Evilenko
Thriller ‘Evilenko’ Headed to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Feb. 25 From MVD and Unearthed
February 6, 2025
The thriller Evilenko will be released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Feb. 25 from MVD Entertainment Group and Unearthed.
Based on the shocking true story of the former Soviet Union’s most notorious serial killer, the film explores the mind of a true monster, a man who mutilated and devoured more than 50 children. For years, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, TV’s “Entourage”) eludes the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas, “The Lord of the Rings Trilogy,” xXx, Aeon Flux) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup, The Chronicles of Narnia). 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. From writer-director David Grieco, the film features the haunting melodies of composer Angelo Badalamenti (“Twin Peaks,” Mulholland Drive).
