The first few minutes of this video are a sort of parody of the 1978 version of "Halloween," although the Michael Myers stand-in wears a Ronald Reagan mask and winds up killing his promiscuous mother rather than a sister. This is played for laughs, which aren't really there. Flash forward, and the same kid, now grown, gets out of his sanitarium and goes on a murder spree dressed as Donald Trump. Every joke that follows is lame and obvious, and every political point made is equally lame and obvious. Every character in the film is a stereotype, whether positive or negative. It comes across like a political screed written by a furious high-school kid whose parents won't let them attend street protests. Possibly this adolescent preaching is most obvious when the killer is blown up at the conclusion of the film to a montage of pictures of the Constitution and abolitionist icon Frederick Douglass accompanied by patriotic music. There's probably a good film that could be made with a serial killer who looks like the current President, but this is far from it.
I had never heard of the director of the film before. It looks as if he has mostly made "B" movies, including a parody of 1940s Republic Serials entitled "Monarch of the Moon" that I may actually look up because I think it would be more to my taste.
I wouldn't describe myself as a fan of the current resident of the White House, but I think about the only people who might enjoy watching this probably would both enthusiastically laugh at fart-joke humor and also be consumed with hatred for the guy 24/7. I don't live, eat and breathe politics, and I just didn't find "President Evil" to be all that entertaining.

This movie is not only insulting to any level of adult intelligence, it's one of the most far-fetched, corny, cheaply made movies I've ever seen. I'm disappointed that Amazon would feature this movie in there optional Prime lineup. Amazons reputation just went down a notch in my book.

An entire movie (from the left) proving that private gun ownership saves lives. Even those trying to take away America's guns can't make a movie about crime where private gun ownership isn't a big part of winning. And not only is it a gun, it is an assault style weapon too boot! Thank you liberals for proving the value of 2A.

Halloween and an episode of Real Time got together and had a baby. President Evil takes all the gore and spook from the classic Halloween movie and the comedy satire of Bill Maher to make a very clever and funny film. I was laughing, cringing and crying (due to the political points) throughout the movie. Great story supported by a talent cast and a director with a clear vision. Two thumbs up. Not for Trump fans.

I think it was supposed to be an adult smart movie that ended up falling back on the grade school humor and ways of insulting people. I hope it's just a time capsule for 2016-2020 and in 2020 they can drop the ignorant kiddie act and see how stupid they've been acting so we don't have to keep giving late night talk show hosts their monologues when talking about Trump Apocalypse #2.

President Evil takes Donald Trump and turns him into a real life Michael Myers. Following the storyline of the 1978 Halloween, this spoof nicely blends politics, comedy and horror. Great performances by the entire cast, especially Sheriff Mueller (Jose Rosette) and Lana (Sitara Attaie). And the 1980s style murder scenes play great homage to the source material. Great film for those not afraid to take politics a little less serious.

A remarkably smart, clever and just all around well-done parody of Halloween while being political at the same time. The brilliance of this film is that it shines a light on the state of politics in the United States and the communities affected.

This film touched on some very serious political issues going on right now. I happened to be watching it at the gym, while the Cohen trials were playing in the background - how's that for uncanny??
I really enjoyed this film, from the parody of Halloween-like horror, to the cheezy acting - especially the "Putin" character.
(Note: I wouldn't watch it if you are a HUGE fan of the current POTUS - it may upset you. lol)
