Good Against Evil Trailers

Dack Rambo and Elyssa Davalos star as sweethearts Andy Stuart and Jessica Gordon. The course of true love is messed up when Satan claims Jessica as his own personal property. Desperately, Andy turns to a pair of priests, Fathers Kemschler and Wheatley, for spiritual guidance, not to mention a bit of brute force in purging poor Jessica of her demons.

This film begins much like "Rosemary's Baby", though in this case Beelzebub apparently got a girl--a girl who grew up and had no idea she was the child of pure EVIL!! During much of the first part of the film, she is wooed by a creepy suitor (Dack Rambo)--who is supposed to be romantic because he won't take NO for an answer (I sure was getting rapist vibes from this!). Then, abruptly, the film switches and you hear nothing more about the lady after she is hypnotized! The plot changes to a child who is possessed and her mother (a young Kim Cattrall)--and the viewer is left wandering what happened to the Devil's daughter?! And, by the end of the film, you have absolutely no idea whatsoever! The film just abruptly ends! "Good Against Evil" was apparently a failed TV series pitched by ABC. It's hard to imagine now, but with the popularity of books and films such as "The Exorcist" and "The Omen", someone at the network thought it would be a good idea to create a TV series about the fight between the followers of Satan and God. The problem is that although this MIGHT have worked, the DVD for this is amazingly unsatisfying to watch--it's not really a movie but PART of a plot for a film that was never completed. What they did show really isn't very good and since there is no ending or even a reasonable stopping point, I can't see any reason to recommend it. It literally stops as if they just ran out of film!! Not worth your time.

Put me to sleep. Literally. Typical made-for-TV rubbish. Not scary or interesting. Just very boring. Only the director's mother would post a positive comment on this one. There are really no special effects. More of a love story than a horror movie anyway. I can't believe they put this on a DVD. Please make it go away! They were thinking about making a series out of this?! LMAO! Don't make the same mistake I did. Use the hour and a half to meditate. I'm being generous giving it a 2/10 because I'm in a good mood. Somebody please get rid of these stale garbage made-for-TV movies!! There are two superhot actresses in this one including a young Kim Catrall but only in dowdy TV-movie clothing. BARF!!

I didn't hate this as much as some of the comments here, but it's nothing to write home to mom about either.The weirdest part was the ending. It just ended! Talk about an unsatisfied feel! Upon reading up on the movie, I learned it was meant to be a pilot for a series, and I guess that dumb ending was meant to be picked up. Unfortunately, I think the writers shot themselves in the foot in that the movie and the ending was so odd, it never wound up living past its first show! Good only if you want to see a creepy, low-budget horror flick on a lonely night, and you don't mind an ending that's as weird as the VCR getting unplugged halfway through.

I saw this on TV back in 1977 when I was in high school. The next day me and all the other kids in school were ripping it apart. It's a predictable yawner about a kid being the Devil's child...or something like that. The exorcism at the end has certainly got to be one of the most BORING ones ever filmed! And, since it was a TV movie, no violence, no blood, no skin...no NOTHING! This even has a silly ending to pave the way for a TV series (which, thankfully, never came about). It might be enjoyable to watch with a roomful of friends to tear apart...but it just might put everybody to sleep. Add to this some truly terrible acting and you've got a worthless movie. Avoid.
