Peaches Christ’s debut film “All About Evil” is getting rave reviews, with many declaring the comedic bloodfest an instant cult classic. People can’t wait to see it and groups demanding the film be brought to their town are popping up all over Facebook.

This black comedy about a mousy librarian who discovers her inner serial killer by making movies where people actually die features an all star cast, with Mink Stole, Cassandra Peterson (better known as Elvira), Thomas Dekker from The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and indie cult actress Natasha Lyonne.
