BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Weenola Evilenko,.. what can i say or tell about it,..One of the most disturbing and sick serial killers opens his mind and invites you to enter it barefoot.It goes all the way in every thought, emotion, expression and action,.. the mind opens and reveals the sickness and horror.I watched this DVD and from 1 minute i felt weird, i dunno, i had this weird and unpleasant feeling in my stomach, i wanted to turn it of but i just couldn't. Malcolm McDowell is amazing in this movie and grabbed me by the throat and took me the whole journey. I couldn't resist it.I forgot i was watching a movie instead of a real life documentary because the acting and environment is so real and intense.One of the most scary things in this movie is the way Evilenko approaches and master his victims,. truly amazing.If i could choose to be captured and held on a chair in a hostel movie or look evilenko in the eyes i would choose to be tortured ala hostel style, Because looking in the eyes of evilenko is a dark and tormenting journey that goes on, even beyond death.The tension in this movie is really good, the cat and mouse game between Evilenko and special agent Vadim Timurouvic Lesiev is exiting and delivers a lot of scary moments. (the scene in the prison cell is a true masterpiece)Good story, good acting, this is an amazing movie! It hits you in the face like a nailed bat, full force, raw and pure.Not for everybody because of the disturbing scenes and way of filming but even if it isn't your kind of movie, you still cant Deni that this is a masterpiece.The only thing that i find a little disappointed is that it is spoken in English. I think that if it was spoken Russian it would be a more darker movie,. but fair is fair, the English will also do.

Jenna Gray It's such a depressing movie. When I was finished watching my mood had changed. I felt down in every sense of the word. I had the exact same feeling when I had watched Citizen X. There's something so sad about Andrei Chikatilo combined with former Soviet Union I just wanna scream out in pure agony! It's not bad but if you've seen Citizen X (they are very alike) you don't need to see this, and if you want to stay in a happy mood you shouldn't either! But if you don't care about that, go ahead and watch. It's not a bad movie, it keeps you focused the whole time. But it's very disturbing. It's roles like this (Andreis) that can actually make you hate the actor behind it, because he did such a good job playing Andrei that I don't feel like seeing his face ever again! (It's a compliment but not necessarily a good thing)

alocastro7 In 1995, HBO produced a film called Citizen X which detailed the murder rampage of Andrei Chikatilo, who killed over 50 women and children.Evilenko is a fictional representation of this serial murder spree which occurred in the Soviet Union during the fall of same in the late 1980's.In every way, this version is weaker than Citizen X. The acting is inferior. Donald Sutherland, Max Von Sydow and Stephen Rea are exceptional whereas Malcolm McDowell is his usual overacting self and is not credible as the murderer.The greatest weakness is an almost laughable explanation of how Evilenko seduced his victims. David Grieco, the writer and director, wants us to believe that Evilenko hypnotized his victims by staring at them.Don't rent this. Instead, see Citizen X; a vastly superior movie in which the killer, using the actual name of the killer, Chikatilo, is played by the fabulous Jeffrey DeMunn with spine chilling conviction.

the_wolf_imdb I have bought the DVD, because I remembered very powerful movie about Chekotylo. The problem is that the movie I have remembered was "Citizen X", not "Evilenko". Evilenko is stupid, absolutely surreal movie, classic Italian cheap crap. McDovell tries to save the movie, but script is too chaotic and unrealistic. The story is not true even if tries to pretend to. The strangest part is the fact the move is boring too, which is really strange for mass-murder thriller. Only first 20 minutes or so are interesting, but unfortunately the boredom lasts another 100 minutes! It was so dull I was not been able to watch it to the end. Well, 2 Euros wasted (at least it was cheap). Spare your time and money - watch "Citizen X" instead.
