Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I expected a lot from this because I read the other reviews. However, 'Auf bösem Boden' was a total letdown. It bored my right from the start and after 20 minutes I fast-forwarded it. I haven't seen a more tedious, artificial film recently. The acting and dialog gave me stomach cramps; everything was so staged I just couldn't bear watching it. Usually, Austrian movies have a very special kind of humor to them. This film hasn't. It's almost as if the filmmaker wanted to be his work so 'different' that it just turned out flat and weak. If you're looking for a good, fun-to-watch Austrian/German horror film, I'd recommend 'Rammbock'.

'On Evil Grounds' clearly shows, what is possible if you are a passionate filmmaker. Without large budget, Peter Koller made it to create an absolutely extraordinary movie, which contains new, funny and sometimes absurd ideas. The good cast leaves no doubt about that movie, especially Kari Rakkola in his role as a psychopathic but pitiable killer is just perfect.I saw the movie and the director at the 'Diagonale' film festival in Graz and I was thrilled by such a great genre mix. Solid trash horror elements mixed with totally funny scenes make 'On Evil Grounds' a movie that you want to see again.Thumbs up for the young digital film-making community!

'On Evil Grounds' is a great popcorn fun flick to watch! The genre being grindhouse/a bit horror-thriller/comedy delivered in a 70's Italo-Western look, I enjoyed watching this independent movie. What really caught my attention though, was the fact - I happened to learn about it afterward - that the apparent budget was only 50K (ok,...Euros, but still)! It did catch my attention, because the on screen production value compares to that of much higher budgeted films. Me, being an independent filmmaker myself, I have to give 'hands up' to the crew for achieving this. I suppose the reason it only gets a high 7 out of 10 from me has mainly to do with the script!

"On Evil Grounds" is very special: It shows that you need not many ingredients to make a great movie: - take takes a greasy-crazy real-estate broker - take a strange young couple - take a maniac - make them all completely odd but lovable characters - make them all fetishists of violence - put them in an absurdly violent situation - add s..x - add blood - add gallon of fun, and - important! - - stir them all until they go nuts one certain afternoon...And you get a visually compelling and must-see "Tour De Force" through comedy, slapstick and unnecessary violence <:)))Of course there's everything else to make "On Evil Grounds" a full meal, like the "funny wannabe-cool cops" sides (austrian!!), a messed-up but rotten-aesthetic setting to garnish the dish, and of course a bucket - wait, what do you need a bucket for? Oh, yeah, for the head *under* the bucket! ;)
