Evilenko

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) eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup). 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.

    One for the lads

    Based on the true story of Russia's most notorius. B.I.G. it's not, but BIG it sure is.

    Malcolm Macdowell excells once more in a role carved from the sands of time for an actor born to play it. The ability of Macdowell to draw the audience into his character is on offer for all to see as Evilenko manoevres his way through his myriad yet unfortunate life.

    And the empathy he lures grows as the film goes on.! The challenges faced in cold war USSR to a dedicated communist agitated by the modernisation of the party, strengthened by his sexual inadequacies and fortified by his unhelpful wife are aplenty to see.

    A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday nights entertainment.

    Macdowell shows us all you're never too old to party.!! but maybe too old for the communist party.

    Evilenko - A fine piece of film-making/directing

    Based on the true story of A. R. Cikatilo, also known as the monster of Rostov. A. R. Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell) is a serial killer who killed and ate more than 50 children in old Soviet Republic. V. T. Lesiev (Marton Csokas) is the detective who tracks down and eventually catches him.

    Although the plot of a serial killer who rapes, murders and then eats young children may upset some viewers, Evilenko combines excellent acting (especially from Malcolm McDowell) and innovative directing (David Grieco)

    This film provides a shocking insight into the mind of a serial killer, keeping you on edge throughout.
