Evil Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Extremely watchable, even if it never goes as deep as it should.
culturevulture.net
Les Wright
The second half of 'Evil' takes this genre into new and challenging territory.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Hafstrm's dramatic sense is ... pedestrian and snail's-pace obvious.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Movies like Evil entertain us by serving sweet revenge on a platter, and director Mikael Hfstrm manipulates emotions more intelligently than most.
San Francisco Chronicle
John McMurtrie
Wilson, who plays Erik, had never been in a film before Evil -- which was nominated for a best foreign-language Oscar in 2004 -- and there's no reason that he can't make many more of them.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Its stuffy, private-school scenes nearly turn the whole thing into The Dead Pugilist's Society, but this Swedish import does have its chilling moments.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Director Mikael Hfstrom exudes no subtlety and lets the blood flow, at odds with the nonviolent moral message this Oscar-nominated film aims to deliver.
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
A commentary on the troubling gray area between acceptable and unacceptable forms of violence, especially where the molding of boys into 'real men' is concerned.
Dread Central
Johnny Butane
Director Mikael Hafstrom demonstrates a sure hand with the material and is definitely a talent to keep an eye on.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The way it plays out, Evil feeds the audience's bloodlust as much as it decries the worst acts of its characters.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Hafstrom ... keeps us guessing as he confidently builds suspense.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Hafstrom never finds the shades in his morality tale, so while Wilson is an intensely charismatic actor, all he can do is respond to relentless, escalating tortures. It's immensely unpleasant for him, and, frankly, not a whole lot better for us.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Although Evil eventually suffers from its heavy-handed treatment of its subject, it is a well-made and engrossing melodrama.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The movie is as blunt as its title.
Variety
David Stratton
Wilson is a powerful presence as the slow-burning but, when roused, very violent Erik, while Lundstrom movingly portrays the vulnerable Pierre.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Comes perilously close to making Erik's suffering at the hands of sadistic upperclassmen seem almost fetishistic.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Watching this time bomb tick away is never less than riveting.
Village Voice
Ben Kenigsberg
The milieu owes something to Lindsay Anderson's If.... , but Evil is less anti-authority than pro-confrontation.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
not even a film as colossally absurd as Crash dares to completely sum up its entire train of thought in its one-word title, but such is the insult this 2005 Oscar nominee from Sweden commits.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
Hfstrm leaves no loose end untied, and no easy sentiment untapped, but there's a didacticism to Evil that undercuts its sturdy narrative construction.
