All About Evil has its hits and misses, but the horror elements are so good that it's a must-see for fans of the genre

I recently watched All About Evil (2010) on Shudder. The storyline follows a new, up-and-coming independent director in the horror genre who is taking the industry by storm. She has some local fans obsessed with her work who begin to suspect that the kills in her films might be real. The director will do anything to keep her trade secrets, including adding her fans to her next film...This film is written and directed by Joshua Grannell, in his directorial debut, and stars Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face), Julie Caitlin Brown (Babylon 5), Jack Donner (Four Christmases), and Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).This movie does a great job of not taking itself too seriously. The storyline is fun, and Jack Donner delivers an awesome performance. While Natasha Lyonne can be a bit annoying at times, she's offset by fantastic kills, gore, and blood splatter. The horror effects in this are top-notch, and there's a memorable use of a guillotine that made me smile. The ending, reminiscent of Carrie, is a perfect conclusion to the premise. The makeup and hair are wild, purposefully so, and if you watch this just for the horror elements and shut your brain off to the rest of the film, you'll have a good time.In conclusion, All About Evil has its hits and misses, but the horror elements are so good that it's a must-see for fans of the genre. I would score it a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

a solid 7 out of 10

Two things attracted me to this film: Natasha Lyonne and a mix of horror and comedy. You can't go wrong with that combination, right? The film starts out as a comedy and even though it remains funny until the end, the second half is very dark and bloody. There are quite graphic killings and the ending is nothing short of a massacre. Yet, it still remains entertaining and keeps you guessing how it will all end.

The performances from all the leads are great. Natasha Lyonne totally disappears in her character as a somewhat demented auteur who gets consumed by her newly found fame. Cassandra Peterson puts on a very solid performance as a worried mother and there's even a nice little nod to her Elvira character.

If you can enjoy a mix of horror and comedy with a touch of the bizarre and macabre, definitely watch this film. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
