Evilenko Plot Summary

What happens in Evilenko from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 11 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 1-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 1984, in Kyiv, a schoolteacher Andrej Romanovich Evilenko, Malcolm McDowell, is dismissed from his position after attempting to rape a pupil. Driven by his psychopathic urges and embittered by the collapse of the Soviet Union, Evilenko begins a chilling pattern of rape, murder, and cannibalise—cannibalism of women and children. The film hints that Evilenko somehow gained the power to hypnotise his victims, which accounts for their lack of resistance and his continuous evasion of the authorities.
