not your average bad b movie

"Prime Evil" came in a boxed set of bad "b" movies. The hope was that it would be at minimum watchable. It met those expectations. The plot was complicated enough, and the format was such that it succeeded in building suspense. This is a horror movie without too much horror, and it is presented without any gratuitous violence. I liked the tale told from a feminine perspective. The reality is that, similar to "Rosemary's Baby", it is a tale that could actually be. That perhaps is where the horror creeps in, in retrospect. The cast was decent and had skills beyond that of your typical bad "b" film. Was I glad I watched it? Yes. Would I watch it again? Probably.

I actually did like this movie storywise. The story was fascinating and had great potential. I just wish the acting could've been a bit better. None of the cast except Father Seaton did particularly good in their roles which let me know "this is just a movie" so it didn't feel authentic to me. I like to feel as if what I'm watching on the screen is really happening right before my eyes but I couldn't do this film because the acting took me out of it. I normally don't notice when people point out bad acting so for it to stick out to me so much is really an accomplishment. But the rest of the film was okay.
