The Evil in Us (2016)

Overrated and overhyped

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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.

http://volteface.me/features/spice-real- problem-poverty/ This film is a modern horror film made on A moderate budget. What it has going for it itself is the satire on politics and the war on drugs. While the media boasts tales of cannabal krocodiles and right wing war mongering. This film tries to put this into a satirical documentary. Where it fails is in regards to the psychedelic experience particular in relation to Stamford prison experiment or mk ultra. But in a day and age where drug addicts are conveniently named zombies by the media this film takes some steps to laugh at this and even suggest there is more emotional depth to a pychotic drug user. Also the best question it raises is can politicians use psychedelic experience to focus on world domination and dictatorship.

evil tea party leader and republican governor of Texas creates a virus attached to cocaine that makes people cannibals we have a pseudo "cabin in the woods" b- movie with teenagers eating each other .....yeah that is it.....thank god i didn't pay for the movie....this piece of trash will stop at nothing to smear conservatives....this isn't worth any stars and the producers should be sued for lying to the public in such a way nothing much happens in 1.5 hours....kids go to a lake ....take cocaine and become cannibals for 24h meanwhile the tea party governor of Texas who runs a separate testing lab goes on television about the war on terrorism and drug.....etc...because we all know it is your average tea party member that goes around spreading terrorist drugs on the young

My quick rating - 5,0/10. Sheer moments of brilliance in this movie get dragged down by some really bad casting and lack of continuity. The opening credits absolutely drag you in. Shot and edited wonderfully I really just wish whoever was responsible stuck around for the whole film. The story itself is nothing new. This time a group of people head to a cabin in the woods (not too cliché, right? ) for a fun filled weekend. Of course this includes the usual, drinking, sex, oh, and a virus laced bag of cocaine that turns your average paranoid user into a zombie like rage freak who only knows killing. The first crime scene found in the wake of a night of partying is a gorefest with one of the worst looking compound fractures I recall seeing in along time. Unfortunately this is where the lack of continuity kicks in. Great looking scenes like this that get lost in overdrawn pointless moments of which character can act like a bigger snob. The pacing really dragged at times and this gets distracting up until it really gets going. That being said, I found myself interested throughout and at the end you realize after being drawn into a mediocre horror film, you just watched the longest, most violent anti-drug commercial with a huge underlying tone of slamming American politics in recent history. Still worth a view if nothing better is on and for being an indie budget flick it does pack a decent punch and solid message.
