Watch Let's Be Evil For Free

Thanks for the memories!

Pretty Good

It is a performances centric movie

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Jenny (Elizabeth Morris) suffered a tragic event as a child involving her dad and a shower, but we really don't get closure as to the details. As an adult, her mom is ill and with bills piling up she accepts a job on the "Prosperity Project" whose goal is the extreme education of children. Jenny, and two others are to monitor the children. They are expensive live-in hall monitors. While at the project they wear "Google" style glasses. Things are very computer and graphic oriented. The children are like machines and learning at a very high and fast level. At 37 minutes into the film, Jenny flashes back to the event and then about at 50 minutes, things start to unravel as the film becomes ultra confusing until the end, which still leaves you thinking.The title is a play on the Goggle ethics slogan, "Don't do evil." Darby (Elliot James Langridge) another fellow glorified hall monitor makes "Star Trek" references like "Kobayashi Maru" where Kirk won an academy exercise by reprogramming the computer. This is a film that might be more interesting the second time through as things start to make sense at the end, including the writer's conversational clues. I am sure I missed half of the techno-weenie stuff.The problem was that the film consisted of mega computer graphics, dark rooms, air duct scares, and a large assortment of colored filters (I think they used every filter in the pack). This is not a horror film, but a sci-fi thriller. The ending does give you some closure, but for me I still had questions. I don't recommend this film for the casual viewer.Guide: F-word. No sex. Male butt nudity.

Let's Be Evil contains very good ideas but bad developed. The main feature of the movie is that is shot in first person perspective, through the special glasses that the company give to everyone. Another thing that I really enjoyed are the visual effects and the lightning. Being a fan of the cyberpunk culture this is the only thing that I really liked.There's not much to say about the story: a group of people that has financial problem accept a job offer from a mysterious company to look after a bunch of high skilled kids that have been chosen for a new fast learning program. All the structure is managed by an artificial intelligence named Arial. At a certain point, you don't even why, kids are turning against the structure, take control of the whole program. The next half of the movie is based on wrong choices by the three tutors, that make everything possible to get themselves killed. The ending then, it's completely no sense: maybe the director wanted to do some kind of social complaint saying that technology make us live in some kind of loop from which we can't escape, but it's not really clear.The casting choice wasn't really wise. The three main actors are not really good, especially Jenny, the main character, is pretty annoying if you ask me. Darby and Tiggs are completely anonymous: when they have to convey fear or some kind of emotions, they made me laugh instead. Kids are not really scary and apart from a few jumpscares, which I personally hate, there is nothing else. This movie could have been nice: I really liked the idea to shot it for the whole time with the alternate first person persective of the three tutors, but that's it. I don't even know which genre is it, because for sure this is not an horror movie.

This film has the best trailer I've seen in years, a good combination of lights, colors and funky music. Then as a British Horror enthusiast I was thrilled to see it was a British movie. The praise stops there.Three actors a mixture of talent, two good females one awful male actor, a warren of tunnels that are probably the same and the worst American accents ever. Everything was American, it was like it was pretending not to be a British movie, but it was.The story is very "damned" similar, but that's also where that ends. Unfortunately the story was just too awful, 45 minutes in I just couldn't go on, it was truly unbearable, boring and utterly tiresome. You could have slept through portions and not missed a thing.So sad it was so bad, it could have been so good.

This is a typical -- watch it twice -- movie.A nice B movie with some head scratching at the end.----- SPOILER BEYOND THIS POINT ------There are small hints all the way through the movie. The Augmented Reality is the key to Questions that pop up in the first run.Keep an close eye on messages showed on the interface (glasses) they are not as random as they appear.At the end you figure out, that the "adults" are the the rats inside the lab controlled by the children. Because all they wanna do is play with their pets :D
