Now, Evilspeak-81' gets a lot of flack for it's cheese and over the top and phony looking gore moments, which only really come into play in the last 10mins. There are a few spots of cheesy violence scattered throughout. What this film does have to it's credit is Clint Howard, the military school setting, which is populated and run by a large contingency of jerks and jocks, and the harassment, abuse, bullying, self-important and arrogant attitudes that he has to put up with. In this respect, the film can tell quite an effective tale, because it is projected onto Howard's believable and sympathetic character. He stands out like a sore thumb, amongst all the stereotypes and caricatures of the other roles. His revenge is duly welcome, even if it is unintentionally hilarious. As much as I like Evilspeak, some of the special effects were sub-par. Like the obvious dummy of Sarge as he's getting his head twisted around. Yet some of the other effects were pretty good, and there are some effective horror moments in this Carrie-esque film.
