Plot

The Ryan Family moves into their dream home having no idea their new home is possessed by a demon. (inspired by true events).

Cast

Not familiar with anyone, and everyone was so incredibly bland.

Verdict

I watched The Evil Down the Street on Youtube, that's generally an immediate red flag but I do love being proved wrong. This, did not prove me wrong.

Now the first factor out the gate is that this is a "Based on a true story" movie, but is also supernatural which makes me chuckle. It's either/or it's not both, grow up.

I saw comments from the director, how he was waffling on about being respectful to the family, how he knew them, how he wanted to tell the true story. Well it's clearly not a true story is it? For crying out loud.

The film is a slow burn with uninteresting characters that touches upon commonly seen subject matter but drags it out for so long it never finds an identity or brings anything new to the table. It's no exaggeration to say nothing really happens in the film and the finale is so remarkably rushed I was sat jaw dropped in awe that's the way they decided to do it. No spoilers here, but imagine a 90 minute movie about an alien invasion where 89 minutes are them talking about the aliens and looking a the spacecrafts then 10 seconds is them shooting a missile at said spacecraft boom and it's over.

The Evil Down the Street is absurd, terrible and pointless.

Rants

I do so hate supernatural "True" stories. Is your life that lame that you need to believe in ghosts, goblins, vampires, demons, aliens, gods etc etc etc? Proof or gtfo please, you've had enough time by now and it's just getting embarrassing. Go out and record evidence, and unlike all the evidence out there on Youtube kindly record it on a camera not a potato.

The Good

Nothing springs to mind

The Bad

Bland cast Slow burns to nothing Simply not a true story Awful rushed finale.
