the audience applauded

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

As far as horror movies go, this one is above average (definitely not warranting less than four). Yeah, there were some drawbacks. Some scenes were a bit drawn out and others were completely irrelevant. What was up with that homoerotic male shower? That was over the top and pretty much as gratuitous as most female shower scenes. Lucifer's character shows flashes, but never really seems inherently evil as you would think. It's clear that he knows who he is from the start, but the role is written as if he's going through the puberty of devilhood. If Julie/Gabriel had been required to be nude, I would have given this a 10. Sadly, her clothes stayed on. The gym teacher overacts with a hilarity of epic proportions.

I would have to say that I was not expecting anything. The last random film I watched on FearNet turned out to be boring. This time before watching this movie I looked it up on IMDb and saw that it had a 2.9 rating, so I expected something horrid. I ended up watching this film and finding a gem! There are many things that I loved about this film. Basically the film is about a teenage boy named Andrew who is the Devil incarnate. The movie had a very creepy feel to it the whole time. The acting was not very good except for Stefan Arngrim (actor who played Andrew). I thought that he was a good choice. I found his acting to be very well done and he looked the part perfectly, normal yet creepy, and somewhat sinister all at the same time. I think that one of the most eerie parts of the entire film is how innocent Andrew seems to be all the time. He looks, acts, and just seems so shy and innocent that when he does horrible things it really hits you hard. Most of the effects were good, but not used in the best ways, which made most of the deaths seem quite phony and sometimes laughable. I quite enjoyed the happy sounding music when Andrew's father starts flipping out and yelling that his son is the devil. There was a big cliché used in the film, the cliché of having a nightmare and waking up only to realize that I happened, yet it is used quite well and does not seem cliché at all. The shower scene was genuinely creepy, and for a random low budget 80s flick it was very surprising. Though I could have gone without seeing the guys penis flop.... The scene where Andrew kills the dog, squeezes his head until the blood rushes into a cup, drinks the blood and proceeds to start to eat the dog is equally scary and disturbing. Another disturbing scene was at the end in the play where the person playing Jesus started bleeding where he would have been nailed to the cross. For this film there are many disturbing parts that I had not expected at all, and it was great that I do not get disturbed by many things at all. I would also have to say that the movie had a great soundtrack, including Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones, Anarchy in the UK by Sex Pistols, and Psycho Killer by Talking Heads. A great film that I recommend to everyone!

Caught this the other afternoon and really enjoyed it. A tad bit slow in some spots, but the "slow" parts really were developing the story. It had a good creepy atmosphere, some totally weird stuff happening, some gore, some nudity (male and female) and a plot. The ending was a "special effects extravaganza" straight from the 80's, but I enjoyed that as well. I certainly couldn't see anything like this being made today, so I'm grateful that it was made at all.If you get the chance, I'd recommend renting it or watching it on cable. It's cheesy, but it's also creepy and tells a good story. The actors range from passable to good, and they get the story across. It really had everything I could ask for from an 80's horror flick.

I remember viewing "Fear No Evil" on video years ago. The funniest thing I remember is Lucifer/Andrew putting breast on Tony while they are in the locker room shower. Also, the coach who nailed the kid with the ball during a game of dodge ball. The father of Lucifer/Andrew staggered into a bar muttering that his son was the devil! He then proceeded to start tearing the place apart after talking to some other loser at the bar. The mother and father of Lucifer/Andrew should have known something was terribly wrong with there son when he suddenly started bleeding profusely at the Baptism when the priest was attempting to pour Holy Water over his forehead! If you don't have nothing better to do and want to see some blood rent this.
