Goofs
After the stigmata catastrophe, attendees are seen scrambling over fences to get away, even though there's a gap in the fence big enough to drive a mac truck through--or at least a police car, which does.

Quotes
Tony: [to Andrew] So, if you're not gonna gimme a date tonight, won't you at least lemme have a kiss, huh? Come on, 'kay? Come on baby, gimme a kiss man.
Other Boys: [encouraging him] Yeah, Tony, come on!
Tony: Come on baby, gimme a kiss man.
[forces his mouth on Andrew's, whose disgust and anger supernaturally transform the liplock into an act of slow torture, as Tony writhes desperately, but is powerless to pull apart]

6/10

High school really is hell.

Teenager is the son of Satan and he's plotting a demonic uprising, while a teen girl and a local old woman are actually angels sent to stop him.

Fear No Evil is an interesting oddity among the numerous teen horror flicks of the early 80's. For one, it's not a slasher movie. Fear No Evil is a low-budget, but well done throw back to the Gothic horror films of Hammer given a touch of the modern. The storyline is compelling, with some touches of nicely artistic direction from first time director Frank LaLoggia. Still, it's flawed by some awkward moments of silliness (death-by-dodge ball, shower make out) and some supporting performances that aren't as good as those of the leads.

The best of the cast are Stefan Arngrim as our devilish villain and Elizabeth Hoffman as the elder angel desperate to stop him. Daniel Eden is also memorable as the school bully who gets a most crazy demise.

Fear No Evil is a unique entry in the teen horror genre. Though it's not flawless, thanks to its low budget, it still has enough imagination to be a entertaining and memorable late night movie.

** 1/2 out of ****
