Preview: Leslie, My Name Is Evil (2009)

Synopsis:

A young man falls in love with a former homecoming princess and then must sit on the jury of her trial as part of a hippie murder cult.

• Poster: D+

Review:

Someone's bound to get upset by this poster, a cultist draped in an American flag with a cross etched into her forehead. It may fit the subject of the film, but it doesn't make it a good poster idea.

• Trailer: C

Review:

This film doesn't jive with itself. At first, it seems like a film where we're supposed to feel for this young woman, then we're meant to revile her and pity the man who's fallen in love with her. It's a mixture of genres, including courtroom, thriller and romance that just doesn't feel right.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
