Only a few of you will remember how hard was to summon Satan using a dial-up modem. You kids have it easy these days.
This happened to my buddy Eric.
Love this Satan computer military academy set Clint Howard Carrie revenge vehicle with its weirdo pig murder shower scene, chapel with a 16th century satanist crypt below it, and insane finale of fire and sword pulverized heads. Flies by and delivers the goods with its atmosphere and computer black mass revenge where jabroni bully bootlickers get what’s coming to them plus an always welcomed appearance by the great R.G. Armstrong.
Haven’t watched this in 4 or 5 years and it ended up being the Perfect Friday night ambrosia antidote for an insanely exhausting day.
COOPERDICK.
I thought I hadn’t seen this before, but as soon as that satanic chant popped up on the ol’ Apple ][, it all came flooding back to me. This is basically an all-male version of Carrie with Satan replacing telekinesis and it’s pretty decent. Clint Howard is the perfect choice for the lead, but his character is bullied so relentlessly for so long that you really have to wonder what takes him so long to snap. I would have gone crazy on them at the mere mention of hurting my pet, mmkay? 0 to CRIMINAL in about a half a second, but that’s just me.
The ending is phenomenal and he sure does get his revenge game right on point.…
Spooktober II: To Hell With the 80s
Firstly, I understand why many people see this film as complete and utter trash. The premise is very weak, and things only get interesting at the end. The sluggish pace makes this 90 minute film feel longer than it is.
However, maybe it's because of my own beliefs, but a lot of this movie made me feel uncomfortable. It's probably nothing more than the residual guilt from "The Lord of Salem" still lingering in my conscience. But the performances and the mood of the film felt very unsettling, even if I enjoyed the goofiness that permeates this film, especially those regarding our pathetic protagonist.
However, the ending for me makes it all worthwhile.…
A heady mix of Satanic horror and eighties computer graphics. Evilspeak could be described as the male version of Carrie, with its base plot that involves a tormented military school cadet finding a way to take revenge on his bullying classmates. Everything that is good about this film comes from the weirdness surrounding the main narrative thrust. From the military school founded by an exhiled Spanish Satanist, to the chapel basement which is apparently some sort of shrine to all the various strange scenes involving pigs, including a part where a woman is eaten in a bathtub. Evilspeak totally and unashamedly goes all in with the concept of this embattled kid raising Satan using a clunky old computer, with the…
This ended up being better than I thought it would be. Something about the cover even back in the day kept me from watching this. It's actually a pretty dumb fun movie. Who doesn't like Satan and computers right. I will admit it's a a slow burn. The end of the movie is great. If you like weird 80s horror give this one a shot.
kudos for them already knowing in '81 how evil that whole internet thing gonna be like
EVILSPEAK!!! AHHHHHHHH! Clint Howard tearing up screen with endless ferocity. I love this strange little film and I'm forever grateful it was restored to blu ray. Can I get a hallelujah???
Lots of weird shite goes down in this film and no one can truly be certain of the actual plot. Evil cults, possessed computers, killer pigs, lots of beheadings, nerdy Clinty, black magic mumbo jumbo and a whole lot of other stuff too. Poor Clinty is picked on and bullied so he slowly boils up into a rage machine evil possessed nut case. His revenge is sweet as he hurricanes through town in a murderous gory rampage (takes a while but he gets there eventually don't you worry).
The…
Oh yes it's 80's night. And the feeling's right.
Sorry bout that. Anyway, I feel it necessary to spoil this for you. The puppy dies. And not as a blood ritual sacrifice. I'm not saying harming animals in the name of Satan to resurrect a de-consecrated preist from the whatever century Spain who was banished to I guess North Carolina where his personal effects were eventually stashed in the basement of a military academy and not in, like, some deep dark corner of the Vatican or wherever is okay. But it's really sad when a cute puppy (the runt of the litter of course, an adorable, sad, doomed metaphor for the orphan kid and his weirdly skewed eyebrows) dies for…
If this came out today, the lead character would summon Satan through a Tik Tok dance challenge.
Played much better for me on this rewatch but still very much a slow burn with a Clint Howard performance sandwiched in the middle. But it’s all worth it for that final 15 minutes which undoubtedly is the reason it ended up on the video nasties list. I’d love to see an uncut version of this film or extended sequences. And my god, that PIG SCENE. How did I not remember that scene?

Esteban was a real bro though. RIP to Fred who didnt deserve that.
Watched with Joe Bob on Shudder. Kinda drags on but the ending more then pays off.
