Where Evil Dwells

1985 · 0h 28m · Horror, Thriller

IMDb 5.7

Skip it. This is a fragmented experimental artifact from 1985 that's more historically curious than actually watchable—a 28-minute preview of a destroyed film that feels incomplete by design. Unless you're deep into transgressive art history or cult cinema archaeology, there are way better horror-thrills to spend your night on.

Plot

Loosely based on an infamous 1984 Long Island murder case involving Satan-worshiping, teenage drug freaks (Knights of the Black Circle), David Wojnarowicz and Tommy Turner’s Where Evil Dwells is a low-budget D.I.Y. movie that walks the jagged lines between splatter flick, experimental film and transgressive art. The original footage was destroyed in a fire and the only footage that survived is this 28 minute preview that was put together for the Downtown New York Film Festival in 1985.
