Watched Evil so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Evil.

@POPCORN_CRITIC2025-12-17 18:00 UTC

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Evil knows its audience.

@CREDITS_FLEE2025-12-08 23:00 UTC

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Evil.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Evil?

Director clearly thought Evil was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Evil's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Look, I wanted to love Evil. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Evil is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Just got out of Evil and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Evil actually is?

Rewatched Evil last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
