Interesting facts

Evil Ed is a 1995 Swedish horror comedy film directed, co-written, edited and shot by Anders Jacobsson and starring Johan Rudebeck, Per Löfberg and Olof Rhodin. The film's plot follows the ordinary peaceful film editor Edward Tor Swenson, who is transferred to a movie company's horror department after the last employee went insane, and as he has to watch and edit gory movie scenes, Ed goes insane, and embark on a murder spree.

Production

Evil Ed was originally titled The Censor and made over the course of three years. Initially intending to make a grander film, the lack of money involved led to it being developed as a low-budget horror film. The film was shot in four-weeks on 16mm and finished shooting in late 1992. Evil Ed was filmed in Länna-ateljéerna, Jakobsberg and the former Roslagstull Hospital in Sweden in 1995.

For a long time, there were rumors of a sequel. An unofficial title even circulated: 'Evil Ed 2: Ed Goes Bananas in the Bahamas.' Practical difficulties prevented a follow-up from being made, including the fact that the film was not a major commercial success and that the character Ed actually dies at the end. There was speculation about everything from a new slasher in the style of the first film to a zombie or vampire story.
