फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
I found Evilspeak to be quite a weird sort of horror film but also a good film. A clumsy military cadet called Stanley Coopersmith who happens to be socially outcast at the West Andover Academy, and is an orphan. He is always abused and humiliated by four despicable friends, and even has bad treatment from his teachers, the coach, the colonel and even the local reverend. When Coopersmith finds a book of black mass that belonged to the evil medieval Father Esteban, he uses a computer to conjure Satan and revenge his harassers. He finds a way to tap into a computer to summon demons and cast spells on his tormentors. that involves man eating pigs and Satanism. this ended up being a very good horror movie towards the end. 5/10
Stanley Coopersmith (Clint Howard) is a young cadet at a military academy. Unfortunately, he's also an orphan and a total clod, both of which make him easy prey for a clique of sadistic idiots. Stanley is tormented without mercy.
Serendipitously, he happens upon a dark secret beneath the academy's church building, where he acquires arcane knowledge. Stanley then uses a computer to allow a long-dead Satanist named Esteban (Richard Moll) to possess him.
From here on, it's payback time!
Behold! A nosy secretary being eaten by savage swine! See! A Colonel's head popped like a bulging pimple! Watch! As craven thugs are exterminated in grisly ways! If you've ever been the victim of mindless bullies and longed for satisfaction, this is the movie for you! EVILSPEAK is also a showcase for Howard, who makes it a true uber-nerd triumph!
Co-stars R.G. Armstrong in another disgruntled role as Sarge...

Evilspeak is great flick. :-) It was very hip for its time. I loved the hell out of this movie. Coopersmith is totally the MAN. Clint Howard definitely showed his range here. If you like scary movies for the fun of it, this is the one. Remember, COOPERSMITH... WILL... RETURN!
Just how bad can a film be when the main force of evil is a herd of killer PIGS from Hell???? The story is way too silly to be horrifying, the dialogue is pretty laughable, the acting mostly reeks, and the production values are super-cheap! In other words, it's bad movie heaven....one of those "so bad, it's good!" guilty pleasures that you laugh AT as much as WITH.
And of course, it stars Clint Howard....what more needs to be said?

An orphaned boy at a military academy in SoCal (Clint Howard) is harassed, so he uses a computer in the dark basement of the citadel to conjure up evil power for succor.
The curious title of "Evilspeak" (1981) was derived from the phrase "computer-speak," obviously because the kid uses an old computer to work his black magic. The flick attempts to be the male version of "Carrie" (1976) just switching from telekinetic powers to devilish witchcraft. Unfortunately, it lacks the coherence, weightiness and power of that 70's horror hit.
There's something about the storytelling that holds it back. The basic plot of a youthful outcast getting even with his/her tormentors is a surefire foundation, but the way it's told is not very compelling, which I suppose isn't helped by the muddled diabolic gobbledygook and the hint of cheesy bemusement.
The stunning Lynn Hancock stands out in the feminine department as a secretary at the school, Miss Friedemeyer. Lynn experimented with acting a handful of times in 1980-1982 before leaving the profession for other pastures. A few other notable lasses appear during a beauty contest for the cadets.
The movie officially runs 1 hour, 37 minutes, but there are several cuts of the film available. It was shot at Saint Anthony Seminary in Santa Barbara, California, as well as Chatworth, which is about 55 miles east in northwestern Los Angeles.

- ट्रिवियाAccording to Clint Howard and director Eric Weston, the original cut of the film which he submitted to the ratings board contained even more footage than the uncut DVD release, including more special effects, as well as extensions of the bathtub death scene and the cadet having his heart ripped out. But their labored efforts to find a copy of this version have proven futile, and they believe it is likely gone forever.

- इसके अलावा अन्य वर्जनThe original pre-cert rental release of Evilspeak was uncut. The 1987 UK video release was cut by three minutes and 34 seconds by the BBFC. The cuts were: two mins two secs of a young maiden having her head chopped off, 58 mins one secs of a shot of the basement bloke having his neck broken, 65 mins 23 secs of pigs attacking woman in bath and eating her guts. 88 mins 19 secs of the priest have a nail in the head and shots of him. 90 mins four secs of a teacher having his head splatted by Coopersmith. 90 mins 21 secs of a pig eating the fat kid. 91 mins nine secs of a kid breaking a window, 91 mins 18 secs of pigs eating, 91 mins eight secs of another head chop, 92 mins 18 secs of a kid banging on a door to escape, 92 mins six secs of a fourth head chop, 92 mins eight secs of a kid being eaten in an air vent, 92 mins two secs of a kid running from pigs, 93 mins 11 secs of heart ripping. 95 mins eight secs of Coopersmith's digital image. The credits have been speeded up (but not even the uncut one got the timing right on the letters appearing) Normal credit sequence = two mins 30 secs, speeded up credits = one min 15 secs. The initial 2004 Anchor Bay DVD saw most of the cuts waived, though the version submitted had been re-edited by the distributor. Later the same year the film was submitted again, this time containing the original print and including all the graphic violence, and was passed uncut by the BBFC.
