Evil (2004)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Pretty Good

Fantastic!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Well... I was looking for a horror movie and the title suggested one, but I was wrong and it is a good thing because I doubt I would give a 10 to some horror movies...This is a drama, psychological drama with the great leading role of a young man. It helps I guess that he is also beautiful. Other roles are great too, especially of his opponent and his roommate. The film is very interesting, not a minute of boredom. The beginning may suggest one way of how the things will going on, but we see pretty soon that the story will have other way - the one of letting go and control of anger.It may sound silly, but, in a way, I consider this movie a modern sorta fairytale - good does triumphs over evil in the end.10 from me.

First off, I'm American and I have been watching some Scandinavian movies recently and I have to give two big thumbs up to the film makers from that part of the world. They have been making some amazingly powerful films.Let me also take a shot at Hollywood. I cannot even hardly watch a movie they make anymore. They are so sexually perverted or filled with wanton violence or just juvenile writing. It really is horrible. Most of the time I start watching American movies and I just turn them off.So there's my anti-Hollywood rant - now on to this movie.It is difficult to watch at times and I think the main character acted a lot better than I personally would. It is so aggravatingly painful how badly people can treat other people and this movie does not pull any punches in that regard.And still there is a certain sweetness to some of the relationships in this film - the kind you can now only see in foreign films and never from that cesspool Hollywood has become.So I highly recommend this film though be ready for a certain level of violence.This movie is well-written, well-acted. I think you'll like it.

This movie revolves around bullying. More specifically it seems to be a psychological study of power as those who are perpetrating the bullying have power over the victims.I have seen some excellent movies on the subject, particularly Klass, Bang Bang you're dead come to mind. But while both of them were really superbly executed, the victims took everything to extremes.I loved this film. It carries an big emotional punch but it still manages to resolve everything in a very clever way. Ondskan actually manages to avoid many of the clichés associated with this particular type of films.Everybody gave great performances, especially the lead Andreas Wilson.

I heard of this movie years ago and just picked it off the shelf at the video store tonight. I was amazed by how thoroughly enthralling and well-crafted this film was. This was a real find.Set in Sweden in the 1950s, "Ondskan" ("Evil") is the story of tough but intelligent teenager Erik. Raised in a middle-class home with a caring and empathetic mother but a violent stepfather, Erik's frustration emerges in schoolyard brawls, which culminate in his being sent away to an upper-crust boarding school.It soon emerges that there a sadistic pecking-order at the school, where the patrician sixth-formers systematically brutalise and humiliate the other students, and with apparent impunity (the staff barely seem to care). The plot's fascinating twist is that Erik, who, by his own admission has been "fighting all his life", cannot resort to physical self-defense because fighting a sixth-former means immediate expulsion, and thus the ruination of his education and prospects. (His mother sold most of her possessions to send him to a private school and the headmaster who expelled him from his previous school told him that no state school would ever take him in.) So how will this young man deal with his predicament? Bubbling away gently in the background is a theme of the aftermath of WWII. At least one of the teachers at the school still adheres to a racist ideal of Aryan supremacy; and even the sixth-form bullies themselves appear to be the residue of an era when Social Darwinism was given very vicious practical expression.It's remarkable how many polished and accomplished cinematic gems there are out there that are just waiting to be discovered. "Evil" is an excellent film: thoughtful; expertly photographed; wonderfully acted by a remarkable young cast; refined in its presentation; and gripping all the way.So - check it out and if you like it, tell your friends. Don't allow this gem of a film to become criminally overlooked!
