The Evil in Us (2016)

While this began with a decent premise and unlike other reviewers, I did not hate all of the characters, the director's need to ram his political beliefs down our throats at the end of the movie turned what was just a bad movie into a terrible one. Don't waste your time with this piece of crap.

This is a cabin-in-the-wood flick where sexy young people kill each other because a bag of cocaine laced with a psychoactive element makes them all go crazy and hunger for flesh. It's shot like a TV movie and none of the actors have the range to do anything besides "YEAH BOOOIIIIIII" and "OH MY GOD MY BOYFRIEND IS EATING ME." However, the gore effects are good and there's enough schlock factor that I would have still given this a 5 if it wasn't for the incredibly stupid twist at the end.Basically, a cartoonishly evil Texas republican is lacing popular drugs such as cocaine and weed with cannibal juice so that he can cause mass hysteria and use his anti-drug agenda to get elected president, with the bonus that all of the young reefer democrats will be too busy eating each other to vote. It's like a liberal version of those Pureflix Christian movies where the villains are always cartoonishly evil atheists who hate all religion because reasons.This could have been worth a 90 minute sit on a rainy day, but the filmmakers just couldn't resist crowbarring their exceptional political agenda at the last minute. Don't bother.

I watch A LOT of scary movies and not a lot of them are worth watching. I watched this movie mainly because i thought it was going to be another typical stupid scary movie that i have been watching lately....this movie was by far amazing!.....it kept me on the edge of my seat..there were a couple cheesy moments but overall it made me glued to what was going to happen next!....this movie is based on something that was really happening a real drug called flakka so I was over the top excited about it....and it had everything I liked from gore to suspense...it was my type if movie by far one of my favorite movies and that's a lot for me to say considering that I am a HORROR FREAK...people judge a lot by acting and quality and what not I mean I do too but the overall things I like is if the movie captures me and giving me that thrill has a good story line that makes me want seconds...amazing story line and loved the gore...#everythinggore LOVED it!

How many times is this old chestnut going to be rehashed? It's a weak story-line and when it's set in the middle of nowhere, you know that they had zero budget to work with. Even if you'd thrown money at this, the concept wouldn't have been worth it. That said, the acting is fairly good and I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the cast didn't go on to better things - although, the only way is up for this lot, as far as their acting careers go! I think the evil mastermind behind the plot, was the worst actor of the lot, managing to overact his (small), wobbly-headed part astronomically badly. If you've got no pins left to stick into your eyes and nowhere left on your body to self-harm, this might be worth a watch. If I'd paid to see this at the cinema, I'd be a bit annoyed and I'd hunt down the five-year-old who produced the script and take his crayons away indefinitely. Don't rush out and buy this, or even pay to see it, unless you have zero expectations of life, or think Adam Sandler is funny, in which case you will love it. The movie will probably exceed it's budget in sales, but that won't be hard.
