The Evil Within (2017) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a mentally handicapped young man who is taken care of by his brother. His brother is about to settle down, remarry and start life over; and starting over means putting his brother in a home. As he starts putting his new house together he digs out an old mirror and puts it in his brothers room. The mentally handicapped brother hates the mirror, especially when it starts bringing his nightmares to reality...
This movie is written and directed by Andrew Getty, in his directorial debut, and stars Frederick Koehler (Death Race), Michael Berryman (The Hills have Eyes), Matthew McGrory (Big Fish), Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints) and Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers).
The storyline for this is unique and original despite having some classic horror elements. The settings and cinematography is good as is the cast. The characters are interesting and Koehler and Berryman deliver outstanding performances. The claymation was fun and there's some great kills, especially the drill scene. The gore and blood splatter in that sequence was great. There's an ice cream store scene that really caught me by surprise, though some aspects of that scene were executed better than others. There's a carney scene in here that's hilarious too.
Overall, this movie isn't perfect, but it's a worthwhile addition to the horror genre worth seeing once. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
