Film is forever.
When I first saw this film, I thought it was effectively creepy and atmospheric. 15 years later, I find it to be interesting, but ultimately dull and sloppy. The movie's certainly an allegory for the persecution that homosexuals face in society, but is totally over the top in its homoeroticism, including a very disturbing scene in the boys' locker room shower. NO EVIL is the rare 80s horror movie that actually has a story. In fact, it has so much story that I found myself scratching my head at many points and yawning at others.
