I watched the new Evil Dead Rises. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
If you’re a fan of the franchise, you’ll likely enjoy it too. It was full of the typical shock gore and practical effects you’d come to expect from one of these movies.
Spoiler!
The little boy did piss me off when he played the vinyl records. Maybe it’s just me, but if I come across a book bound in human flesh, buried in a bank vault under rubble, locked in a stone coffin, with hundreds of rosaries and crosses hanging above it, I’m not reading from the fucking book lol
I will say, though, I re-watched the Evil Dead remake from 2013 recently to prepare for this one and this little boy has NOTHING on the hippy douche with long hair from that one. That guy went entirely too far to read from the book.
I too watched Evil Dead Rise recently and thoroughly enjoyed it.
There were some missed opportunities for sure, like zero titties shown when specifically portraying characters as a single mom and an alleged groupie, but I digress.
My initial thought was that it started strong then bogged during the family dynamic setup when I admit my ADHD was like lets just get to the killing shall we?
In retrospect though, that part was really really well done. It was like a nod to single (widowed) mom Lacille LaRusso moving her young son Daniel to a new town in Karate Kid except more current where one kid might be binary, one an aspiring DJ, and a little girl who could've been Drew Barrymore's doppelganger from ET. Anyway, they captured the down on their luck, broken family sticking together throwback vibe of the 80s which we all associate with Evil Dead.
The kids even took moms station wagon out for pizza, which was brilliant, and them dropping it causing it to slide all over the boxes was as horrific as anything else in the movie for someone with OCD.
Brilliantly done and great attention to detail that I didn't fully appreciate at the time. [Reply]

Them leaving the perfectly edible pizzas after the earthquake was actually the least believable part of the whole movie [Reply]
Saw X is coming out soon. It has Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith and supposedly takes place between the first and second movie. I used to be a fan of those movies. It was a fun tradition going to see the new Saw movie in theaters on Halloween. Even though they got worse just about each time.
This one looks interesting but it's just funny. How much shit did this guy make and do in the period of time between his cancer diagnosis and death lol. They're gonna stuff that time period with 40 movies. [Reply]

Yeah man, honestly this movie freaked me out. It truly gave me nightmares. The only time I recall a horror film creating my nightmare, later that nigh while sleeping.
I thought it was well done, some didn't like it. [Reply]
