Sister Sara Jane Butler is an anti-sexualist, a wandering evangelist and God’s woman, according to herself. She is engaged in mission work in a white dress, singing the gospel on the street. In the meantime, she is a prostitute, radical feminist, petty thief, and a beggar who tries to dine and dash through the propagation of her religion. Most of all, she is a serial killer. Evil Come, Evil Go by Walt Davis is as an inexplicably odd film, like Sara Jane Butler, who should be ranked in the top 3 for odd characters in the cinema history. Even among the American B movies of the 1970s, when Porn chic and Exploitation film were at their prime, such a heterogeneous film cannot be easily found. The ridiculous combination of the mixed genres of soft porn, gore, and black comedy, mad religious messages, actors’ appalling performances and a Folk score with a strong hint of Hippie culture, shows the classic insanity that films made in the 21st century never have.
