Reviews:
“eVil Sublet was fun to watch. All the background and stylistic approaches to the shooting of the film give a lot to look at and pay attention to. The jokes go from subtle to outlandish, and they play off each other with a wonderful balance. Because of the levels of backstory, background, and humor, eVil Sublet is a movie I can see being watched multiple times…” Guild Master Gaming
“The film aims more for satire and silliness than scares, though plenty of creepiness is certainly on hand. eVil Sublet sends up the housing crisis, pharmaceutical companies, political and sexual politics, and more […] A valentine to New York City and a celebration of living your best life — even when evil spirits try to interfere with that — eVil Sublet is a feel-good horror comedy bubbling with indie spirit.” Horror Fuel
” …more documentary-like than the feature horror/comedy it is […] a noteworthy and innovative addition to the horror-comedy genre. It adeptly combines frights with laughs and incisive societal commentary, bolstered by solid performances from Houston and Struthers and Piper’s insightful direction.” ★★½ Overly Honest Reviews
” …a hilariously funny movie – and sure, technically it’s a horror movie of the haunted house variety with all the genre elements firmly in place and the formula down to the t – but what sets it miles apart from other films of its ilk is the incredible wit that went into the script, there’s plenty of clever dialogue, fun situations, amusing awkwardness and the like…” Search My Trash
“While the makeup isn’t overly complex, eVIL Sublet does have several distinctive looking ghosts thanks to Jennifer Leigh Houston and Stella Sensel […] Gore is fairly nonexistent, though there is some distinctly non-erotic nudity scattered throughout the film. The cast, while unfamiliar, and in many cases with limited experience, do a great job selling the material and getting the film through a couple of somewhat overly silly moments.” ★★★½ Voices from the Balcony
