You ever planning on covering session 9?

[@axelcordova8262]

I'm still waiting on that review of 'Nope'.

[@NightmaresinParadise]

FINAL PRAYER/THE BORDERLANDS (2013)

[@taurinstraiter2325]

I am still genuinely surprised you haven't talked about EDEN LAKE (2008). Although, Frozen (2010) and Buried (2010) are also pics that I was expecting gaining your interest in the past but no?

[@HonkyTonkFishTank]

As a 13yo who was just getting into horror, The Evil Dead was recommended to me by a friend who said it was “a classic that was campy and scary”. I accidentally watched the remake and was not prepared for how hardcore it was. 💀 Talk about baptism by fire.

[@InsomniaRex]

Lol I watched it in my 30's and had the same reaction!

[@Kasuisama]

Around the same age as you when the movie dropped, anytime the trailer came on yt i was spamming the skip button like no tomorrow. That one when the possessed mia is trapped under the basement door screaming for the viewer to not skip the ad. Absolutely terrified me 😂

[@CoOlKyUbI96]

I hope that wasn’t literally the first horror film you’ve ever seen lol

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Yeah 13 is waaaaay to young

[@-Scrapper-]

​@@iHaveTheDocuments is it tho

[@danh.5998]

I am still amazed Jane Levy didn’t become a big name after this movie. Her performance is second to none in horror as far as I’m concerned.

[@MrRobertGillan]

Sadly most performances in horror are overlooked. Just look at Toni Collete not even getting nominated for Hereditary

[@barttrodd7918]

It’s working for Mia Goth though.

[@AirQuotes]

My first horror movie was IT aged 11

[@danh.5998]

@@daveauburn1561 I love Toni Collette and Hereditary. That’s right up there for me, too.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

Unless you're the director, horror usually leads to more horror. Which she did in things like "Don't Breathe". At the time she was the biggest name in the movie since she was on cult hit "Suburgatory". It's not like she disappeared though. She just finished the run in "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" which was really well liked and she got some award nominations for that so she's still doing good work.

[@iusedtowrite6667]

Really liked this remake. It expanded and did something new instead of completely rehashing the original movie

[@iusedtowrite6667]

Kinda new *

[@jasonl1942]

Agreed. A bunch of kids in a log cabin who discover a book and a tape and foolishly unleash demonic forces that posess the living that need to be dismembered until only one person remains, who then loses one hand and uses a chainsaw is DEFINITELY new territory.

[@dominiquejones3805]

A remake that became my favorites of the franchises were Friday The 13th & Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[@skooch5769]

​@@mezzb nah, the original evil dead movie knew how to have fun. The first deadite dying is one of the funniest things of all time. This is just a stereotypical mid 2010s horror movie that's undeserving of the evil dead name.

[@kingbash6466]

I know a lot of people were taken aback by the more serious tone, but I personally think it works. The more grounded characters and atmosphere really adds to the brutal, uncomfortable nature the series always had. It's also a neat contrast to Ash vs Evil Dead, which has more of the insane, goofy stuff fans want to see.

[@weybye91]

there are 2 evil dead movies that happens in the cabin where ash/ashley is in, evil dead 1 which the horror movie, and evil dead 2 which is comedic remake Bruce cambel and sam ramey made after the first movie

[@kyo77712377]

I would argue its what actually made Evil Dead unique and not just another horror shlock. When I saw this movie it was so by the books. It was just another hardcore horror film to be forgotten. I cant recall even one scene from that movie, not a one. Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead 2, hell even Evil Dead 3 (Army of Darkness) on the other hand has so many scenes that I could recall. Alot of them ended up being memes. Thats how great they were. I guarantee you that if you asked a horror fan about this remake they would have forgotten it even existed.

[@rhuanrizzi]

@@kyo77712377 nah, that's a matter of taste. I like this remake better. Campy movies can be fun to watch with friends every once in a while, and all, but I do prefer when horror movies take themselves seriously. I'm not looking for laughs and memes when going for a horror film

[@JustinLesamiz]

It's NOT a more serious tone. The original movie was very serious.

[@rhuanrizzi]

@@JustinLesamiz Only the first one, out of three. Also, the ones who complain about this remake usually hold the second as their favorite. OP isn't wrong

[@styfen]

I'd honestly love to see the series return to Mia and see how she's doing over a decade since the events. She's a great character who's wonderfully well portrayed.

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

I agree

[@falloutghoul1]

Evil Dead as an allegory for drug addiction works way too well. Especially the extended ending, hinting that Nia might still be possessed, because even if you managed to overcome your addiction, you'll never be truly rid of it.

[@BCMSi]

The opening sequence alone is a 10/10. More tension and intensity in a just few minutes than many hollywood horror films can muster by their highest climax, and just so effective in setting a new tone for the remake

[@Farons8]

Saw this in a packed theater with a ton of friends (some very familiar with Evil Dead, others fresh to the series) as a 16 year old. It was an utter blast, everyone had a great time

[@huntedby666]

The uncut version is by far the best and was what was advertised in the red band trailers. I love these movies and this remake did a great job, now we have another story in the evil dead verse.

[@R3B3LF1GHT3R]

So the ending with Mia seemingly being posessed I read as Mia being changed in the same way Ash was. Yes she's no longer prisoner to the forces that aided in losing her friends and family, but she has been so fundamentally changed that she isn't Mia anymore, at least mot the Mia we saw in the beginning just like Ash.

[@BoldenFMA]

Great in-theater experience. Amazing opening sequence that set the tone for the rest of the film. It just doesn't let up.

[@Mdlfh]

I loved this movie, it was so chilly and real with the lead performance. Unlike what most think, I feel the campy comes from the fact Eric survives every gruesome punishment that comes his way only to SPOILERS end up dying as if he was going to sleep.

[@jacobmay4319]

I rewatched this film a few months back and while i was fine with the "licking the knife" scene, the whole cutting your arm off with the electric carving knife looked so real and viscerally disgusting that I had to take a few minutes to keep my popcorn down

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

that scene had so much verisimilitude

[@ShireenLilith]

Been a subscriber for many years and my golly your horror reviews NEVER disappoint. Thank you for all you do

[@caleighhraee]

The opening of this movie is so amazing. That girl going from crying and begging for her life to demon voice yelling at her dad is so metal 😂

[@NightmaresinParadise]

this was the one horror movie my friends and i were too scared to watch in middle school but i finally watched it a few years ago it was awesome

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

it's amazing

[@TarksGauntlet]

New thumbnail design is looking slick dude! I hope it helps grab some more folks!

[@W0lfenstrike]

When this movie first came out, some people were bashing on it for being so different from the original*, I also had plenty of late 2000's horror remakes fresh in my mind like The Thing 2011, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th so I simply wrote it off and didn't see it until a year or so later when the discussion surrounding this movie changed to being insanely positive. *At the time I frequented a very small circle of people with... Questionable opinions, to say the least. Even my mental health improved significantly by leaving and ignoring those people. I saw it and I never expected this movie to be so damn good! I was absolutely blown away for the minimal usage of CGI and how batshit crazy it was despite the gritty and serious tone of it. Ryan is not exaggerating by saying that he can't show a single thing from the ending, because there is a literal rain of blood. I need to rewatch this movie sometime soon, I love it!

[@Dread_Mender]

FYI there are 3 volumes to the book of the dead. One in the 1981 film, one in evil dead 2013, one in Evil Dead Rise. This is referenced in Army of Darkness.

[@Hallucinxtion]

Just watched Evil Dead Rise and while I did like it, I prefer the 2013 movie. I feel like "Rise" was held back by having children centered as the ones dealing with the demon. Throughout the entire movie I already knew nothing was going to happen to the youngest daughter because-of course, right? 2013 also has better scares and kills in my opinion.

[@randomfools808]

Yes. Same. Plus the trailers showed her escaping with the daughter so I knew nothing would happen. I don't think it went far enough. Mia got stabbed multiple times and had to lose her hand in that final epic fight in the blood rain. The finale in Rise was fun but the music was nowhere near as epic and it didn't feel like she went through as much. The most brutal scenes happened after they were already possessed.

[@longstrangetrip9920]

Same! I watched last night and it didn’t hit me as much as this one did. This one also had more gory scenes, just a really good remake!!

[@randybesse7631]

I have always thought messing with the book caused time riffs and dimension jumping before the Ash vs. Evil Dead show. Once that series came, I am convinced that all it is since they pretty much did that in the show. I wish there was a line in the original or in anything that had them talk about deja vu. My opinion, but this is how they are all connected.

[@michaelmanherz7918]

Evil Dead (2013) I would consider to be one of the best horror movies in recent years. It is legitimately terrifying and is a horror film that also tries to be a good movie while also being incredibly violent. Usually I’m not a fan of excessively violent horror films because the crew of such films don’t usually put as much effort into the rest of the movie as they do the gore. This one however I feels gives us it’s all on each and every front.

[@drakechandler9014]

I always thought the post credit scene was just a cheeky joke. She’s losing blood and is unconscious, but wakes up to spooky music and then literally nothing happens. That’s the punchline. It’s still a happy ending and I like it.

[@BrendleBear]

My movie night friends had complaints about the acting from all the characters aside from Jane Levy which I thought was so strange. I thought that they all gave solid performances in this with Jane the clear standout

[@wonderlandian8465]

The acting by everyone was above average for horror movie standards. But yeah , Jane Levy was a clear standout but was also given the most to work with

[@justaguy328]

That scene of the girl in the dark basement is the stuff of nightmares. One of my favorite scenes out of any horror movie!

[@El-Gato69]

The Evil Dead remake is PHENOMENAL. As a standalone, or as a sequel, a reimagining, doesn't matter. That ending scene where Mia rips her hand off and then chainsaws the demons face and body in half. MY GOD that is just pure cinematic terror and bliss.

[@JoeGrizz1y]

At the age of 12/13, me and my brother would be picked up by our cousin and would sit at our grandma’s house until our dad would pick us up. She would rent from the nearest Ralph’s Redbox machine. This is how I watched a lot of the paranormal activity’s, sinister, strangers, and a large amount of parody horror. Among the list was Evil Dead 2013. It was the first film that I turned to her and asked “should I be watching this”. As the scene where Mia is violated by the forest was something I haven’t seen in horror at the time. I had a slight interest in horror, but making it through the Evil Dead reboot, remake, sequel really dragged me into the space of horror. It made me a huge fan of the evil dead franchise but I kind of kickstarted my appreciate for old horror as well. Going back to watch the original evil dead films as well as ones that were out of the way. As Halloween and other more mainstream films I have seen. It is very funny to read the comments and see people, who at the same age, experienced this film and it’s gruesome disgusting shock value. Til this day, I still recommend the film to anyone who ask about what the goriest movie is or what not so typical horror films are out their. As it is remembered for its brutality and creative vision. Being instantly rewatchable due to its violence and simplistic story. Which allow it to have a snappy runtime and pacing. It is also nice to say that the recent Evil Dead Rise has lived up to the hype. Providing more brutality, at a lesser level, but bringing a more narrative focused story. Both fitting within the perspective of real life problems. As 2013 focused on drug addiction being the mirror for Mia’s possession, while Evil Dead Rise mirrors the fear of motherhood and child bearing. I’m am so happy that this franchise continue to pour its best into every installment and remain consistent in terms of quality and horror.

[@xx_dreamer_xx]

One of those rare movies that are impossible to forget. Absolute carnage and almost palpable evil

[@vicentematias763]

I love how most of the film encapsulates The Evil Dead, but the final act it's such a homage to the sequels. Yeah, the monster being a double isn't that scary, but being a reference to Ash vs Evil Ash? And giving us the chance of seeing the hand-cutting and the chainsaw? I just love how it embraces all of the over the top stuff of the series via references while keeping it's scary tone.

[@CyranoSaturnis]

I love how this coexists with the original trilogy, and how Evil Dead Rise further strengthened that my theory was correct . This is a different cabin, and that’s a different book, but it serves the same cause and is only one of three books of the dead.(OG Trilogy book, 2013 book, and ED Rise book). I love this franchise, and I can’t wait to see where it’s going

[@Chicagocanine]

I figure maybe it’s in an alternate universe which is why Ash’s car is there but the events from the other film(s) didn’t happen in this universe- or at least not in the same way. The gruesome face slicing is probably the part I remember the most, except for the ending.

