Blu-ray Review: AM I EVIL (2007)

Distributed by: SRS Cinema

If you have to ask, then you probably are! After watching this film, I can confirm you definitely are!

AM I EVIL is the name of today's film that is up for review. This is another film I have never heard of or seen/read anything about. After watching it, I'm wondering how that is possible.

Now don't get me wrong, this is not a masterpiece of horror cinema by any means, but for a directorial debut, it's a solid film that was very entertaining. It was also very brutal, much more so than I was expecting.

Before I go any further, here is the basic plot synopsis from the SRS website:

Andrew Lakewood seems to be a normal guy. But deep within him is a dark side, hidden, until one day, his thoughts and fantasies become real. "Am In Evil" is a horrific and disturbing character study of a homicidal killer!

Being a lower budget independent film, I wasn't expecting too much out of this one, but boy was I wrong! Everything about this film seemed bigger than the budget was. A lot of independent films are killed by the level of actors they are able to get. This was not the case with this film. The acting was excellent, especially from all the actresses that portrayed the victims. They all did an amazing job and looked truly terrified in many scenes.

The film in pretty simple in plot, basically our main character Andrew seduces women, and then brings them back to his place to have sex, and then kill them....although not always in that order! We are then witnesses to all of Andrew's depravity, including beheadings and disembowelings! One of the more disturbing scenes including watching Andrew play in the guts and blood of his latest victim. Everything is silent except the faint music of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata playing the background. The visual of seeing such a heinous act while listing to one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created, was definitely a shock to your senses!

If you are a fan of the so called "torture-porn" sub-genre of horror films, this one is a must watch for you. Be warned, this one is not for the squeamish!

AM I EVIL is available now on a new 4K Restoration 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition, and includes the following Special Features:
