After watching Clint Howard in Not Like Us, I figured the best way to end the night was with a re-watch of Evilspeak, the ultimate in Satanic Carrie-clones but w/ dudes, a bullied Clint Howard stars as Cooperdick, I mean, Coopersmith.

Coopersmith is an orphan who is attending a real MRA-ish Military Academy where the students pick their favorite bathing-suit-babes based on the amount of grunts and whistles from the crowd & then beat their chests while they lug around bonfires, all while the entire staff (including the campus reverend) & student body bully the hell out of Coopersmith.

Cooperdick finds an evil tome and uses it coupled with his computer to summon Satanic powers and lop the heads off of all the guys who've tormented him.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have about a million gifs to make from the amazing finale of Evilspeak.

Bullied military school student ‘Stanley’ (Howard) happens upon an ancient book of black mass. Stanley types the black mass commands into a computer, which conjures Satan and a bunch of demonic pigs - which he uses to torment his tormentors.

Grisly supernatural horror, notoriously banned under the U.K. ‘video nasties’ act for its excessive gore and depictions of Satanism.

Despite a slow start, the film eventually escalates into an enjoyable, loopy ride. Imaginative, bonkers and generally well constructed. Howard delivers a decent performance in the central role. Essentially a wish fulfilment / power fantasy - with echoes of ‘Carrie’, as Stanley wreaks his revenge. The gore flies thick and fast during the climax, and the practical effects are solid. Daft fun.

I don’t suppose there’s a Chrome extension to conjure Satan...?

A satanic computer, an evil tome, Gregorian chants, killer pigs and a levitating Clint Howard decapitating bullies like a boss... Welcome to Evilspeak!

Howard has the countenance of a deer trapped in headlights for the majority of the film, but his transformation into a puppy-avenging demon-vessel for the final 15 minutes is something to behold.

John Wick did it the hard way!

Clint Howard stars as Stanley Coopersmith, an orphaned military academy student who gets pushed just a tad too far, in this gleefully Satanic slice of 80s insanity. Featuring what could be the most despicable foursome of bullies in cinematic history, you really can't help but cheer on the forces of evil when Stanley finally gets his bloodsoaked and shamelessly wire-assisted revenge. The only real problem with Evilspeak is that it takes so long to get to that amazingly epic payoff. It is, however, well worth the wait. Ave Satanas!

Rendezvous marathon continues
Clint Howard uses technology to get Satan to slay bullies. All of that is wonderful.

*chanting* “Satanas! Satanas! Satanas!”

This is kind of Child’s Play 3 but with pigs and Satan. That’s not a bad thing. There’s actually some pretty good gore in this, especially when pigs are involved. Could have benefitted from more blood and schlock, but what movie couldn’t? Clint Howard’s expressions consist solely of varying degrees of surprise. Recommended for b-movie fans.

“By the dreadful day of judgment, 
By the face of the unholy majesty and 
By the beasts before the throne...
By the fire which is about the throne
I conjure and command thee oh prince of darkness in the name of he who spake and it was done.
Satan, Lucifer, appears forthwith and show yourself to me!”

like it love it gotta have the unholy water defiled host! i liek it, i love it, i want some more of it!

I hate love this film. I love true revenge films with no high road taken and vengeance served so bloody, it makes my mouth water. This has my favorite depiction of satan or the devil embodied in a computer making cool as hell graphics \m/ but I also just hate the kid and how he acts and all that.

This is not as good as it is enjoyable. It feels like it's out of the Andy Griffith age, only with gore. How is that even possible? Here it is, and it even has Ron Howard's genre loving brother, Clint as a young man with HAIR!
There are aspects of this that actually make it feel unique, it doesn't follow a lot of horror movie rules, even from the point of view of the troubled anti-hero.
The tech makes no sense, and it makes me miss the days when we could fantasize about the direction it could go.

Some of this was real good: the opening, the ending (!!), the computer stuff, and well...that's about it
build up didn't really do it for me and i didn't really care about most of the story

Takes a while to get going and there is some upsetting stuff (dog lovers, things happen offscreen but still, watch out) but the last 20 minutes of this movie absolutely rip and make the whole thing so worth it. I don't even want to tell you vaguely how because it took me so by surprise how hard it goes.

HORRORx52 (2021)
30. Featuring A Pro Wrestler

Not sure who the wrestler is in this but it was on a list. Evilspeak sounds cool and that cover kicks ass. Other than an exciting young Clint Howard, sweet open and ending- this is a borefest.

A gender reversal 80s era Carrie knockoff where vengeance is served with a satanic computer instead of telekinesis. What should be cinematic gold is ruined by a boring first hour and non interesting characters. This is a two star movie but I'll give it an extra half for the vengeance fueled final ten minutes, which gives you the 80s gore you came for.

Very enjoyable. Loved floating Clint Howard 👌
