What if those alarmist news reports were right?

Ed is overly civilized and particular, speaking plainly and politely.

Creative, but disgusting.

Many films welcomed the new decade with a bolder outlook and this one was no exception.
They use this film-within-a-film to check every box of whats wrong with horror movies.
Thisparodied presentation of horrorfilmmakers and fans presents them as mindless, apathetic, and heartless.
Despite its appearance,Evil Edis a fun, lighthearted response to incessant ridicule and fearmongering.
With this playful attitude comes adoration for the genre.
(Take a wild guess how character Sam Campbell got his name.)
Evil Edmay not be the first slasher that comes to mind, but thats okay.
Its an accidental champion of sorts, a film that defends your favorite scary movies right to exist.
