Fear No Evil
Terror Tuesday this week brings us Fear No Evil, also known as Lucifer, from 1981. Admission is $1. Zack has the scoop for us:
"The other kids at school won't lay off Andrew. It may be his
awkwardness...or his femininity...or the fact that he's The Antichrist.
Regardless, Andrew's teen years are about to come to an end, and so is
the world.
"Genuinely unsettling human Stefan Arngrim (CLASS OF 1984) plays the
lead, a self-loathing wiry geekazoid handed all the Unholy Powers of
Darkness. What results is the most off-kilter nerd revenge fantasy to
ever set a bible aflame. Over the course of FEAR NO EVIL, you'll see
baptized babies bleeding, corroded corpses cavorting, armored angels
avenging and a healthy celebration of teenage suicide ('DO IT!').
"Director LaLoggia was only 23 years old at the time of filming, shooting
all the school footage in the same halls where he was personally
shunned and mocked, establishing a satisfyingly uncomfortable personal
tone of godless redemption."
