Evilspeak (also known as Evilspeaks) is a 1981 American horror film written by Eric Weston and Joseph Garofalo and directed by Weston. It stars Clint Howard in the lead role.
The movie was one of the infamous "video nasties" banned in the United Kingdom in the 1980s.
Plot
In the film's opening scenes, we see Satanic leader Father Estaban (Richard Moll) and his followers on the shore of Spain during the Dark Ages. They are approached by a church official who tells them they are banished from Spain and denied God's grace unless they renounce Satan and their evil ways.
In the present, Stanley Coopersmith (Clint Howard) is young cadet at an American military academy. He is also a social outcast bullied by his classmates because he is an orphan, and treated unfairly by his instructors who believe him to be inept at everything. One day, Coopersmith is being punished for no clear reason by being forced to clean the church cellar. While cleaning the darkened cellar, he finds a room belonging to Father Estaban which contains books of black magic along with Father Estaban's diary. Coopersmith becomes fascinated with the book and uses his computer skills to translate it from Latin into English. In the translation he discovers that Estaban was a Satanist and the book contains rituals for performing the Black Mass along with a promise by Estaban "I Will Return". Coopersmith plots his revenge on his classmates using black magic.
Kidnapping
In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful taking away or transportation of a person against that person's will, usually to hold the person unlawfully. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute.
In some countries such as the United States a large number of child abductions arise after separation or divorce when one parent wishes to keep a child against the will of the other or against a court order. In these cases, some jurisdictions do not consider it kidnapping if the child, being competent, agrees.
