"I can't watch this!"- Todd cries, appalled by something horrific not meant for human eyes.
"I can't NOT watch this!"- his friend Curtis responds, MUCH too excited.
If I had just one channel, (and trust me, that is not the case) I'd want it to be the SPACE channel. The same people who brought me the heartwarming Doctor Who Christmas special (which was tremendous, by the by) also bring me this spine-chilling horror comedy from the frozen plains of Winnipeg: Todd & The Book of Pure Evil.
Apparently, I was the only one I know watching this 13 episode violence and cursing-filled tale of two stoner buddies and a pair of somewhat cleverer young ladies who attempt to stop a Satanic Tome intent on granting wishes in the same manner as Lisa the Genie from 'Weird Science' only with the same mortality rate as the Djinn from 'Wishmaster'.
Director/creator Craig David Wallace brings all this unpleasantness together in a high-schoolers battle monsters heavy-metal-loving splatter fest with heart. Yes, I know that's a lot to ask, but I swear I think this works. For kids! (NOT FOR KIDS.)
"Supported" by the world's worst guidance counselor and a janitor mentor, will Todd and his friends save Crowley High? Will they save EVEN ONE PERSON from grisly death?
Watch it this January. IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE!
Probably.
