Evilenko has arrived on 4K UHD and Blu-ray in a 2-disc limited collector’s edition and Blu-ray collector’s edition from Unearthed Films. Evilenko is based on the crimes of serial killer Andrei Chikatilo.
Based on the shocking true story of the former Soviet Union’s most notorious serial killer, this riveting, haunting film explores the mind of a true monster; a man who mutilated and devoured more than 50 children. For years, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Gangster No. 1, TV’s “Entourage“) eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, xXx, Aeon Flux) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup, The Chronicles of Narnia).
Spurred on by his rabid fury at the gradual crumbling of his precious Soviet Union, Evilenko is a man who will live, die and kill as a communist.
Evilenko because of its subject matter is already disturbing without even seeing the first scene of this film. And as usual McDowell gives a good off-putting performance. This film is one that stays with you and honestly for I will only watch this once.
