A tremendously forgettable cinematic journey into an uninspired underworld. Go to Full Review

The film is much more interesting as a curious oddity than it is something that genuinely feels like a well-crafted film. Go to Full Review
Chris Ward Flickering Myth Oct 21, 2020
976-EVIL is a good, fun horror movie but not a great one and, looking back, is probably one of the last throes of a type of movie that was fast becoming out of style at the time. Go to Full Review

Poe G Mar 28, 2018 very Kitchey...very 80's it captures WELL the 2 dimensional nature of our lives growing up in the 80s with NO contact with the outside world that we enjoy today via the internet...if you grew up in this era, you'll enjoy this flick at some level See more
Nov 20, 2017 Worked on this, my family, supplied animals. Tarantulas scene, and raining fish scene, were fun to work on. Was cool getting to meet, and work with, Robert Englund. He was a great director, to work with. It was kind of scary, when the actress in the tarantula kitchen scene, had a breakdown. She was so freaked out, or into character. That the hundreds of tarantulas, freaked her out, so much she screamed, fer what seemed like half a hour, after Englund yelled cut. Even scarier then that, was my Dad who I worked with on this film. Called that number, during or after the filming. He started receiving, crazy phone calls after, and forbid us, from calling the number. My Dad finally, had to be hospitalized, due to, he lost his mind, started seeing evil everywhere, after calling that number. All I can say, is what he told us, don't call that number. See more
George R Nov 4, 2017 All around awful. Everything about this flick is bad, and not a ‘so bad it’s good’ way. Not much happens for the first hour, and the plot line makes little sense. Weak acting, weak effects, and annoying characters. Disappointing that Robert England was involved in this train wreck, and that a sequel was made! The kind of movie you wonder who decided to spend money to make. Total SKIP. See more
Harry G Oct 24, 2017 Very cheesy, very ridiculous. There's some elements that could be interesting, but this whole thing would work better as a short in an anthology. See more
Han L Oct 21, 2017 It was alright but not a film I'm going to remember in 2 days.
Abraham W Mar 31, 2012 There is some good stuff floating around in this movie, but it's just too mediocre to be considered a classic. With Robert Englund at the directing helm and starring Stephen Geofferys, it had some potential, but it just falls flat in the end. See more
