There are actually two films on this DVD: Evilmaker and Abomination: Evilmaker II. John Bowker, director, had the first part “in the can” and the script ready for part two, and since they had most of the cast present; they decided to film part two at the same time.
In part one, four lovely ladies (Serena, Rachel, Cindy and Tyler) decide not to go to the coast for their three-day break, but do something a little bit different: strike out for the unknown and see what happens. Of course, the van breaks down, leaving them stranded. They decided to walk to the nearest house which lies at the end of a dead end street. The occupants aren’t home and they make themselves comfortable. Rachel is one who believes in spirits and spends a good part of her time with Tarot cards, trying to predict the future. She dresses in goth style and becomes the evil doer in the movie. Mayhem ensues.
The camera work is all done on video but well shot. The use of video adds more realism to the finished product. I believe this will help Evilmaker grow into a cult favorite.
Part two takes up where the first left off. After the demise of the women in Evilmaker, Serena, the sister of Rachel, is determined to get to the bottom of what caused their deaths. She’s been having visions and they are getting stronger. She is pulled back to the house where it all started. Her husband lets her go but follows her. When he arrives, the Evilmaker enters his body and makes him do some very strange things. Rachel reappears and plays a double roll as an avenger and a savior from the wrath of the Evilmaker.
I thought with the face on the cover of Evilmaker, I’d be scared when I watched this little delight. Having watched the bloopers and behind-the-scenes before hand, I wasn’t scared even a little bit. Outside of those two items, there are no other bonus features.
I’d rate this favorably overall but it’s not spooky enough. There are laughable parts where it seems that the director wanted exactly that emotion. He got it from me, and I’m sure you’ll laugh in the same places. Both Evilmaker and Evilmaker II form a “good-fun” DVD to sit back and enjoy.
