The Evictors (1979)
Director: Charles B Pierce
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
'Let 'em have it!' yells a G-Man behind the credits, initiating a chain of mayhem that will continue unabated for 90 minutes. Pierce toiled unspectacularly in the low-budget mills for several years, but scored a bullseye with this energetically ghoulish exploiter which relocates the Old Dark House on Bonnie and Clyde terrain. The plot (city couple buy a lonely farm whose massacred former owners refuse to stay dead) may be perfunctory, but there are likeable performances, nice period details, and terrific set pieces, as well as a final twist incredible enough to be mildly surprising.Author: TP
