Necessary Evil

But then again it was Lance Henriksen - and I would forgive him anything. Big smile :-D

It's about time the IMDb stopped with the minimum line length for reviews: it only encourages crap. Okay, this was a very B movie that I watched only because I absolutely love Lance Henriksen. Or is it Lance Hendrikson? Has that gained me another few characters? This is a very B Movie but that voice makes any movie he appears in worth watching, in my opinion. :-)

Have I got to 10 lines of text yet? Sheesh: watch this if you love Lance. Otherwise, don't bother.

I viewed "Necessary Evil" the other day and I must say, I rather enjoyed the experience.

Smart, unpredictable, and multi-layered, I saw it as a statement about the ever-growing, ubiquitous presence of pharmaceuticals in our daily lives, couched inside a creepy thriller.

The film unfolds through multiple viewpoints and weaves a tale of corruption and conspiracy with supernatural roots.

As usual, Lance Henriksen delivers a strong performance.

The film certainly has its share of flaws. But all in all, I recommend it.

This was a very clever,intriguing mystery that just kept unravelling,it kept me guessing & excited,a very well crafted,well-plotted little B-movie Gem. The mixing of Genres is clever & fun. A cool unusual plot of a corrupted pharmaceutical company & a dark insane Asylum linking to missing people & monster Dna testing!!! Great,pure late night B-movie fun.

There's parts sci-fi Thriller,parts Monster Horror & parts Detective Mystery all weaved together very cleverly. Lance Henrikson is great as usual,he's a B-movie icon & lifts this cheap flick higher with a very cool,sinister performance & i loved his gravelly voice telling the story,very cool.

We are treated to another B-movie,Cult hero legend,Danny Trejo who i love watching in anything & the reason i brought this on dvd. Trejo is Cool here as a bad guy,tough mercenary working for Lance Henrikson's evil scientist. It's not a huge part but his role is done well & he's the 2nd "Name" actor of the movie as the other cast members are unknown-to me anyway.

Necessary Evil is a fun,unfolding Mystery full of twists & turns & conspiracy theories,Ancient Monsters, tough mercenaries,mad scientists, Detectives & a very sinister but Fun turn by Henrikson & a Cool,tough Trejo!!! Well worth checking out if you like B-movies or those 2 actors. Good solid film.

great movie A+++++++++ director did a fantastic job.

i would also recommend seeing gravity and sweet good fortune they all are great.

i would recommend all these movies to somebody who really enjoys a great movie.

movies have a great plot and necessary evil really shows that with great suspense and the acting was perfect.

the movie was smart and unpredictable had a different twist to it than most movies.

id give this movie a 10

Having re-watched this movie just recently, I thought I should add a review. I am not a film critic, by any means, I just know what I like. And I like this. Lance Henriksen is always good. This role was suited for him in every way and I can't wait to see where they take this in the future. The idea of how much pharmaceuticals play in our lives makes for a good story. The movie paced good enough to keep me interested throughout. Timing was perfect. The actors did a good job of really bringing the scrip to life, and Lance Henriksen's narration, gave the movie a nice creepiness that played well with the theme. I look forward to a sequel with Lance Henriksen reprising the role and Peter Eaton at the helm.
