Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Let's be realistic.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

A motley bunch of young college news students check out the mysterious town of Acheron, a weird hamlet that's located in a remote fog-shrouded woodland area. They discover that not only is Acheron populated by an array of deadly and unrestful spirits who come out at night, but also that the ungodly place feeds on people's sins, wickedness, and deepest desires. Writer/director Tom Lewis concocts an effectively eerie and inspired take on the standard ghost town premise: he creates a strong and compelling creepy gloom-doom atmosphere which becomes more progressively unnerving and nightmarish as the plot unfolds, relates the intriguing story at a steady pace, further spices things up with a few modest lashings of grisly gore, and delivers one doozy of a surprise jolting ending. The capable acting from an appealing no-name cast rates as another substantial asset, with especially praiseworthy work by Brandon Largent as the decent, amiable Todd Harding, Laura Mazur as the troubled Courtney, Kathryn Carner as the bitchy Amber, America Young as the ruthlessly ambitious Misty, Tyler Lassiter as scruffy slacker Ruben, and Richard Kinsey as a sinister preacher. Royce Allen Dudley's sharp cinematography and Carlos Vivas' moody, spooky score are both on the money solid. Only some dodgy CGI effects detract a bit from this otherwise sound and enjoyable horror sleeper.

After watching this movie, I have often wondered what happens after you die if you haven't taken care of business. That fellow who played the Grim Reaper, obviously knew about Courtney's dark anger. That young guy with her, didn't see the Reaper until they came upon the mist of Achron. I am not religious but I believe in spirituality and in that movie, I am thankful that I have taken care of most of my sins through the 12 steps of AA recovery. I feel I was more moved by this movie as I seem to have a more deeper understanding of movies of this nature. Thanks to the producers who made this film as I was moved in a spiritual way. Ever ask yourself, if you did die in your sins, THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. Of all the people I have seen go in and out of AA, the one's who died in the return to active addiction. I wonder what is happening to them now. I won't know but I can only imagine that had I continued in my alcohol addiction and killed some innocent about 7 years ago(But for the grace of God I didn't). I could have done what Kevin did and killed myself by hanging in a prison cell. I know the dead still walk. While I was in prison in Saskatchewan, Canada, I felt an eerie presence and I noticed a ghost walk past my cell. So don't think that Evil's City is another religious movie. It rings some truth to it and obviously the writer or director had some personal experience that drove them to make such a movie which is why I rate it a 9.

Although I gave this movie a 1 because the director put in the horror Genre I couldn't help but laugh at the awful acting the saddest most hilarious part about this movie is that the best actors were the crazy Hillbillies that beat the hell out of Harding speaking harding the other characters had some sort of hatred for this man because if you pay attention the three phrases you hear most in the movie are "Harding your an a**hole" "Hey Harding F*ck you" "Harding acts like a 5 year old" The movie also has randomly disappearing characters,Name Changes,obvious picture cropping,misleading plot,awful sounds,windows that break but actually are just copy and pasted triangles flying through the air well anyway if you watch this you will be sure to laugh its a riot trust me!

I like to mix up my horror movies between good and bad. Usually I will buy a couple of each and spend the day switching between trash and legit movies. I will admit finding Evil's City new for $6 made me think it was going to be horrible, but I was quite surprised with it.It's basically about a group of kids that travel to an abandoned town called Acheron. The town itself is supposed to be pure evil, and soon all the dead come back to life at night. Then they have to try to figure out if and how they can escape.Obviously low budget horror, but done very well, obviously by someone with a passion for the genre. The actors are above average for this type of flick as well. The sets and locations are actually creepy and well thought out too. My only complaint is the sound is sorta all over the place at times, but it's easily forgiven and doesn't take away from the movie.If you can enjoy modern tripe like Demon Child 666, Blood Gnome, or Satan's Little Helper, then give this one a shot.
