The Evil (1978) is a movie that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a doctor who moves into an old mansion in the south to fix it up and open his new clinic. Unfortunately for him the spirits in the house may not want him there.
This movie is directed by Gus Trikonis (Moonshine Count Express) and stars Richard Crenna (Rambo: First Blood), Joanna Pettet (Casino Royale), Andrew Prine (Gettysburg), George O'Hanlon Jr. (Karate Kid II) and Cassie Yates (Magnum PI).
This is a bit of an uneven movie. I didn't feel there were enough kill scenes and the horror elements were lacking, but there were some scenes I enjoyed. The fire opening reminded me of The Burning. There is a good electrocution sequence, the hanging was fun and there's a unique rape scene. The ghost elements were dated. The acting was good and it was fun watching Richard Crenna in this. The storyline was okay.
Overall, this a slightly above average horror movie that I would recommend seeing once and score a 6/10.
