“I'm just another chunk of meat lost in brain land.”
Striking out of Sweden as the blood-soaked antithesis of Ingmar Bergman, Anders
Jacobsson's Evil Ed – reportedly made with a budget equivalent to a mere
two-and-a-half seconds worth of Jurassic Park – is a frantic and
gleefully over-the-top horror comedy crammed to the gills with references to
American splatter epics. In some ways it is the ultimate fan film crafted by
obsessives of blood 'n' guts cinema, and yet – first appearing in the UK in the
dying years of James Ferman's censorious grip on the British Board of Film
Classification – when horror was still tantamount to smut – Evil Ed
comes as a rebel yell against the Mary Whitehouse types of the world. Hands
off our gore, it screams, take your scissors and shove 'em where the sun
doesn't shine!
