Stenko-enko
Writer-director David Grieco hacks away at the true story of the Soviet Union's worst serial killer until he's left with "Evilenko," a shallow, schlocky psycho-killer flick that wastes the talents of Malcolm McDowell.
By DAVID N. BUTTERWORTH

A.R. Evilenko was a devout, card-carrying member of the
Communist Party who killed — and ate — some 55 children and young women
over a ten-year period. Evilenko wasn't his real name; that's just
one of several admitted fabrications by Italian journalist David
Grieco, the director of "Evilenko" and the author of the book "The
Communist Who Ate Children" on which the film is based. The serial
killer's real name was Andrej Romanovic Cikatilo, a high school
teacher from Kiev, c. 1982.
