NOctoberween #18 (The Week of Gutter Trash 9): Eternal Evil (1985)
(5/10): So I think everyone can agree on this statement, the worst thing a bad movie can be is boring, that pretty much fits the description here.
Eternal Evil, honestly I don't remember much other than that cause of the events of the film has to do with a man being dissatisfied with his life and taught how to astral project but when he is asleep he accidentally astral projects himself uncontrollably and then it causes mysterious deaths to occur.
So first and foremost the main issue that caused this to be just bland was that my copy had some terrible picture quality as the opening credits were incredibly blurry and hard to make out, which was an instant turn off for me.
Secondly, despite it having a unique concept, the execution was very poor and I found many characters flat and uninteresting.
The film had some moments where it managed to get my attention but they were few and far between as a combination of the flaws above made it eventually become background noise, which I know isn't what you want to hear from a review, but here it is.
Eternal Evil may have a unique idea and famous Cult Actress Karen Black but it doesn't really utilize them well enough, I may give this a more proper watch sometime down the line but as of right now it's just dull and boring.
