It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Evil Never Dies (2003) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Made for TV take on the Frankenstein story has an early performance by Katherine Heigl from Knocked Up fame and this is the only reason I watched this but the movie turned out to be pretty good. Thomas Gibson plays a cop who has his life turned upside down after a serial killer murders his wife. The killer dies via lethal injection but a nutty scientist steals his body and eventually brings him back to life. Once alive, the killer goes after the cop who has now befriended a woman (Heigl) who helped in the scientist's experiment. I wasn't expecting too much out of this film but some tight direction really picks this up and makes this better than most of your made for TV films out there. The opening sequence with the cop's wife getting murdered contains some nice suspense and the director does a great job at building the scene. The movie goes by at a very fast pace and Gibson makes for a good leading character. Heigl adds nice support as well. The film's biggest problem are some incredibly stupid plot holes that take place to make the cop look crazy. These scenes come off pretty badly and are just downright stupid but outside of this the film works on many levels.

I watched this movie strictly on a default basis - there was nothing else on! What a pleasant surprise! I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. Excellent acting, good plot twists. Very high quality for a made for TV movie.

I'd give "Evil Never Dies" 3 stars out of 5. At first I was disappointed. 1. It seemed like a typical "made for tv Superstation movie." and 2. I felt like the writer/ director had made some mistakes that made the plot harder to follow.However, I was wrong. Stick with the movie. It WILL make sense in the end. Probably less action movie than the typical Superstation fare, "Evil Never Dies" gives your brain something to work out.

I saw this movie on Sunday Evening on TBS. I am a big fame of Made-for-TV movies and this is one of the better ones. The actors were established but the plot was predictable. I thought the locations in Melbourne Australia were good. There were a few loopholes in the movie but considering the entire concept of awakening from the dead is incredible-I guess these can be forgiven
