Il bosco 1 (1988)
"Come On, Let's Snort Some Of This, And We'll Have A Nice Time!"...
5 July 2021
In EVIL CLUTCH, a young, vacationing couple is thrust into a nightmare world of supernatural insanity and gore.

This movie could be viewed as either an Italian homage to the far superior movie, THE EVIL DEAD, or as a blatant ripoff thereof. Or both. Check out that swooping camera shot, running along the ground! Sound familiar?

The odd, overly "mysterious" story line is just a lumbering skeleton to cover in the blood, pus, and various other goo.

The couple is plagued by a demon in human form, as well as a chatty man on a motorcycle. This allows for the display of suitably disgusting special effects.

Actually, the worst aspect of this whole movie is the insufferable nature of the two, principal humans involved. Every time they open their mouths, it's like we're being hit with a fist! This also causes the scenes in between deaths to be interminable!

WORST SCENES: #1- The "argument" scene, where the couple blathers incessantly after lashing a zombie to a wagon wheel! #2- The -almost- demon love scene! Both gross and idiotic, this is where the title comes into play! #3- The zombie-with-a-fishing-pole attack sequence!

If you've committed some great sin lately, simply subject yourself to this, and be free!...
