[Co-director] Weston was giving less-discriminating horror audiences in 1981 what he thought they wanted: Carrie with more gore, more beheadings, and all the Satanic pigs they could handle.

This tries to be a contemporary "Exorcist" or "Omen" and fails.

Eric Weston’s film isn’t necessarily “good,” but it is definitely out there, with some elements seemingly intended as satire, others not at all.

There's plenty of weirdness to the story of Evilspeak that I dug but I just couldn't get into a movie that does nothing but emotionally pummel its protagonist for the first 70 mins then doesn't give him or the audience a truly satisfying conclusion.

A fascinatingly deranged horror flick, but also one that's really slow in its first hour.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Clint Howard + satanic pigs = MOVIE GOLD.

A strange intense film about Copper Smith a bullied & disconnected military student who comes across the ability to summon Satan from his school computer. Cooper Smith is actually played by Ron Howard's brother but this is no Happy Days. Goes a little wacky & intense in the final act but has one of the coolest VHS Cover ever.

A kid finds a strange satanic book and devotes his life to Satan and ends up killing everyone at school. Creepy
