Evilenko [DVD]

I was glad I found a nice used version of this film. The cover was different from the one in this page. The subtitles are a bit strange, as they are yellow. The picture quality is a decent DVD quality and the sound is great. This film is just very great. Only bothering thing for me was the dubbing, especially of some children. A bit annoying, as they sounded like adults. Very poorly dubbed.The theme is disturbing enough, but I feel it is an important story that needs to get out to more people. Malcolm gives a stunning performance, unlike any other. The music is great and the supporting cast are also amazing. The pacing is a bit slow sometimes, but doesn't matter. This film disturbs, and moves you in many ways. I am glad I have seen it and would really see it again and again. I highly recommend this film.

The photo for this product is false advertising as it is not a 2 disc edition and I have ordered it TWICE from different sellers.The film itself is okay, nothing much to shout out about though despite starring Malcolm McDowell as there is much better out there.

The movie is about a very interesting serial killer who lived in time of fall of Soviet Union and in his later times he saw Gorbachov. He killed 54 innocent people, mostly children and some women. His psychology is shocking. But the film disappointed or upsetted me in various ways. I got it wishing to understand the mind and life of a serial killer but the director made it into an upsettingly banal anti-communist propaganda movie. I could stand it only due to importance of the subject. The director even abused psychoanalysis for his aim. And in the final song sang the propaganda has Christian goals as well. I do not want to defend communism at all but the movie makes me say "as if capitalists, Christians are innocent about these subjects, you could find more of serial killers in Anglo Saxon countries!!!" It hurts someone's feeling of justice. What a disappointment for someone who wanted to understand the person Andrei Cikatilo. Nevertheless it is banal as a propaganda but the movie being filmed in Russia, the skills of the actors and the technical side are pretty good.This is why I dont want to give lower than 3 stars. Again I would like to emphasize that the movie is valuable because of its subject, one of the most amazing personalities ever but the director made it into an ugly propaganda so decide for yourself. Because of the value of the subject I am still glad I have got it. But if you want to understand the person than do some search on the web.

I cannot begin to imagine this depraved sickening pedophilic garbage to be released unless the LAW HAVE LOST THIR MINDS!! WTF MR DIRECTOR (David Grieco) YOU SHOWED AN AWFULLY FULL ON DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PEDOPHILIC FILTHY REFERENCES THAT SHOULD BE CLASSED AS ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!AVOID SEEING THIS ITS REALLY VILE AND MAKE YOU FELL SICK WITH RIDDLDED GUILT!!!!!!!!!

The best presented, beautifully packaged item, I have ever received from Amazon, in many many years of purchasing.kudos, to you, for your decency in providing an idiot proof guide to navigating the dvd menu.

based on true events it is not a bad film but I preferred citizen x

Highly recommend!

This film is based on the true story of Andrei Chikatilo, who is renamed andrei evilenko in the film. The film starts with chikatilo attempting to rape one of his students at a school where he is teaching, he is then fired from his job and this is when he starts to murder innocent children.Overall this film is very average, the only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the actor who plays andrei evilenko (malcolm mcdowell) played the part very well but apart from that the story is very average and seems to jump from scene to scene. If you want a better film about andrei chikatilo I suggest you watch "citizen x" which is a very good film.
