Evilspeak

Details

A classic gorehound favourite from the early 1980s, Evilspeak is finally getting the DVD release it deserves thanks to Anchor Bay (UK). Fully restored to all its gory glory from newly discovered vault sources, this special 2-disc release now includes the long-rumoured but rarely seen sequences of graphic and bloody carnage.

Nerdy teenage outcast Stanley Coopersmith spends most of his days being bullied by everybody at the strict military academy he has attended since the death of his parents. In his spare time he finds some peace by retreating to the basement crypt beneath the school's chapel, where he discovers a book containing the writings of a 16th Century priest-turned-Satanist known as Father Esteban. While inquisitively translating Esteban's work on his computer, Stanley creates and performs a virtual Black Mass unleashing a vengeful and unholy terror upon his tormentors. As all Hell literally breaks loose, the school is soon overrun by Satanic, flesh-eating pigs and a sword-wielding demon in possession of Stanley's mind and body.

Directed (and co-written and co-produced) by Eric Weston (Cover Story; To Protect And Serve), Evilspeak is a heart-ripping and head-splitting splatter classic starring Clint Howard (brother of Oscar winning director Ron Howard and star of many of his films, including The Missing, Apollo 13, Far And Away, Backdraft and Cocoon). The film also stars genre favourite R.G. Armstrong (Predator; Children Of The Corn) along with Joseph Cortese (American History X) and Lenny Montana (The Godfather).
