Review
Originally released to theatres in 1975, this is by far the best of Toby Ross's early work. The poignant story of two brothers, one retarded (Glenn Parmley), the other (Mike Daniels) jealous of his mother's preference for her weaker son.A level of gut realism, from actors with uncommonly large endowments, examines incest, hustling, suicide, mental abuse, aging and poverty in this classic, best-selling film. Brother Glenn mouths Mike's cock and asshole in the opening flick, and this leads to fucking.
Also includes: a mature and graying, neat and mustached man watching Mike beat off, Mike and Phil Simmons going at it on a red Mustang, a flashback of baby-sitters having sex, a threeway in an abandoned building among Mike, Ray Benston and Robert Woods, and Mike humping another in a hotel room.
Big cocks are highlighted in this unusual film that's one of Toby Ross's most successful urban odysseys. His actors perform with a desperate immediacy that gives the film's best moments a nerve-wracking sexual tension.
One Bijou reviewer claimed:
Largely overlooked, Do Me Evil is a classic of sorts. Directed by Toby Ross, this film explores the darker side of youthful sexuality. Subjects examined include incest, hustling, mental abuse, aging, and poverty, not your typical porn fare. Amazingly, the film maintains a sensible if haunting storyline supported by credible acting (for a change). This flm is definitely not for the "cock and balls" set, those expecting cum shots every minute or so. This film has, to a degree, a level of gut realism that is disturbing but enlightening as well. For a viewing experience that is sure to stimulate the body and mind, Do Me Evil should not be missed.
Another Bijou reviewer wrote:
In Do Me Evil, Toby Ross combines an extremely hot cluster of sex scenes with a profoundly emotional storyline. Here and there, sex and story compete more than they complement, but it's so rare to see a story this haunting that it's more than worth the distraction. Mike Daniels plays a male hustler with a beautiful swimmer's frame and a piece of meat that his first client is (with good reason) so enamored of that all he can bring himself to do is stand at a distance and mop the sweat of his own brow while watching Mike rub one out. They aren't even in the same room with each other and yet they essentially recreate a peepshow atmosphere in a house. But this isn't the first time this day that Mike has gotten his rocks off. Before that, he fucked his younger brother, Glenn Parmley.
Although they are brothers as well as lovers, Glenn and Mike are not friends. Glenn is mentally impaired, and while two men have never looked better together than this pair, Mike is verbally abusive while Glenn takes it with a level of quiet dejection that closes the first scene with a chill. The film gets both hotter and emotionally bleaker from there. The narrative and the sex are edited with a stark efficiency that leaves the viewer's appetite as rife as Mike's spiritual hunger when a turning point in the story brings him face to face with the consequences of his cruelty and self-involvement. While the bodies of the actors in this film certainly do not veer far from the twink blueprint, slim and lightly furry at most, this is not the libido-numbing parade of hairless, dispassionate robots that modern twink video has descended into. These are graceful, hypnotically endowed young men who interact with mesmerizing chemistry.
"The poignant story of two brothers -- one retarded (Glenn Parmley), the other (Mike Daniels) jealous of his mother's preference for her weaker son -- still ranks high on the list of gay adult films....The performances, script and camerawork are all first rate, as are the sex scenes....The uneven editing is somewhat distracting...
