Fear No Evil Review

Review of Fear no Evil (1981) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

This is a fairly bare bones flick but it manages to entertain despite not having a whole lot going on. The dynamic between Andrew and the bully Tony was the most interesting as we see him being physically abusive to his girlfriend about his car, then in another scene he harasses Andrew after gym class in the showers by facetiously demanding that he kiss him, which Andrew does of course.

Lucifer/Andrew has this effect on people that's only really mentioned once where all he needs to do is look into someone's eyes and that person will feel like he's touched them or shared a secret with them, something the movie probably even forgot about.

Anyway after the shower kiss he imparts something to Tony which freaks him out. I'd bet that it was him showing Tony the reality of his feelings for him (whether they were actually romantic, lustful or just straight up spiteful) and Tony didn't know how to take that in in such a short period of time and especially communicated by diffusion in a kiss.

It sucks that being Lucifer in this movie means you're destined to be killed by a couple archangels before you can really live your best life because I was certainly rooting for Andrew the whole time.
