Plot:
Six school friends meet up for a Fourth of July celebration on a remote island off the Washington coast.
One of them has brought along some cocaine to amp up the good times but a right wing terrorist organization has secretly funneled a new bio-active drug into the market disguised as the drug. Anyone who consumes it is then exposed to a virus that causes fits of psychotic rage and cannibalistic tendencies.
Only one girl, Brie, refuses to take the drug and she alone must fight to stay alive as everyone around her, including her fiancé, attempts to savagely kill her…
Reviews:
There’s not too much ingenuity in the despatching of each character but the action comes thick and fast. There is plenty of blood but to Lee’s credit he doesn’t go overboard … while this won’t win originality points, The Evil In Us is relentlessly paced with an acerbic dig at modern politics in amongst the horror.” Tom Jolliffe, Flickering Myth
” … mostly this is an essay in the Cabin Fever cycle in which shallow, pretty folks tear into each other – their great faces, neato hair and trim bods are established lovingly early on, all the better to contrast with the way they look after they’ve had chunks bitten out of their faces, been set on fire, suffered scratching and clawing and generally abused themselves and each other.” The Kim Newman Web Site
“The Evil in Us has some entertaining twists and clever foreshadowing which comes together nicely by the end. The acting, however, feels inconsistent, characters are two dimensional with some overacting that makes their performances seem primal and staged. The actors certainly have the skill and are a colourful cast, but it feels as if they were directed by someone who was perhaps out of touch with this generation.” Simret Cheema-Innis, Horror Talk
“Slick and stylish visuals are complemented by a thumping soundtrack that gets the blood pumping right from the opening credits … With a believable young cast The Evil in Us offers a new take on the zombie virus. A drug-induced zombie nightmare crammed full of mystery and carnage. Possibly the best reinvention of the zombie genre since 28 Days Later.” Kat Hughes, The Hollywood News
