Six school friends meet up for a drug-fuelled Fourth of July weekend on a remote island. What they don’t know is the drug they scored is not what it seems; it’s actually a new bioactive compound peddled by a sadistic right-wing terrorist organisation.

Anyone consuming it is then exposed to a virus causing fits of psychotic rage, mind-bending chaos and cannibalistic murder. Only one refused to partake and now she must fight to survive as everyone around her, including her fiancé, tries to savagely kill her.

From the shocking opening – a blood-drenched credit sequences segues into cops discovering the very nasty aftermath of a drug-fuelled party gone very wrong – to a highly twisted, and cheekily topical pay-off, The Evil In Us grips and doesn’t let go, coming on like a 21st-century version of the 1970 hippy LSD freak out classic I Drink Your Blood.

Jason William Lee, making his directorial debut, takes the classic cabin in the woods horror format – friends having a party weekend by the lake and steadily descending into flesh-chomping madness of Evil Dead proportions - and adds a neat conspiracy theory twist (recalling George Romero’s classic The Crazies) to get the party really jumping.

With a likeable young cast (including Debs Howard from TV series iZombie), snappy dialogue, a rocking soundtrack, and the obligatory unfriendly ‘locals’, this crowd pleasing shocker takes a dark turn, as the paranoid delusions take hold, and the imagery becomes dark, twisted and disturbing, like Cabin In The Woods on a very bad trip.

Tense, frightening, and with gore literally dripping from the rafters by the end, The Evil In Us (premiering at the 2016 Horror Channel Frightfest in London) is one unsettling chiller that you’ll want to sink your teeth into.
