You've described The Evil Within as Wes Craven trapped by Tommy Wiseau in a Lynchian landscape - qualify that statement please?

I don't need to qualify that statement as the film itself qualifies it rather easily. This film is a very rare beast - there's really nothing quite like it and I think horror fans in general are going to be in a genuine state of awe. Too many times have genre press over -yped films to the fans with phrases like 'unlike anything you've ever seen' - well for once, they are actually being honest.
