Format:DVD
The title sounds promising, but Evil doesn't really CALL, he texts - text's several British high school students that is advising them that they have won a free wish, all they have to do is make it and it'll be so.
With Sean Pertwee as a narrator, you'd expect this has to be at least a somewhat decent film since Sean Pertwee is a decent actor.
He must have joined this cast on an "off" day, however.
The story takes place in a series of very short stories of individual students who make their wishes and soon begin to die in horrendous ways relating to their wishes, or find the people they have ill-wishes towards being mutilated in horrible ways.
The fact is, as exciting as this may sound, almost every single death scene has ultimately been done before in horror movies, or comedies such as Scary Movie, and other such spoofs. This had the option to be very unique and it wasn't; the acting is also totally horrific and you get the feeling the movie is here simply for exploitation purposes.
If you're a guy, there's nude girls to gaze at while you're re-counting how many times you've seen these stories happen on different movies. If you're a girl, there's very little here for you, except perhaps a laugh or two, but even those are rare.
This is just gore for the sake of gore, and death for the sake of death - pretty crappy movie overall.

This is without a doubt the worst and most embarrassing film I've ever seen, tongue in cheek maybe but that doesn't mean boring and this film was definitely that. It was comprised of 20 episodes each of which had an embarrassing monologue from Sean Pertwee (the janitor) inbetween rambling about the general plot and pretending to be an alcoholic. I am not even sure why they bothered with the clown part (as pictured on the cover) as it was miniscule and unneccessary, I am a fan of cheesy horrors as much as the next person but where did this film get its funding?!

I have never written a review before, but was compelled with this one. Truly the worst film I've ever seen. Bad script, bad acting, bad effects; I am a huge film fan with over 500 dvds and can usually find something good to say about most films, but words fail me on this one. I only bought it because Sean Pertwee and Chris Barrie were in it, and I can't imagine why they were involved. It's not funny, it's not scary, it's just junk.

First of all, before I start this review proper, let me make one thing clear. I don't think clowns are scary. Some of them may be a bit weird but they are not scary. Read more

Better Than Expected
I wasn't expecting much of this film, in fact I wasn't even going to get it at first. Must say I was very pleased with the style of the film though, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Read more
