Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

dbdumonteil It was obviously made to capitalize on the success of "the omen" : the "hero",a two-bit Damien, epitomizes wooden acting.When he tries to be scary,it's worse.Apart from "the omen" ,the movie borrows from other horror movies ,including "the night of the living dead" and" Rosemary's baby" (the scene where the girl sees her scratched back in the mirror)."Fear no evil" is preachier than any other "religious" horror movie.The unbearable Margaret keeps on quoting the bible all the time.Besides ,they play a mystery on the beach as they did in the cathedrals in the Middle-Ages.The last third has little connection with what happened in high school .Take "the omen" (1976) instead.

AngryChair Teenager is the son of Satan and he's plotting a demonic uprising, while a teen girl and a local old woman are actually angels sent to stop him.Fear No Evil is an interesting oddity among the numerous teen horror flicks of the early 80's. For one, it's not a slasher movie. Fear No Evil is a low-budget, but well done throw back to the Gothic horror films of Hammer given a touch of the modern. The storyline is compelling, with some touches of nicely artistic direction from first time director Frank LaLoggia. Still, it's flawed by some awkward moments of silliness (death-by-dodge ball, shower make out) and some supporting performances that aren't as good as those of the leads.The best of the cast are Stefan Arngrim as our devilish villain and Elizabeth Hoffman as the elder angel desperate to stop him. Daniel Eden is also memorable as the school bully who gets a most crazy demise.Fear No Evil is a unique entry in the teen horror genre. Though it's not flawless, thanks to its low budget, it still has enough imagination to be a entertaining and memorable late night movie.** 1/2 out of ****

jynx242 Caught this the other afternoon and really enjoyed it. A tad bit slow in some spots, but the "slow" parts really were developing the story. It had a good creepy atmosphere, some totally weird stuff happening, some gore, some nudity (male and female) and a plot. The ending was a "special effects extravaganza" straight from the 80's, but I enjoyed that as well. I certainly couldn't see anything like this being made today, so I'm grateful that it was made at all.If you get the chance, I'd recommend renting it or watching it on cable. It's cheesy, but it's also creepy and tells a good story. The actors range from passable to good, and they get the story across. It really had everything I could ask for from an 80's horror flick.

Skutter-2 Fear no Evil is on the whole a drab little early eighties horror movie but it does have a number of bizarre and/or memorable scenes buried in it, particularly toward the end. For a low budget eighties horror movie it sure sets it sights high, revolving around the battle between Lucifer who has been reincarnated in human form on earth after his fall from grace and three arch angels- Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, who have also been born into human form. However, it is an obviously cheap little film and is unable to pull of the story with any of the grandeur or scale you might expect.Very little happens for most of the movie. Lucifer hangs around acting evil (Well dorky and non-expressive) but does very little. Apparently we are partly meant to think is weird and creepy because he gets good grades and isn't a pothead loser like the rest of the 'kids' at his school. We spend a fair bit of time watching some of his various school mates arsing around- drinking, screwing, showering etc, although these characters don't end up playing a particularly big role in things to come. They aren't really set up as opponents or even tormentors of Lucifer (Other than one rather odd scene) and are rather quickly dispatched in the end movie carnage.There is a tiny bit of Omen style shenanigans, including a death bu doge-ball scene, but other than in a couple of instances Lucifer/Andrew doesn't really use his powers until the climactic conflagration. It seems almost like they were trying for a tormented loner vibe to go along with the satanic theme, trying to combine Carrie and the Omen, but if so it was badly done. There is a bizarre homo-erotic shower scene which is really the only overt humiliation we Lucifer suffer at the hands of his school mates, other than a few other scenes in which they are shown to be cold and unfriendly toward him but not overly cruel or aggressive. They understandably seem more wary of his cold and creepy demeanor. A large amount of running time is devoted to the reincarnations of Michael, the old woman and Gabriel, who has taken the form of a teenage girl, one of Lucifer's schoolmates. Having two of the nominally male angels take the from of women is an interesting plot development for the movie- this and some other bits in the movie make me wonder if the makers were trying to tap into to some themes of gender roles and sexuality but I have absolutely no idea exactly how or why. Things get a bit more interesting toward the end as Lucifer unleashes his powers upon the mortal realm. The dead rise from the grave, a passion of the Christ pageant goes bloodily wrong, people go crazy, one individual undergoes a truly bizarre transformation, animals are sacrificed and there is an over the top light show for the climax, complete with bad eighties visual effects, which makes very little sense.It's a pity that most of the movie is so tedious as there are a lot of over the top bizarre scenes, such as the shower scene, the dodge-ball scene and most of the climax which are amusing to watch even just for the WTF factor. As the video box and most reviews of this movie boast it has an impressive soundtrack for such dreck featuring music from popular bands such The Sex Pistols, U2, The B52s, The Ramones, the Talking Heads and others. Also of note is the fact that although he only made two other movies writer/director Frank LaLoggia apparently had a small role as a thug in The Wizard of Speed and Time, perhaps the most evil movie ever made. Just what kind of satanic connections did this guy actually have?
