Evil Angel

This movie is 2h and 10 minutes long and it drags to tell a simple story of possession and jumping from one body to the next.

No its not a bad movie but its way to long for its own good and its been done a million times but a lot better then this one.

If you are a fan of Ving Rhames, you cannot go wrong with this I guess. But if you are not so much, he won't convince you with this movie, that he is an actor to be looking out for. And while the movie looks good (nice cinematography and set design, considering the small budget this must have had), it never really takes off.

So while not entirely a bad movie, it depends on how many movies you are watching on a regular basis, to really justify you watching this. Most people won't bother from the get go (apart from the aforementioned Rhames fans) and the rest might be more than disappointed when watching this. Still nice turns (for a small independent movie) and executed well enough, not to be a complete waste (of time)

I had no idea what to expect from this film. The opening credits consisted of a woman writhing around naked. As the credits came up on screen one of them stated "You're not even reading this". This is something that wouldn't be out of place in a spoof. It was a nice chuckle, but gave a false idea of what to expect. The film succeeds in actually trying to squeeze out some drama and internal conflicts between it's protagonists. On top of that you have a demon possession, mass murder plot going down. It's all fairly entertaining, if predictable. The cast are solid, but not always convincing. All I can say for sure, is that I quite liked it.

This movie starts off rather messy and irritating but as soon as it found its path, there was some entertainment value. Ava Gaudet was gorgeous and did a great job portraying the suicidal wife of her husband and especially towards the end her performance was pretty good. The rest of the cast was decent too but she definitely stood out.

There is a recurring effect where the face turns all demon and creepy looking which looked a little messy but not too bad, also there are some practical body parts and gore in general that looked nice and realistic. However the movie still feels like there was lots of improvement possible and the overall runtime of over two hours was definitely way too long and could have been cut to 90 minutes or maybe even less. For that reason I think that this movie is definitely no masterpiece but it's also not terrible either and I think certain audiences will enjoy it mostly. [5,1/10]

I was expecting more from the movie, as it looked so promising. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not a bad movie. Quite the contrary. The movie is quite good, and got some nice effects.

The movie suffered from a lack of thrills or scares. There were some fairly cool-looking scenes, but there were no building up to scares. You could pretty much see everything coming a mile away. And the ending? Well, it was amazingly predictable.

But still, the movie was not a waste of time. It has a good story, that keeps going at a good pace. You are never bored throughout the movie. And there are some really nice gory scenes and effects as well.

For me, what really made it worth it was Ving Rhames, as usual he did a good job.

If you got nothing better to do for an evening and want to watch a fairly straight forward "by the Hollywood book" horror movie, sit down and watch "Evil Angel".
