The Evil Within: Not to be confused with the video game franchise

This bizarre little horror certainly surprised me, within minutes I had no idea where the film was going or which sub-genre it would fall into.Starring Sean Patrick "As seen in a hundred b-movies" Flanery and Dina "Starship Troopers" Meyer this odd little tale follows Dennis a mentally limited young man and his descent into madness & violence.Heavily open to interpretation but well created this isn't for everyone and generally not the type of film I'd enjoy but by the end I was quite gripped.With a good twist and finale I wish I had liked this more than I did as you can tell a lot of effort went into it and the creator had some good ideas.Kudos as well to the young fella who plays the lead, hopefully he'll piggyback this movie on route to better things.The Good: Lead is fantastic Some great ideas The Bad: Flawed in placesThings I Learnt From This Movie: Dina Meyer must have p*ssed someone in Hollywood offI'm never going to be able to look at a ghost train the same way again

So very nearly a cult classic

Brilliant special effects and avant garde theatrics - this movie comes ever so close to being an instant cult classic. The brilliant, but ultimately annoying portrayal of the mentally retarded and easily manipulated Dennis puts the other poor acting and awkward scenes to shame however it does show an insidious subculture of deliberate manipulation and entrapment under the guise of a Tales from the Crypt style presentation. This could have been truly great.
