Evilenko heading to 4K from Unearthed Films

Unearthed Films has announced the 2-disc limited edition & blu-ray collector’s edition and 4K of serial killer thriller Evilenko on 25 February 2025.

Based on the shocking true story of the former Soviet Union’s most notorious serial killer, this riveting, haunting film explores the mind of a true monster; a man who mutilated and devoured more than 50 children.

For years, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Gangster No. 1, TV’s “Entourage”) eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, xXx, Aeon Flux) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup, The Chronicles of Narnia).

Spurred on by his rabid fury at the gradual crumbling of his precious Soviet Union, Evilenko is a man who will live, die and kill as a communist.

The haunting melodies of composer Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive) and writer-director David Grieco’s stark imagination have created a portrait of a serial killer that will resound in the psyches of us all.
