Being somewhat of a serial killer history buff, I was surprised and excited to see "Evilenko" on the shelf at Hollywood Video. Based on real-life Russian killer Andrei Chikatilo, (I assume they changed the name to incorporate the word "evil", but I don't know for sure) this movie falls short of true drama AND any type of documentary. McDowell's accent is appalling (and ever-changing), and the scenes with the children are just plain disturbing. And not in that "Silence of the Lambs" disturbing way. In a "dear god I'm watching something bordering on pornography" way. I know I'm sort of exaggerating here, but it felt really wrong, and forced. No good!!!!
