Alienated and indifferent to life, he meets Donna, a beautiful young woman while wandering down the street. Donna takes pity on Ernie despite him being in a terminal state of confusion and the two become involved with each other.

Later at a party, Ernie meets a former girlfriend, Gail, and the two resume their previous relationship. For Ernie life is a game, but as he moves between the two women, his fragile mental state declines and his imagined rejections drive him to fantastic and dangerous schemes. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Soundtracks Stranger Song by Leonard Cohen. User reviews 4 Review. Top review. Evil is Canadian. While doing a little research on Canadian cinema, I had the distinct displeasure of sitting through this atrocious film.

The Ernie of the title is very possibly the most smug, most obnoxious, most irritating character ever to hit the screen; he runs around sponging off of women who ought to know better, declaring himself a "saint" and talking down to people as if they were four years old.

Of course, he fancies himself a writer despite never having written a sentence. The lead actor is perfect- too perfect- in the role: he's so convincing that he makes an already annoying character completely intolerable, so much so that I decided I'd rather spend time with Buffalo Bill from "The Silence of the Lambs" than look at his horrible smirk ever again.

Unless you're a Leonard Cohen diehard he has a small scene in which he sings my advice to you is flee in terror.
