend the boundaries of conventional acting. Each character is a caricature of human excess, embodying the most extreme and twisted facets of human nature. From the sultry and seductive femme fatales to the deranged and sadistic villains, every performer commits wholeheartedly to the film's delirious vision, creating a tapestry of unforgettable and often disturbing characters.

"Evil Come Evil Go" is a film that revels in its own depravity, pushing the boundaries of taste and decency to their absolute limits. Davis' unflinching exploration of taboo subjects, from graphic violence to explicit sexuality, is both shocking and mesmerizing. The film's ability to elicit visceral reactions, whether it be revulsion or perverse fascination, is a testament to its power and audacity.

Despite its controversial subject matter and uncompromising vision, "Evil Come Evil Go" has earned a well-deserved cult following over the years. Its unapologetic embrace of excess and its willingness to challenge societal norms have made it a touchstone for fans of transgressive cinema. While it may not be for the faint of heart, those willing to embark on this delirious journey will be rewarded with an unforgettable cinematic experience that defies categorization.

"Evil Come Evil Go" is a film that demands to be experienced rather than simply watched. Its audacious vision and uncompromising exploration of human depravity make it a cult classic that has stood the test of time. While its excesses may be too much for some viewers, those willing to embrace its madness will find a cinematic odyssey that pushes the boundaries of what is possible on screen. It is a film that will linger in the mind long after the credits roll, a testament to the power of transgressive cinema and the enduring allure of the deliriously depraved.

Evil Come, Evil Go has the strongest opening 20 minutes of an exploitation film I've seen for quite some time, with the main character singing a hymn on the way to pick up her first lucky/unlucky victim. When they're laying in bed together the rotten sleazebag berates her for continuing to sing hymns whilst he's "tryin' to give head" to her. Amusingly this ultra prude allows him to go all the way before sticking a knife in his back, ending his reign of wanton lust.

Unfortunately the pace does eventually let up, the numerous fateful sex scenes becoming increasingly dull. Sarah Jane's meeting with a lesbian named Penny does liven things up somewhat, she meekly agrees to assist her puritan rampage which yields several rather tasty murder scenes. The ending is a bit of a let down, but overall I had a fun time with this one and if the premise appeals to you then I imagine you will too. The running time is appropriate given the lack of variety within and prevents things from getting too stagnant. 2 years earlier Walt Davis directed the utterly perverted Sex Psycho, which is a real treat for lovers of cinematic depravity and must have surely been one of the most outrageous films to ever grace a grindhouse at the time.

Evil Come, Evil Go is definitely not for the mainstream moviegoer. However, if you are like me, and love movies that are as strange as they can be, you should really enjoy this one. Of course the acting is pretty bad, with the exception of Sara Jane, who actually plays the role pretty well! If you like this one, be sure to check out director Walt Davis' other film, Sex Psycho. It is a LOT stronger than this one, including hardcore mixed with blood and gore. I have also written a review here on the IMDB for this film as well. Happy viewing!

Unusual, sex/slasher/comedy, with evangelical theme. In truth the sex is fairly well done, let down only by the low lighting (and frequency), the bloody scenes are also not bad and it really is amusing now and again. Sister Sara is a self styled 'anti- pleasurable sex' evangelist who enlists another to help lure men and then do them in, because they are so evil. This is all made watchable though by decent use of original music and hymn singing(!) sometimes accompanied by tambourine thumping. It is particularly impressive at the start and we see the girls on the street but it looses it's way a little two thirds in when we reckon it's all over but it then steps up a gear and finishes with a flourish. If you think this review is a bit muddled, you should see the film. Fun to be had nonetheless.

Sister Sarah is a Bible-thumping evangelist nutcase who dresses like Baby Jane Hudson.

She travels from one rural American ragdump to the next, vociferating the evils of recreational sex. Between her holy-rolling streetcorner castigations, she pacifies crowds with her mellifluous hymns(not only is she the Lord's golden-throated songbird, she also plays the accordion). By night, Sarah frequents bars, intent on luring "sinful" men to their bloody deaths. By-and-by, she takes on a wealthy, brick-ugly lesbian minion...together, these goose-stepping Christian crusaders become a holy force to be reckoned with.

Craggy little exploitation cowplop is too over-the-top to possibly be sincere...I suspect it has tongue lodged firmly in cheek when it's not lodged firmly elsewhere. EVIL COME EVIL GO is neither fish nor fowl...while nothing about it is exactly praiseworthy, it's generally more rounded than the centroid of its kindred contemporaries. And while the film's underpinnings may be of an erotic nature, it certainly won't serve to enhance xerotripsis for most fellows.

4/10

It's not Citizen Kane.. but it isn't trying to be. It is a schlocky, early exploitation piece with sex, murder and religion.. A true mish-mash of genres. I'm amazed that no one has made note that the Robert Chinn in the credits became the "Famous" Bob Chinn once he hooked up with John Holmes and began directing the "Johnny Wadd" series. The next film featuring some of the same workers was "The Demon in Miss Jones".. aka Sex Psycho.. which featured an early appearance by John Holmes.. therefore making that film the first time Chinn/Holmes worked together.

This film is more gore-centric where Sex Psycho is more sex centered. All in all.. a pretty good waste of time.. you could do lots worse.

One of the most "different" movies around. Rather amazing in its graphic sexuality combined with an old fashioned values environment.

This film, a weird cross-breed of horror and soft-core porn, is one of the more original low budget flicks from the 70s. Apparently intended for the grindhouse crowd(and coming near the end of that era), this movie mixes sex with religious fanaticism and gore. Sister Sarah Jane drifts cross-country, preaching against the evils of pleasurable sex and men. And how does this fine lady do the Lord's work? By hooking up with men, having sex with them, then stabbing them to death! Sister Sarah takes her message to the streets of downtown Hollywood, where she finds a disciple in naive Penny, a wealthy lesbian who swears to renounce her tendencies and follow Sarah. Together, they conspire to enact Sarah's master plan: Penny lures the men to her house and has sex with them and Sarah kills them. As sick as it sounds, it works. Actress Cleo O'Hara handles her role as Sarah Jane skillfully, going from bible-thumping harpie to slutty pyscho believably. If you're looking for a sick time, check this one out.

Evil Come Evil Go (1972)

* (out of 4)

Insane sexploitation film has a God-loving woman calling herself Sister Sarah Jane (Cleo O'Hara) and she goes across the country teaching people that sex is evil. This Sister thinks the best way to teach people this lesson is by picking men up in bars, taking them to a motel and then cutting them up. Whenever you dive into the world of DVDs released by Something Weird you know you're going to get something weird and that's the case here. This is an extremely strange little film that features a lot of sex and nudity but very little plot. The idea of a religious nut going around killing people who have sex is something funny but not for a feature film. The plot here is enough for a short film but this here runs 72-minutes, which is just way too long as the film grows old very quickly. As is to be expected, the performances are all rather bad and the direction is even worse. The low-budget nature of the film doesn't leave for many pretty technical things but then again if you're watching something from Something Weird then you know this already. Another problem I had is that the lead actresses just aren't cute enough to carry this type of sexploitation film. If you're a fan of weird films then this here is certainly a must see but keep the remote handy.
