Evangeline

I think maybe the people who put this thing together wanted to tell the story of a woman scorned. I'm guessing that there was some sort of proverb, or old wives tale, possibly from an Asian culture, that fed into this idea, as well. I'm also guessing that the writer and director wanted us as viewers to travel emotionally with Evangeline throughout this film.

I say these things, because they never actually made themselves apparent.

If you've seen "The Crow" or "Jennifer's Body," skip this one. At least then, you won't have to watch those in the future and be reminded of this.

However, if you want to take notes on what to avoid when making a movie, please, indulge. You'll learn how to create a movie containing one dimensional characters, no back story, plot lines that come out of no-where and disappear mid stream, and a general feeling of "what the...?" when the credits start rolling.

Tip of the hat. Good day.

Acting was terrible and the plot wasn't original at all. I would it a negative rating if only it were possible so this one star is very generous! This is a new low for low budget movies!

"I'm not your slave," says Mark.

"Yeah you are," says Shannon.

So much about this is good - if only a bit more effort was made to allow it to make some degree of sense. True, disorientation can be frightening, but it would be more satisfying to have at least something to hold onto.

It appears to be a revenge slasher, artfully filmed and directed by Karen Lam. It may also be seen to be anti-male. The only honourable man here is Mark (Anthony Shim), who is nevertheless treated as a lapdog by his girlfriend Shannon (Mayumi Yoshida). See this review's opening quote. Of course, this could be something to do with the other role played by Yoshida.

This is a film that exists entirely in its own world. The antagonists do exactly as they wish as brazenly as they like because there are no authority figures present, no rules, and no police.

It's a shame that the care and attention that went into making this production look so good, and the decent acting on display, all culminate in something that doesn't gel, that wilfully doesn't attempt much in the way of logic and that ultimately emerges as a bit of a chore to sit through. My score is 5 out of 10.

In a very, very bad mix! I see some positive reviews on Evangeline, so I'll try not to fully bash it, but in my honest opinion, this was down right bad!

The camera work looks terrible and annoying. There is pretty much no acting to mention, no real dialogue, the plot is used and badly executed, the killings are a joke, the ending fits the movie. Will be one of my shorter comments cause I have pretty much nothing good to say about it, so I'll just give you a warning here.

Stay away from this one. It fails on all levels!

Cheers!

Whoa Nelly, Where to start! The acting, believe it or not is not that bad (standard low budget fare), but everything else is an absolute mess. the storyline, continuity, direction, screenplay and worst of all the editing are horrendous. It all adds up to a pile of 💩