[@TheConcertCruizer]

Such an underrated film. Fans should have embraced it.

[@biohazard4124]

I completely agree with you. This version stuck with me so much, and I never really forgot it. The scene of the brother burying Mia alive and trying to resuscitate her made me tear up at the cinema, and I think it's primarily Jane's acting that did it for me. She made Mia a character that I cared about and wanted to see defeat the demons. I did like the OG too, but the first movie had little to no backgrounds for the characters, so it wasn't the same for me. Besides, as you have said, the 2013 version takes itself more seriously and focuses on more serious themes (drug addiction/ siblings estrangement), which were incorporated well within the horror. I believe the two movies are different and should be enjoyed in their own right.

[@wp0nx_arg]

Saw the remake in theaters when I was 17, left in complete shock of what I just saw and knew it was something unique. Fast forward ten years later, now a fan of the original trilogy too, got so excited when I read there was gonna be a sequel, and Rise made me feel the same way. It's an all time franchise that will forever hold a place in my heart

[@shereebrolaski1791]

My favorite of the series thank you for showing it some love

[@cecilbenderman6240]

i think the interesting thing about the demon manipulating David is that like. it's right? she shouldnt be in an isolated cabin with no easy medical care beyond a nurse while going thru withdrawal. withdrawal kills. the evil is definitely easily read as a metaphor for addiction, but Mia's friends are pretty realistic in how they treat her. instead of putting her in a hospital where she can go through withdrawal safely, they put her in direct danger and refuse to really listen to her. i love this movie sm

[@ScarTrek]

Watched this back at release in the cinema and loved it. Just rewatched it on NowTV and it feels like a slightly different cut. For one, David is NOT shown as possessed moments before the cabin explodes. Second, there's a very explicit scene where Eric shows David pages from the book that state a soul can be purified if the body is dismembered, burned, or buried alive. So it's not just David thinking he's found a loophole. It also leads to an extra gag in the shed where he looks like he's reaching for the chainsaw before getting the car battery and you think he's going to try dismemberment. Anyway, off to see Rise in a couple of hours!

[@deaditeera]

This is one of my all time favorite horror films ever The cast is great and Jane Levy’s performance is legendary ❤

[@menghao737]

In Rise we learn there are three copies of the Necronomicon ex Mortis, as well as being an Easter egg, this might be a clue that all the Evil Dead movies and show take place in the same universe.

[@HebiSaru21]

It was my first introduction to the Evil Dead Franchise I love it the most. It actually scared me to an extent since I watched it while camping 🤣 The older movies aren't, not scary, but they are 'old' and came before my time. And felt a bit funny or badass in comparison. I love them too, I just can't take it too seriously as a "fully focused horror movie"

[@Reverend_Nada]

Took a buddy to see this in the theater. Prior to the movie starting, bud tells me he is nervous as he hadn’t seen a horror movie since …Jurassic Park…. Didn’t have the heart to tell him about the hell he was about to go through

[@IWF97]

Just watched it for the first time before watching the video The last 15 mins probably made the band Slayer blush

[@bleachedraptor131]

Speaking to continuity, Rise confirms there’s three books and seems to imply that the one in 2013 is the second. How it got there is unknown but every official source I’ve seen does place 2013 in canon. To which (after hearing the problems you pointed out) I have to respond with my usual comment about Evil Dead continuity. “The second contradicted the first, the third contradicted the second. Don’t think too hard about it, it just works.”

[@jakemoffett1511]

I just rewatched the remake for my rankling video. I totally agree with your views, it’s great that they didn’t rehash the original and went off the rails diverting audience expectations killing David. And the tongue scene… and the arm scene… still makes me squint!

[@cmcshane2740]

Honestly Mia probably had a decent chance of dying from withdrawal even without the demons. Like, going cold turkey in a random cabin in the woods is just so incredibly dangerous

[@kawaiibev]

It’s one of my favorite movies. Seriously the way she looks when she’s possessed is one of the scariest things ever. Looking at her seriously freaks me OUT! Haven’t had this reaction since watching the exorcist.

