“Let’s Be Evil” (** out of four) was a visually hypnotic but murky and aloof sci/fi mind-bender about a young social worker (Elizabeth Morris) who begins working at a learning center for gifted students but becomes unwittingly involved in a disturbing virtual reality game involving students whose minds are being altered and taken over. So visually stylish and trippy it’s almost worth watching for a little while but the story is a mess and is difficult to care about. Director Martin Owen is a stylist to watch out for although he evidently watched “Village Of The Damned” and “2001: A Space Odyssey” several times before this. Striking music score by Julian Scherle is another asset.
