LAST SCREENING HERE AT 2514 SUNSET BLVD!
What if The Evil Dead was reimagined as a forgotten, mid-level horror paperback that you found at a thriftstore for 25 cents? That’s sort of the vibe of Forever Evil. Punching above its weight, this ambitious 1987 Texas horror epic combines heavy metal album cover special effects, off-brand Lovecraft mythos, and a novelesque plot into something uncannily familiar–it’s a film you feel you’ve seen even when watching it for the first time.
Is it too long? For some. Is it too boring? Maybe for the weak of heart. Does it feel birthed from some greater cosmic video store consciousness directly on to a VHS tape? Yes. Hence it’s the perfect movie to send the Whammy! Analog Media faithful onto bigger and better things!
Join crap lovers and film critics, Sarah Fensom and Chris Shields, for a glimpse of low-budget nirvana in a film that teaches you to never trust a real estate agent. There will be trivia, prizes, and maybe even an original song!
All hail Yog Kothag!
