Evil Angel starts as paramedics Marcus (Kristopher Shepard) & his partner Jenny (Marie Westbrook) are called to a flat to help give birth to a baby, meanwhile across the street a man commits suicide. Later that night the paramedics are called to attend to a young woman named Emma (Rachel Emmers) who has been badly stabbed, Marcus falls in love with her but is unable to save her life & she dies in hospital soon after. Just as Emma dies a comatose patient named Caroline (JJ Neward) suddenly wakes up & after killing two people walks out of the hospital & disappears into the night. All these seemingly unconnected events have one common factor, an ancient body hopping demon named Lilith who can possess bodies that are close to death. A murdered private investigator & a long trail of dead bodies lead back to Carla (Ava Gaudet), the wife of paramedic Marcus who is now possessed by the evil Lilith...Edited, written, produced & directed by Richard Dutcher this didn't turn out to be as bad as I was expecting but at the same time was hardly any sort of masterpiece, Evil Angel is certainly better than a lot of low budget horror crap out there but that's not a particularly strong recommendation in itself. The one thing that stands out about Evil Angel is that it tries to be a lot deeper than most low budget horror, at a little under two hours long it also requires patience to sit through. The first hour or so has all these different story threads playing out, the body hopping demon, the private detective, Carla's suicide attempts, Marcus & Carla's unhappy marriage, Marcus & his job & his belief's as well as various background on the individual victims that I assume was meant to flesh the character's out & make us care. This is successful to a certain extent but the film becomes a bit of a muddled mess & gets lost on occasions as it tries to juggle all these aspects without giving the viewer one strong central plot to get involved with & follow. The script for Evil Angel just feels a little mixed up like it wasn't sure what sort of tone it was going for, some of the story remains unexplained like what was in the needle Carla had at the end? Why was it so important to her? Why did this Lilith demon want to take revenge on the people who wronged the women she possessed? Why would Lilith care? How come that guy at the start kept seeing demon faces everywhere? At the two hour mark Evil Angel does drag at times but it does have it's moments & it's a better fleshed out film than I expected even if it gets a bit lost at times.Evil Angel looks great with nice visuals from veteran director of photography Bill Butler who was also responsible for photographing the likes of Jaws (1975), Damien: Omen II (1978), Grease (1978), Rocky II (1979), Child's Play (1988) & Anaconda (1997) to name but a few. There's a few gory moments but they are quite far between, there's a decapitation, a slit throat, various stabbings & shootings, a cut out heart & some blood splatter as well as an over the top moment in which someone is gorily killed by being hit by a car. There's some nudity as well, in fact the opening credits make Evil Angels look like your watching a soft-core porn film. The CGI computer effects aren't that bad actually which is surprising.I don't know what sort of budget Evil Angel had but I'm guessing tat while not exactly big it did have some money spent on it & it show's with slick production values. The recognisable Ving Rhames has a supporting role as a tough private detective & is alright, the rest of the cast try but the material is silly at times.Evil Angel was a pleasant surprise in that it wasn't absolutely terrible but at the same time please don't take that as any sort of great recommendation as it's still not what I would call great, you could do worse for sure but you could do better as well. Worth watching, just about anyway.

It was what it was. It intended to be a fun addition to the horror movie genre, and it was. Technical quality was great. FX were fine without being absurdly over the top. Ving Rhames was classy to watch. Half the cast from "States of Grace" appeared in it.And if you like naked babes, you'll have a feast in this movie.What it was not, which I did expect it to be, was an involved exploration of the "Lilith" legend. The old Jewish legend of a wife for Adam previous to Eve was just a device exploited to justify all the murder and mayhem.In a sense that disappointed me, but in another sense, I'm glad. I was irked that he beat me to the punch of using the Lilith legend in a movie. But since he never explored it in depth, that still leaves open the possibility of someone else doing it.You have to keep on your toes in the first 15 minutes to sort out all the characters being introduced, but things finally gel, and the ride begins. The real spice of the film comes when Dutcher himself enters the movie playing an eccentric character.Probably my biggest beef with the film is Rachel Emmers died early, and she never had a nude scene.If you're a fan of horror movies, this is an enjoyable addition to the repertoire. If you're not, it's a horror film classy enough to watch anyway.I personally am not into horror movies generally, but I do like a good one, and few seem to be good. "Evil Angel" does nothing to be a break-out film, but it does qualify among the upper tier of quality horror films.

I saw this at Shriekfest film festival in Hollywood last year... and I LOVED IT! Then I came to find out it has been winning awards at film festivals all over the world. This film had all the elements of Polanski horror, Hitchcock suspense, Raimi action, Tarantino plot twists, and GORGEOUS women... oh, and the occasional opportunity to let out some tension with a chuckle.Honestly, I was getting pretty bored with little teenage girls running around in their cotton undies to avoid being murdered- THAT's not a horror film- It's simply a bloody mess and SO incredibly boring.Evil Angel on the other hand has intelligent actors in an intelligent story running around in their mini-skirts & lace undies delivering a good time for the audience.When compared to most of what's been rolling around the last few years, this was a fun time at the cinema!

EVIL ANGEL is a horror thriller that evokes Hebrew and Christian mythology about the tale of LILITH, Adam's first wife that was banished from Garden of Eden because she didn't want to be submissive to Adam. She became a fallen angel and since then she has been tormenting Humanity causing death and suffering.This film uses Lilith myth in a usual horror thriller plot that is not too original. Although it's not bad either as it's quite entertaining. The acting is also regular from generally all actors, but I have to mention Ava (which plays CARLA). She does a nice work but more than that she is gorgeous! I didn't know this actress but I really loved her! She's really beautiful and an interesting actress as well...Not being a masterpiece, far away from that, this movie is entertaining and enjoyable. I score it 6/10.
