Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The title character is a mild-mannered film editor at a big motion picture company who is reassigned to their "Splatter and Gore" department to work on their highly successful "Loose Limbs" series. The horrific violence in those films drives him insane and he starts killing people in the style of the movie villains. You might think that Evil Ed is a moralistic tale warning us of the dangers of horror films, but the filmmakers are having way too much fun to bother with that. It's really more a satire of horror films, the movie business, SWAT teams, and what-have-you that combines gleeful mayhem, a witty visual style, and Scandinavian angst. All the actors in this Swedish-made film spoke their lines in English, but their voices were dubbed for this American release. Hard-core splatter fans may find it a little light on the gore, but hey, any movie that starts with a guy blowing off his own head with a hand grenade can't be all bad. Trivia factoid: The title is a play on Evil Dead, and the name of Ed's tyrannical producer, Sam Campbell, salutes that film's director, Sam Raimi, and star, Bruce Campbell. --Geof Miller

Product Description
He's Eerie, he's Edcitable and his temper is Edsplosive.... He's "Evil Ed." From the bowels of a movie studio editing room, the demons that inhabit the world's most gory movies scramble Ed's brain until he starts butchering more than scenery. His rampage of exploding heads and flying limbs make this gorefest truly splatterific.

4.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING THE IMAGE RELEASE!!!, July 13, 2005

By	Evan H. Williams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Evil Ed is an awesome movie if you own the VHS edition the dvd release by IMAGE Entertainment has all the gore scenes taken out!!! Ardustry Entertainment is re-releaseing the film Oct. 4 2005 in it's full gory glory!!! So I recommend waiting and getting that version.

The movie itself is pretty awsome though, in the unedited version it has exploding heads, chopped torsos, and other cool scenes, plus the movie is halarious and has a lot of reference to the evil dead series

3.0 out of 5 stars Look here people!, February 22, 2000

By	Henkeponken (Sweden) - See all my reviews

Guys, I can only refer to the guy who asy the movie in Sweden. They say that it is uncut, but it is not! The swedish release offers more gore and a bucket of blood here and there. No, it is not a gore-gore kind of film, but it is not meant to be. The movie features some of the elite of swedish actors on orders to make the movie exactly as it is. The dubbing is made on purpose, don't think anything else! It is a classic here in Sweden and has earned its place in the swedish hall-of-fame of swedish horror-films (scarce as they may be) See this movie for some laughs, not to be scared.

Enjoy! :o)

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite movie, September 6, 2003

By	mike (United States of Imperialist America (U.S.I.A.)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evil Ed [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this is the best movie i've ever seen. I love A-PIX movies because they are so dumb, that they are hilarious. This is the best one yet. I've never laughed so hard at a movie that wasn't supposed to be funny. The movie is about a movie editor that replaces and old one, and he goes crazy, and starts to kill everyone. To tell how dumb this movie is, i'll describe the beginning. There is a crazy movie editor cutting up all of these movie tapes. His boss tries to get in, but the door is locked. The boss finally breaks down the door, and movie editor, who had put a grenade in his mouth, blows up. The boss responds with, "You're Fired!" If you need a good laugh, then watch this movie, or, if you want to see the dumbest movie ever, then I also recommend this movie. - CIAO !!!
