1.0 out of 5 stars complete crap!, 15 Jan 2009
This has got to be the worst film i've ever watched. I picked it up thinking it looked like a good horror unfortantly it was anything but! It was really anoying with that weird bloke/caretaker telling you the story & narrating it. Then the film doesn't go all the way through as it's not a complete film it's just loads of little clips adding to the story. I mean come on it looks like it's home made, the actors are little kids trying to act totaly non beleivable. It was so bad me & my boyfriend actualy smashed up the disk so no one else would stumble upon this tragic peice of trash.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely appalling!, 21 Jul 2008
Since i'm the first to write a review for this film, i hope it becomes enough of a deterrant to help suspecting buyers from buying and wasting their hard earned wonga on this pathetic result of a film.
D'ont get me wrong i'v seen some bad films in my time but this is so dreadfully poor in all aspects there is ABSOLUTELY NONE redeeming value at all!

The structure of the film is jagged, non-fluant and constantly inturupted by the ending of every chapter by apparantly returning to a stupid narrator who takes even less seriously the plot of the film than the main teenage inexperianced cast (cracking jokes) talking rubbish and with studidly close up camera angles, this would you believe in a film! it's diabolical to say the least, but it's true!

After 2 or 3 minutes we will once again return to the film where the plot will repeat itself time and time again in a totaly predictable way, cut-up like this for the 20 chapters, the gore is laughable with kiddies style tomato ketchup execution, the performance of the cast is undoubtably the worst, obviously their first time on camera.

Amazingly at one point in the film the school girl is actually laughing when her supposidly best friends face burns while on fire, when she was trying to look as if she was screaming!
Another cringe point in the film was a truly bad stunt involving a school girl leaving hospital with acid burns, where her carer let go of her wheel chair where she rolls into an ambulance which clearly wasnt going fast enough to kill her.

All in all the film is a draft carbon-copy, low budget trash that i'v had the real misfortune to stumble upon! The film has no redeeming qualities and i ask every customer thinking of buying this, to not buy this and waste money.
Even an average horror film is light years better than this It's that bad you'd have to be paid to wanna own it and even then you'd want to break it into a million pieces.

The worst film i have ever seen belongs to this, i wanted to give this film zero stars but i can't, i am compelled to publish this review as it has left me with a bitter taste in the mouth. AVOID AT ALL COSTS FOLKS!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 18 Jun 2009
By Dismal Angel "Ash" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
  
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.
