Info

Aram is a wearied accountant with an unbearably dull existence. With a nagging wife who berates him for not being assertive enough, and a measly paycheck, he quietly suffers while awaiting a long-deserved promotion. But there's more to Aram than his mild-mannered demeanor lets on: he has been secretly devising a scheme to finally get what he feels he is owed. One day he asserts his power menacingly when he kidnaps a schoolgirl and keeps her tied up in an abandoned warehouse. What seems like the perfect plan soon unravels into his worst nightmare, and his carefully constructed scheme comes crashing down piece by bloody piece.

Evil Games Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Michael Ledo Aram (Francisco Barreiro) is an unrewarded accountant who does good work. He quietly schemes to get what he believes is owed to him. This includes kidnapping the boss' (Jorge Molina) daughter (Daniela Soto Vell). The film follows the home break-in formula of kidnapping and revenge. It is the last half hour which makes the film worth watching...unless you like nudity.Daniela Soto Vell plays a great teen on a revenge binge even if the whole plot was not realistic. It has dark humor moments.English subtitles.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Daniela Soto Vell, Vita Vargas, Milena Pezzi, Pau Alva).
spencergrande6 Never becomes engaging. I'm a Adrian Garcia Bogliano defender, I've found most of his films to be enjoyable to out-right guilty pleasures. This one is the first I couldn't find anything redeeming in.A basic premise - sad sack accountant works for bad people, wife and kid hate him so he becomes a crazed psychopath kidnapper, but only to up his position in the world. He isn't THAT bad (for a movie like this) - there's nothing perverse that he does (he only implies) and yes he tazes his victim but its for compliance and not for the joy of doing so. He even buys her a diabetic conscious diet. He's kind of a loser but suffice it to say that the ending is wholly unbelievable and not exactly cathartic. It's not really justified, and that fact in itself doesn't seem to be some kind of comment either.This movie is named after a classical piece. It has a hellacious sounding name and it plays a part in the movie but doesn't add much.
BA_Harrison I was looking for something a little different from my standard horror fare this evening, and I certainly found it in Scherzo Diabolico, a twisted little thriller from Mexico that starts off intriguingly, gets progressively darker along the way, and closes in a manner that is satisfyingly raw and shocking.Aram (Francisco Barreiro) is a dedicated defence lawyer whose hard work goes unrewarded by his boss. Nagged by his wife about his lack of success in climbing the corporate ladder, he puts into action a desperate plan. After seeking advice from one of his dodgier clients and taking lessons in tying someone up from the hooker he regularly visits, Aram abducts his boss's teenage daughter Anabela, keeping her held captive in an abandoned factory. Driven crazy by worry, Aram's boss finally loses the plot whilst at work and is shown the door, with Aram taking his place. Having achieved his goal, Aram releases the girl believing that he is in the clear, but even the best laid plans can go awry…Directed at a measured pace by Adrián García Bogliano, Scherzo Diabolico isn't exactly a roller-coaster ride of action and suspense, but it is thoroughly engrossing throughout, Aram's plight clearly leading to disaster for the lawyer; the 'fun' is in waiting to see exactly how his scheme falls apart, and how he tries to deal with the tricky situation when it does. Suffice to say that it all gets very messy (quite literally at times, thanks to some very graphic violence), with Anabela, psychologically scarred by her ordeal, proving to be more of a handful than Aram could have ever imagined.
kosmasp This is gritty low budget at its best (if you are into that kind of thing of course). It's also as unsettling as it gets. Be it the first part or the latter part where it all comes back (more or less - probably more, but that's in the eye of the beholder). And while you feel the pain and anger from our main protagonist, you also feel that he is terribly wrong in doing what he does.Does that all have to culminate the way it does? Probably not, but how else would the movie be able to shock you back into the middle ages (almost literally with what happens). It's not wrong to feel disgusted by any of this, because enjoying this would be the wrong feeling. Accepting this as artistic form on the other hand is the one thing you may have to worry about ...
