Life sucks for Stanley Coopersmith (the incomparable Clint Howard in the wildest role of his career), a teenage outcast who's bullied by everybody at the strict military academy he was sent to after his parents died. But when Stanley discovers the crypt of a 16th Century Satanist beneath the school's chapel, he creates a computerized Black Mass that unleashes unholy revenge upon his tormenters. Now, all Hell is breaking loose...and Stanley's flesh eating demon-pigs are only the beginning! R.G. Armstrong (CHILDREN OF THE CORN), Lenny Montana (THE GODFATERH) and Haywood Nelson (WHAT'S HAPPENING!) co-star in this sick shocker packed with plenty of heart-ripping, head-splitting splatter!
Prior to its U.S. theatrical release, the distributors of EVILSPEAK were forced to cut much of its graphic violence to avoid an 'X' rating from the MPAA. Anchor Bay now presents this gorehound favorite fully restored from newly discovered vault sources - including all of its long-rumored scenes of bloody carnage - and featuring a revealing audio commentary with Clint Howard and writer/producer/director Eric Weston. ..Uncut 2 Discs..

When will they ever learn? Never pick on the nerdy kid...,
By
This review is from: Evilspeak [1981] [DVD] (DVD)
This film made it onto the DPP's notorious list of banned films in the early 1980s. It was re-released some years later on video but in a heavily-cut version. Now horror fans can watch this film uncut thanks to Anchor Bay.
The film itself contains many of the `80s horror movie clichés - the nerdy kid who is always getting picked on, the naked girl in the shower, lots of daft plot elements that make no sense (how does he get all that computer equipment down to the basement single-handedly?) and masses of gruesome and over-the-top violence and gore. The plot is fairly simple - an orphaned nerdy kid (played by `Gentle Ben' star Clint Howard - the brother of Ron Howard) plots revenge on his tormentors at a military school by using a computer to summon up the ancient spirit of a Satanist (I always knew computers could be dangerous). When the computer screen displays the message "Data incomplete... human blood required" you just know that there is lots of bloody carnage in store. This film in its uncut form certainly does not disappoint on the gore front, particularly during the spectacular blood-drenched climax when Clint goes on the rampage with a huge broadsword. There is also a memorable scene where the aforementioned girl in the shower is attacked and eaten by a herd of ravenous wild boar! With this double-disc package you get two versions of this film but most horror fans will just really be interested in the uncut version. If you have not seen it, this is definitely worth checking out.

An entertaining uncut video nasty.,
By Richwicz "Vampix" (Chelmsford, Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Evilspeak [1981] [DVD] (DVD)
Evilspeak made it onto the official video nasty list, but in all honesty, even completely uncut, it's pretty tame stuff.If you want the full uncut version get the DVD released by Anchor Bay.It's an entertaining early 80's splatter flick about a young guy (Clint Howard) who's constantly bullied by his classmates and the staff at the military school where he's staying.One day, while cleaning the school basement he finds a dusty old book which opens a diabolical world of black magic up to him.Via the book and a computer he exacts his revenge on the school bullies who have made his life a misery, becoming possessed by the spirit of the Satanist who originally wrote the book.There's some nice gory deaths to round off the movie including: attacks by flesh-eating pigs, beheadings, heart-ripping, etc.I'd certainly say it's one of the better video nasties.

Movie Is The Best ever, This DVD Ruins It,
By
This review is from: Evil Speak [DVD] (DVD)
Before I bought it, I have heard very good things about this film, and this is the first dvd I got of it, and this version is absolutely terrible. There are at least 4 minutes cut, which in itself is absolutely disappointing. The picture and sound quality are absolutely terrible as well, the picture can jump from high quality to ultra low quality, and the sound can range from hearable, to absolutely quiet.
In conclusion, avoid this version of the DVD, it is pathetic, instead buy the 100 mins uncut version. It may be £[], but for this movie, it is totally worth it, this is one of the best films I have ever seen, and the 100 mins uncut does it complete justice.
