I don't think Evilenko is a bad movie exactly. However, considering that it's based on real events and real people and Citizen X is also based on the same...Citizen X is a more accurate and comprehensive telling of the story. Evilenko is a run of the mill serial killer film and is clearly far more of a fictionalization. It's a horror/suspense/drama inspired by the real story, as opposed to a reporting of it. Citizen X goes a lot farther to portray the events and people involved in detail and explore the political and social climate that allowed the real killer to get away with his crimes for so long. It also attempts to explore the psychology of the killer in much more depth.
Just my personal opinion, if you're comparing the films against each other. Considering Citzen X was made roughly a decade ago and Evilenko is relatively new and low key in the public eye, I don't think there's any need to slander anyone over it.
