edimusprime I like to consider myself a pretty intelligent person. Maybe not the smartest guy to ever live but I hold my own. And I've seen some films that while bad I USUALLY can find some redeeming qualities to.Lets Be Evil?None.No scares.Boring as the day is long.The lighting and first person feel is terrible and in the end the 'twist' is not only predicable but we never really even attempt to give or get an explanation for whats actually going on.Its a techno version of The Blair Witch (which I really didn't like to begin with) that doesn't even must up the brilliant viral campaign Blair had.

Darkdaxter Like most reviwers, I was thoroughly confused by the end of the film and decided to watch it again. I still found it entertaining, and kept looking for clues and symbolism and have come up with a hypothesis.First answering some of their questions. In the break room scene before lockdown, they are heating coffee up not making it. Darby could not just stand up because he had no leverage; he kicks the chair away and stands after they remove the duct tape. He was also unconscious from his head wound till they found him. Going by the information on the screen windows, all of these children are "wards of the state," in short orphans. Some have deceased parents or no parents at all. Jenny's virtual apartment is in Los Angeles, so it's reasonable to assume the bunker is there too (also going by the pop-ups). Or at the very least it's in the United States. They could not leave past the burning man (who is actually the guy checking the "elevator camera") because the door was still locked. Lastly, in Darby's death scene, the children are holding him down not hitting him. It still looks like they aren't using any force at all, but it's at least somewhat more plausible.On to my hypothesis. I think the major problem in the writing/directing is that everything is rushed. There is no distinct time marker between various days, but I suspect they spent a decent amount of time underground (probably a couple weeks to a month). They tried to squeeze too much into the movie and ended up with an inferior product. For example, I feel that Tiggs is a reference to Antigone, or at least her name alone ("worthy of one's parents"), and Darby of John Nelson Darby one of the fathers of dispensationalism (the idea that God tests us differently throughout each period).The opening scene makes more sense if you accept the following assumption, Jenny is an orphan sent to this place back in 1980/90 (then the surroundings make sense), after essentially leading a murderer (her mother) to her father. I expect the VR room is the real exit and one of the ways to win (She would never leave if she visited her mother). The hidden portion of the bunker gives Jenny the transport experience and leads to the elevator. I believe Darby isn't real at all, rather he is a manifestation of her father that she continuously leads to his "death." Tiggs is her mother, whom she stubbornly trusts until everything is taken away (and who supposedly dies in a cell somewhere).The main problem here is that she shakes Tigg's hand and hugs Nina, something outside the scope of visual hallucination. Whether these are just strong suggestions or actors remains to be seen. But I suspect that at least part of Tigg's scenes aren't real either as we see her throat slit on one side of the air vent, and her dragged away on the other. The other way to win would be to actually follow the rules and not touch or interact with the children (people who do so are removed). As for why they punished her, I think she was probably one of the first students back in the 80's. Having failed and with smarter minds and new technology, she was an easy target for ridicule. The psychic communication allowed them to read Jenny's mind and discover her secret, demonizing her further. They bullied her more and more until finally taking control of the facility, wherein they delight in torturing her. After all, if she was smart enough, she (an adult) would pass the test!The most frustrating thing about this movie is that no one checks visual irregularities with their hands or ever takes off their visors. With a longer run-time or tighter focus, this movie could've been a lot better.P.S. There's also the possibility that each time there is a new real "Darby" and that she is literally sentencing someone to die each cycle.

fciocca Let's Be Evil contains very good ideas but bad developed. The main feature of the movie is that is shot in first person perspective, through the special glasses that the company give to everyone. Another thing that I really enjoyed are the visual effects and the lightning. Being a fan of the cyberpunk culture this is the only thing that I really liked.There's not much to say about the story: a group of people that has financial problem accept a job offer from a mysterious company to look after a bunch of high skilled kids that have been chosen for a new fast learning program. All the structure is managed by an artificial intelligence named Arial. At a certain point, you don't even why, kids are turning against the structure, take control of the whole program. The next half of the movie is based on wrong choices by the three tutors, that make everything possible to get themselves killed. The ending then, it's completely no sense: maybe the director wanted to do some kind of social complaint saying that technology make us live in some kind of loop from which we can't escape, but it's not really clear.The casting choice wasn't really wise. The three main actors are not really good, especially Jenny, the main character, is pretty annoying if you ask me. Darby and Tiggs are completely anonymous: when they have to convey fear or some kind of emotions, they made me laugh instead. Kids are not really scary and apart from a few jumpscares, which I personally hate, there is nothing else. This movie could have been nice: I really liked the idea to shot it for the whole time with the alternate first person persective of the three tutors, but that's it. I don't even know which genre is it, because for sure this is not an horror movie.

Claudio Carvalho "Let's Be Evil" is one of those movies with suspicious IMDb User Rating: 6.1 for this crap, with 2400 Rating 10? The "Tomatometer" indicates 22%, a fair rating for this garbage. The storyline is awful and senseless and the plot is a complete mess. There is no development of the characters, the location, the period of time, nothing is worthwhile in this terrible flick. There are basically three teenagers wearing glasses in a augmented reality and one little girl walking around in a walkways and in a corridors with flashy colored lights.Don't be lured by this false Rating and don't waste your time watching this thing. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): Not Available
