In 2003 David Greico made a film about the shocking true story of the former Soviet Union’s most notorious serial killer. That film is now over 20 years old, is that crazy or what? Unearthed Films are giving this film a 4k UltraHD release for the first time ever!
Synopsis: For years, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Gangster No. 1, TV's 'Entourage') eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, xXx, Aeon Flux) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup, The Chronicles of Narnia). Spurred on by his rabid fury at the gradual crumbling of his precious Soviet Union, Evilenko is a man who will live, die and kill as a communist.
Malcolm McDowell starred in one of the most uncomfortable serial killer films of all time in 1971's A Clockwork Orange. Over thirty years later Malcolm McDowell tries to bring the world another unforgettable killer feature. Evilenko is a chilling piece of cinema that uses the music of composer Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive) to help amp up the terror.
Malcolm McDowell is superb as the detestable Evilenko. The supporting cast does a good job as well. Just as there is so much disgusting acts in A Clockwork Orange, Evilenko tries to mirror that here. But not quite to the same impact.
Unearthed Films have released Evilenko on this two-disc set. There is a 4K UltraHD disc and the Blu-ray disc. There transfer is crisp and clean with no signs of digital artifacts.
