All About Evil is nothing short of pure orgasmic bliss for connoisseurs of B-Movies, Horror Films, and John Waters fans. Upon leaving the world premiere, I overheard several declaring it "the best written film in years" and this more-often-than-not disappointed movie-goer has to agree. Forget the capitalistic-driven run-of-the-mill Hollywood machine movies of summer and DEMAND your local theater bring All About Evil. This is pure cinematic artwork at its peak.
The ensemble of bizarre characters is played by an equally eccentric cast, including Mink Stole (Hairspray/Female Trouble/Pink Flamingos), Noah Segan (Still Green/Self-Medicated), Jack Donner (Star Trek) and Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) who once again shows us she is a very talented actress. It also includes a young cast who are definitely on their way to becoming major film players - Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Jade and Nikita Ramsey, Ariel Hart, and Ashley Fink.
At the center of the film is the very talented Natasha Lyonne's who almost seems to channel Faye Dunnaway in Mommie Dearest and deliver a performance on par with Nicole Kidman in "To Die For". This performance is deserving of any and all acting awards.
For those who have had the privilege of attending San Francisco's Midnight Mass with Peaches Christ, they will not be disappointed with this instant "cult classic" (as it has been called by several magazines and newspapers - less than a week after its world premier). Peaches Christ is a bona fide institution in San Francisco - honored by the Museum of Modern Art - and those unfamiliar can reveal in the mastermind behind this Diva, one Joshua Grannell.
All About Evil is a film that will not be appreciated, or even seen, by mass audiences. But, like John Waters films, it was never intended to. This reviewer is excited to see what Writer/Director Grannell creates next!