[@llumanadii]

My absolute fav movie. Watching it in theaters was such an experience ❤

[@dankstertv9307]

The end scene with the chainsaw is the most metal shit ever

[@PANICBLADE]

I frankly love every Evil Dead entry. The original, the sequel, Army of Darkness, Ash vs Evil Dead, the remake and Rise. I love the camp, but I also love the unbridled grave terror the deadites can generate. The remake is one of the only movies to keep me up all night looking at the corners of my bedroom and ceiling, along with the Exorcist. I just saw Rise and loved how insane it got. Long Live the Evil Dead, and Hail to the King.

[@joeabernathy5402]

Naturom Demonto is the name of the book in the original movie too

[@damianarvizu1095]

I really appreciated this one. VERY intense. The requel comments are more of a comical homage to the legal challenges in part 2. The point ISN’T an adherence to canon but the nonsense found within most B-movies. I love that camp and the whole ‘73 Oldsmobile is just a lovely nod to the king himself, “Hail to the king, baby!”

[@saltlakeatrocity9771]

The problem with the movie for me was that the film starts off with tons of exposition drops, which cements the backstory as a kind of background noise. But then later when that backstory crops back up in the main story, the story treats it like the culmination of the whole movie instead of simply the culmination of the infodumps at the beginning. It didnt help that much of the exposition deliveries felt on-the-nose without much if any meaningful subtext. But i will say this movie had and still has the coolest demon eyes ive ever seen in a movie.

[@DaydreamOrca]

As someone who grew up and was a teenager during the "torture p0rn" era the Evil Dead remake is what I consider the peak of that, bringing the gritty violence, practical SFX and decent character development and writing to create something that is still mind numbingly gruesome but is always resonant in my heart. I was very messed up mentally at the time and it was encouraging to say the least to see someone like Mia suffer and survive after being subjected to so much in such a short frame of time.

[@The_Chosen_Heretic]

This man made Alien Romulus. Goddamn Alvarez knows his horror!

[@Mou5eBoy]

This was one of my first horror movies ever so I was so happy to see that you were covering it!

[@h2Ostampy]

I first saw this movie when I was 9 years old. It troatized me for a few years.

[@JayMatthews]

Wow 10 years ago? Only seem a couple of years ago I went to watch it in the cinema, still got the Bluray to. Love the remake.

[@tametalks6102]

i had honesty thought David was going to be "new ash" i like the change that the ending has and i thought it was good

[@Brendy733]

This movie still terrifies me. I love it. Love how serious it is.

[@mohamadafifazizizaidi5625]

I'm glad that more people nowadays started to appreciate this underrated gem of a 2013 -remake- *reimagining* . Almost a decade for those, including me, waiting for its sequel. Because of this maybe, so many people want to watch ED Rise, so i will watch it online.

[@levirichardosn9595]

love your channel. this is one my first fav horror movies and i love to hear someone just talk about it for a bit. i’m trying to share it with my friends now

[@stevefinnegan5142]

Ash Vs The Evil Dead is SERIOUSLY underrated

[@dgmt1]

Honestly, the remake was not very good. The writing was awful which made the characters unlikeable in stark contrast to the original movies. The cinematography and effects were fine but the story & twist was very predictable once you realized they were just making a standard 2010s-era horror movie full of tropes and a standard issue last girl scenario. If it had better writing & characters and was made as a standalone film with an evil dead theme rather than a remake then it would have been far better. But as it stands the "mixed or average reviews" assessment is fairly accurate IMO.

[@abhishekgoswami967]

I did not like the remake either... highly overrated..

[@jackfoxer5320]

Absolutely love this movie. It was one of the first horror films I've ever seen and it sparked my interest in the genre, but I was NOT ready first time watching it. Genuinely had trouble sleep ing that night, even though I was already 17. Real shame Ryan had to censor so much, the effects are so memorable in this one. Speaking of censorship, if you want to stream it online, be careful it's the uncut version. I once showed it to friends and had to rent it on Prime, but all explicit scenes were cut, including the super satisfying resolution with the abomination. It really takes a lot away.

