Master of Evil

(1988)

Children, let this be a lesson to you: there is no God! If there were, movies like this wouldn't plague the Earth! Then again, by the look of it, this might just be one of those home movies that another renter slipped in the old movie's place, making it a personal Hell just for me and the other poor saps around here. If it is, believe me, the person responsible will be in for a painful surprise next time they step out of the shower! This is what happens when you give drunken metalheads a video camera! Also, take note that all but TWO of the guys in this movie has facial hair of some kind! The tragedy all starts when a sleepwalking woman gets in her car and drives away, to THE cheapest opening title ever seen in a movie!!! The sleep driver later awakens in her car, in the middle of nowhere, then stumbles aimlessly and disoriented down a dirt path. Meanwhile, some "Headbanger's Ball" reject does some Satanic shit, and the sleepdriver gets mauled by a hairy arm and dragged away. Now, let us jump to a party full of cultists, complete with some fag in a top hat, who looks sadly, like Tom Savini. But, this little cult social breaks up, cuz all the members turn pussy when their leader wants em to do a ritual orgy or something. Uhm, then the fat Lemmy wanna-be, cult leader conjures a demon... thank you Mr. Audio, I can't hear what's going on here! It's all too fucking jumbled! Anyway, if looks like the girl who broke up the little cult, Pam, was also the sleepdriver who got mauled by the demon, or at least his arm. So, I guess the party scene was... a flashback? Why do I think there's ALOT of things in this movie I'm gonna have to guess at? Anyway, due to her connections with Pseudo-Lemmy's little cult, the police put the leader Lavall (the Lemmy clone) under inspection. Lavall?! This guy is so worthless... my bride of darkness Krissy would show this fucker some serious evil and sacrifice! Plus, not only is this Lavall bitch a jive turkey cult leader, but he can almost make it look like he's attempting to act as if he knows kung-fu! Well, until he gets his ass beat anyway... I mean, you haven't seen badly choreographed fight scenes till you've seen this one! The bar fight alone is enough to send you rolling on the floor in laughter, then in pain at the fact that you actually paid for this thing. Anyway, some demon Lavall conjures up goes about killing everyone in Lav's wayward cult. What a way to go, killed by a prop from a Spinal Tap concert. Then, the movie repeats itself... yes, the editors were so fucking incompetent that they actually missed or didn't fix a relapse in the film! ARGGH! If I were an editor, I would've dropped this thing in the nearest incinerator, then scattered the ashes over the Atlantic so it could never be seen again, but that's just me. Anyway, the male members of Lav's former cult (who all look like members of Spinal Tap... that's two Tap references now!) go to his house to end his madness. But, Lavall does the only smart thing he does the entire movie, as he controls their bodies and has them kill each other, with the Savini lookin' guy getting crossbowed right in the balls! Finally though, someone does what should've been done at the beginning of the flick, when Lav's demon turns around and breaks Lav's neck... thank you Satan! Your minions may look like paper mache muppets, but at least you taught them to kill a lame ass when they see one! This one sensible act brings about the thankful end to this monstrosity, and there isn't even any end credits to make us sit through! Wahoo! Oh, on a final closing note to this horrible flick, here are three tidbits of trivia, should you ever be in a social situation where this knowledge could win you a promotion or something... okay, so that'll never happen, but I'll tell you this shit anyway. 1) Gunnar Hanson (yes Leatherface, and no, not the fourth member of Hanson) cameos here as a historian of the occult. 2) The illustrator for the old "Howard the Duck" comic from Marvel, Val Mayerick, plays the Damian guy. 3) The financing for the movie came from the insurance money the Lavall guy got for an accident which mangled his hand... I'll bet this guy is now struggling because he didn't pay his hospital bills, hoping the movie would become the next HALLOWEEN. Suck on that fat ass!
