The only good thing about this is that Clint Howard gets the central spotlight. Aside from that, its a worthless 90 minute or so wait for him to get revenge on the people around him. It also feels tame and too serious for a Video Nasty; considering its about summoning Satan through 1980s computer technology, the director should have abandoned their failed attempt at seriousness and had more gore. Sometimes titilation is far more important than plot and not having it is an idiotic thing to do.

Mediocre supernatural slasher. Clint Howard's performance is the only reason to watch it, and even that isn't really enough to make it worthwhile.

Evilspeak had an interesting idea (the conjuring of demons using a computer), but it was, unfortunately, very poorly made. The movie drags on for far too long, and then degenerates into a blatant Carrie rip-off near the end.

The plot has quite a slow build and a few ridiculous elements, but the last 10 minutes or so is where all the good stuff is.

_Carrie_ goes to West Point in this watchable, if derivative, shocker. Some flashy direction (like a severed head in a satanic flashback sequence becoming the soccer ball in a school game in an amazing cut) and a campy cast (though Howard is about 10 years too old for his role -- check out the receding hairline) make this nice, sick fun.
