What can you say about a movie called Evilution? The title alone dictates one of two feelings the viewer will have about this movie. Either it will be a "so bad, it's good" movie, one in which the absurdness of the film is recognized and is played as such, or it will be a "so bad, it is really bad" movie.

Evilution is a story of an Alien substance that seems to take over the host when injected and, turns them into (Yeah!!!) zombies. The government tries to use it [...]...
