In this episode of Movie Torture, Jacob and Brad welcome Ashley, Troy, and MTD for a hilariously chaotic deep dive into the cinematic mess known as 976-EVIL. What starts as a simple roast quickly spirals into a whirlwind of hot takes, questionable IMDB rating guesses, and a disturbing amount of conversation about demonic phone bills and bathroom trauma. The gang takes aim at Robert Englund’s directorial debut with the precision of a pageant judge holding a grudge—calling out everything from the overcooked acting to the undercooked plot. Along the way, they unpack the film’s laughable portrayal of high schoolers (spoiler: no teen has ever acted like that), cringe through the infamous bathroom scene, and bond over the shared trauma of low-budget horror. Somewhere in the mix, societal beauty standards, the ethics of sequels, and even a controversial tangent about 9/11 movies sneak into the banter. It's weird, it's wild, and it's everything you never needed to know about 976-EVIL.
