Reviews

Despite the early career prominence of director Steven Spielberg, Something Evil fails to live up to the expectations of a gripping horror tale. Critics cite the film's slow pacing, lack of character development, and reliance on cliched horror tropes as major drawbacks. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as a 'mediocre effort from a budding talent' while IMDb users rated it a mere 5.3 out of 10, indicating a general disappointment with the film's execution. Metacritic agrees with a consensus labeling Something Evil as a missed opportunity with untapped potential. The performances, notably Sandy Dennis' portrayal, receive praise for their earnestness, but unfortunately, they are not sufficient to salvage the overall lackluster production.
