3.0 out of 5 stars"Once you've been to hell, everything else pales in comparison!"
By West25 on 9 July 2011
Format: DVD
976-Evil is a 1988 horror movie about a kid called Hoax, he is constantly getting bullied at school and has no friends. It's hardly surprising with a name like Hoax, surely only a crazy lady could call her kid that. It turns out that Hoax's mum is a crazy religious nut, who took in her sister's child, Spike, when she died. Spike's a bit of a rebel, a cool cat who's much more popular than Hoax. To cut a long story short, the plot is about people that dial 976-Evil and gain satanic powers. Hoax rings the number and is overcome by his new powers and seeks revenge on all those who did him wrong, can Spike stop him before it's too late for everybody?

Hoax is played by Stephen Geoffreys who is probably best known for playing "Evil Ed" in Fright Night, he also spent most of the '90s "acting" in gay porn. He's a decent likeable actor and did well in 976-Evil, but he's very one dimensional and I can't see him in anything other than these type of roles. Perhaps that's the reason he couldn't get roles and turned to gay porn, once this cheesy type of horror movie faded as the '90s arrived. This is definitely Geoffreys' movie, but the supporting cast are very decent. Patrick O'Bryan and Sandy Dennis perform well, Lezlie Deane is a nice bit of eye candy and even gets her twin peaks out in a tame love scene.

Robert Englund who is better known for being Freddy Krueger made his directorial debut with this, considering the low budget and story I think he did a pretty good job. If you listen out for it, you can hear Englund's voice on the radio and in some of the phone calls. Some of the special effects are really poor, but there's an equal amount of decent bloody effects to balance it out. Some decent gore and nudity, nothing excessive.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDirected By Freddie
By Mr. Michael J. Russell on 17 Jan. 2015
Format: Amazon Video
Well, I knew it was going to be a 'different' movie straight away. It started off cheezy and maintained the same level of cheeze all the way through. Fantastic, just wonderful. This is the sort of film that has you chuckling all the way through. As they say, you couldn't make this stuff up and it's true, because it is exactly what you expect from start to finish - no surprises, just more cheeze!

3.0 out of 5 starsA seriously underrated horror for the first hour......
By Colonel Decker on 20 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The first thing any horror fan will notice is that 976 Evil has been directed by Robert Englund, who of course will forever be remembered as the one and only Freddy Krueger. This is Englund's directorial debut and 976 Evil was made between his starring roles in Elm Street Part 3 and Part 4.

The movie concerns a cool kid (think Kevin Dillion from The Blob- ironically released the same year) who finds a hororscope card and dials in. Slowly but surely whatever is said on the other line starts happening to him, but he doesn't take it too seriously. Unfortunetly his geeky cousin who lives opposite with his bible bashing mother finds the card and all hell literally is about to break loose. Just who or what is on the other side of the phone line?

This is a seriously underrated movie. It has good characters, decent acting and a fairly good script. The build up of several different characters is a real surprise, and there is hardly any gore. However the final half hour does bog us down somewhat, and the cool kid who has an interesting story arc is used less and less in favour of a bland detective and bland teacher investigating what is going on.

Englund injects some nice nods to horror film along the way with sly references from a few 80s classics that can be found in the projection room of the cinema. Lezlie Dean who plays the love interest and is perfectly cast here would go on to work with Englund three years later in FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE. Oh and if you have a phobia of spiders there is one scene that will definetly freak you out, so beware.
