One of the best horror-movies ever made


a real ghost movie

It scared the crap out of me as a kid, just one of those movies that stuck with me.

"The Evil" is a genuinely scary and superior supernatural horror film which doesn't deserve its current obscurity. I keep hoping this fine fright flick would come out on DVD already.

Don't expect much and you will never be disappointed.

I watched this movie when I was maybe 5 years old and I loved it!Luckily I still have this movie on VHS and I watch it very often. It is one of the best horror movies for sure!

I disagree

it looks very dated

duh- Xcalate 1776 - of course it's dated- it's old (comparatively speaking.)

But in a similar way the original "The Haunting" was scary. Not a lot of gore, just suspense and a creepiness. Many people's affections (including my own) for this movie are because they saw it when it first came out & they were young. Pretty scary stuff for a 12 year old... back in 1978. Nowadays kids watch real beheadings on cnn.com

Dated is good, and this film is decent but not spectacular.

I remember renting this in the early 90's. It had a cool cover.

Very good film. You never really hear people talk about it though. A forgotten film.
