The premise
For years, Andrei Evilenko eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter. 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.
Horror Vault's take
Based on one of history's most disturbing real-life cases, Evilenko follows a relentless killer whose murderous compulsions are entangled with a fanatical devotion to a crumbling political order. Malcolm McDowell delivers an unnerving central performance as the enigmatic title figure, while a tenacious detective and a psychiatric profiler close in across years of pursuit. The film unfolds as a cat-and-mouse procedural drenched in the bleak atmosphere of late-Soviet Ukraine. It is not an easy watch, but it is a gripping and unsettling portrait of ideological obsession fused with monstrous violence.
