From the Critics:
“Evilenko” is written and directed by Italian journalist David Grieco, who adapted the screenplay from his own book on Chikalito, “The Communist Who Ate Children”. Unlike “Citizen X” – a film on the same murders which follows the Russian police’s side of the story – “Evilenko” focuses on the murderer himself. –HORROR.COM
“Chikatilo, known as the “Butcher of Rostov,” committed a horrifying series of murders between 1978 and 1990, primarily targeting children and young women. His gruesome crimes involved sadistic torture, mutilation, and acts of unspeakable brutality. The film offers an unsettling glimpse into the dark depths of his mind, exploring the twisted motivations that drove this monstrous figure to unleash unimaginable terror upon his victims.” –SEVERED CINEMA
“Such creepily evocative moments as Enko luring innocent children to their doom, and the conviction with which he disguises his monstrousness, recommend the picture for those in search of a disturbing examination of a human monster’s mental decay achieved with little more than suggestion.” THE FILM ASYLUM
