The Worldwide UHD & Blu-ray Premiere!

On 4K UHD/Blu-ray in a 2-Disc Limited Collector's Edition & Blu-ray Collector's Edition from Unearthed Films on February 25th, A disgraced communist schoolteacher in Kyiv becomes a brutal, unfeeling serial killer. Based on the crimes of Andrei Chikatilo: EVILENKO.

Plot:

Based on the shocking true story of the former Soviet Union's most notorious serial killer, this riveting, haunting film explores the mind of a true monster; a man who mutilated and devoured more than 50 children. For years, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Gangster No. 1, TV's "Entourage") eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, xXx, Aeon Flux) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup, The Chronicles of Narnia). Spurred on by his rabid fury at the gradual crumbling of his precious Soviet Union, Evilenko is a man who will live, die, and kill as a communist. The haunting melodies of composer Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive) and writer-director David Grieco's stark imagination have created a portrait of a serial killer that will resound in the psyches of us all.

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."
