Boy, oh, boy... What was this? I have great difficulties categorizing this flick. For one thing, it says in the video-box: "If you're a fan of: The Sixth Sense, The House On Haunted Hill, Stir Of Echoes, you'll love Evil Lives". Now if you look at which year this movie was made in, you know right away what that means, right? It's one of the biggest lies I've ever read and a perfect example of shameless advertising with the sole purpose of ripping off the unsuspecting viewer. It also says: "A Horrifying Supernatural Thriller". No it's not! It has hints at comedy. A bit of drama. Lots of naked boobies and some sex-scenes. It tries to be a thriller. Yes, there's some dark supernatural powers at play. But it's anything but a successful "horrifying supernatural thriller", I can tell you that much. The so-called surprise-twist this movie has, actually happens, more or less, in the opening-scene of the movie! It has some extremely silly dialogues that are actually pretty funny to hear. And in the final conclusion it has make-up effects vaguely reminiscent of Brian Yuzna's "Society" (or perhaps even better: Lamberto Bava's "Per Sempre aka Until Death" comes to mind), so you can count that as a bonus. Anyway, yes, it's a pretty damn bad movie. But strangely, all this nonsense to me was still rather amusing. Didn't even mind the ending, haha! However, even though I had no problems finishing this dubious movie, this, ladies and gentlemen, is another perfect example why the 90's very much sucked when it comes to horror.
