Evil Ed

Evil Ed (1995) — watch online on iFILM — is a Swedish horror-comedy directed by Anders Jacobsson and starring Johan Rudebeck as Ed, a quiet film editor assigned to the splatter department of a production company. His predecessor blew himself up with a hand grenade. Ed is untroubled by this detail.

He settles in to cut the Loose Limbs series — hours of on-screen carnage, day after day — until the footage stops feeling like fiction. Bill Moseley turns up in a cameo that tells you exactly what kind of film this is. Jacobsson made it as a straight-faced tribute to 1980s American slasher cinema, shot on a shoestring in Stockholm and committed to its own absurdity all the way through.
