Based on the true story of Andrei Chikatilo, Russia’s first recorded serial killer, Evilenko is a terrifying journey into the mind of true evil. When a communist magistrate (Marton Csokas) is appointed to capture the man responsible for the murder and mutilation of a huge number of children, young men and women across Russia, his investigations lead him to the devout Communist Party-worker, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Gangster No.1). As Evilenko continues to evade capture and his crimes become increasingly sickening, the magistrate turns to a gay psychoanalyst for help.
Directed by David Grieco and based on his own book, The Communist Who Ate Children, Evilenko is a chilling directorial debut featuring a truly mesmerising central performance from Malcolm McDowell, one of cinema’s true legends.
Evilenko is released on 26th June by TLA Releasing.
