Evil - "To kako"

"What the hell is going on in this f***ing city?" asks the poster. But you know what this means.

All hell breaks loose in Athens. Yeap, I didn't expect myself saying something like this any time at all. The "Evil" is spreading faster than the tickets for Athens' summer olympics were sold. Beware the flesh hungry walking dead, they lurk in every corner! In a particularly cult scene from this, the first ever Greek zombie movie, a bunch of zombies terrorize a traditional "greek taverna". In stills I've seen from the film, Athens never seemed more deserted. I'm not providing any stills of actual action scenes from it though, since they can really be shocking.

Expect a splatter movie of massive proportions, not in budget terms, but in a gore-fest kinda way. Blood and organs abundant. George Noussias' Evil (To Kako) first shocked the people of my own city, Thessaloniki, during last year's 46th Thessaloniki International Film Festival (TIFF) in November.

It's scheduled for a wide theatrical release in Greece this Thursday, March 16th.

According to Twitch, it will also have a North American premiere at the 15th Philadelphia Film Festival (PFF) on April 3rd at 5:00 p.m., and a subsequent screening on April 5th at 9:45 p.m. and April 8th at 5:15 p.m..

I had no idea a Greek spatter movie was under the works! I must say I am intrigued by it and I want to watch it.

Για κάποιον περίεργο λόγο πιστεύω πως έχει να παίσει γέλιο σε αυτήν την ταινία... Πάντως μου κλέψανε την ιδέα σχεδόν! Όνειρό μου είναι να φτιάξω ένα Resident Evil με σκηνικό στην Θεσσαλονίκη!
