Evil Laugh is a 1986 American slasher film directed and starring Steven Baio, Kim McKamy, Tony Griffin, Jody Gibson with Johnny Venocur and Dominick Brascia, Jr. The film is about a group of medical students attacked by a masked killer while repairing a building over the weekend.

Plot

A decade ago, an orphanage has been rebuilt after being burned down following accusations of child molestation and abuse from the building's custodian. A group of medical students are brought in by a pediatrician-turned-doctor to rebuild the building as a foster home, while a psychotic masked assailant stalks them.

Cast

Reception

In his overview of horror films from the 1980s, Scott Aaron Stine described the film as "effortless tripe" and that "There is nothing, I repeat, nothing worthwhile or even remotely worthwhile or even remotely memorable about this waste of celluloid."
