Evilenko

Evilenko is a 2004 English-language Italian crime horror thriller film very loosely based on the Ukrainian-born Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo. Written and directed by David Grieco in his theatrical feature directorial debut, the film stars Malcolm McDowell, Marton Csokas, and Ronald Pickup.

==Plot== In 1984, in Kyiv, schoolteacher Andrej Romanovich Evilenko is dismissed from his position after attempting to rape a pupil. Driven by his psychopathic urges and embittered by the collapse of the Soviet Union, Evilenko begins to rape, kill, and cannibalise women and children. It is hinted throughout the movie that Evilenko somehow gained the power to hypnotise his victims, which accounts for their lack of resistance and his continuous evasion of the authorities.