[@maxwellleebrennan]

I remember seeing the redban trailer for this movie in the theater and it freaked me the hell out. The when it was over i turned to my mom and said 'I wanna see that" XD

[@lopirobinson1991]

The best remake I've ever seen. It switched around the end protagonist perfectly and added enough grit and gloss to make it pretty much its own original film minus the bones of the plot. The brutality of possessed Mia, cutting her tongue and frenching that chick, telling her not to cut her arm off while peeking out from the cellar (the extended edition puts in the "not another peep," desire tune lol). I wish we could've followed Mia in a sequel; rehab for her lost arm and the deadites raising hell in a psych ward or somewhere else. The cops could've brought the Necronomicon to the hospital to ask Mia what it was and what happened at the cabin and she could freak out seeing the book again before a dumb ass doctor reads it lol It would put Mia in her Mom's shoes.

[@Mirakelpung]

I really really liked this movie. The evil Dead series after the first movie went in a whole new direction as a comedy horror series, so it was very fun to see this movie's straight forward horror interpretation of the original first movie that didn't have those elements of comedy.

[@thepianoroommusic]

The remake was incredible. Had I not spent my initial watch constantly searching for Easter eggs and comparisons, it would have been the scariest movie I had ever seen. Not many movies depict evil well, but this one did. Great directing, amazing acting, and the sound engineering was incredible. That being said… go watch the new one! Evil dead rise is a more than worthy successor. The mother in the movie gave one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on film. Absolutely terrifying, and the audio engineers went above and beyond to make the audience UNCOMFORTABLE. I think the Evil Dead franchise is the strongest horror movie franchise out there.

[@juniorlsdmusic]

Nah, that ending when u think it's over and suddenly starts raining blood and the demon grabs her and chases her was scary.

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

This was one remake I really enjoyed. I'll admit that I saw the original trilogy in reverse as "Army of Darkness" was one of my dad's favorite films but he'd never seen the other two so I didn't see The Wvil Dead 1 and 2 until college and I loved them. I definitely appreciated the practical effects in the remake because that's one of my favorite parts of any horror film. I love seeing loads of gore but CGI just takes me right out of a film.

[@paulward4736]

You nailed it my man, as always 🤌🏻

[@niki7997]

From someone who loves the whole "Evil Dead" trilogy, I thought it was fantastic!😱😱😱 I was pretty young when the 1st one came out but it s always been one of my fave horror movies. If I'm remembering correctly, the original wasn't very campy like the rest. So I think they did it justice. You don't wanna see a shot for shot or word for word remake but you still want it to make sense. There's a really fine line & I think they straddled that line perfectly

[@RennyBQUEEN]

You ignore some things we know like that there are 3 books. You have the necronomicon ex mortis from 1/2 and AoD, then the book from this movie, and finally the third in Rise. The three books is set up in AoD

[@LegendOfKitty]

I haven't seen this movie since it was in theaters. At that point I may have seen Army of Darkness but not the original Evil Dead. I really liked the 2013 movie and I was NOT prepared for the twists and the ending which made everything a lot more exciting and fun. I'll have to go rewatch it now.

[@klokinstein]

I believe the narrator referred to the Necronomicon as the “Naturon Demonto” which is the name used in the 2013 film.

[@IzzyTheDyspraxicArtist]

I've watched this movie 4 times. I did not know there was a post credit scene.

[@ytunnuyt]

I absolutely loved this movie, definitively one of the best remakes I've seen

[@TheElMexicano]

Dude, Evil Dead Rise was awesome! Well worth the price for admission. The only problem was that my brother got freaked out after the elevator scene so I had to leave early. More than likely going back next week though

[@taylorconnor2315]

Ironically watched this last night after seeing evil dead rise. This movie really is a classic and will prove the test of time.

[@pickled_sneeze]

I always put off watching the remake because I love the original so much, but you've made me rethink it

The most underrated modern horror film, top 3 of all time to me.

[@msnogueres]

this is was the first horror movie i've watched on the cinema,i was 15 and i thought i would be okay because i've always watched all kinf of horror movies AT HOME i was NOT ready for the cinema experiencr of horror movies 😅💀 im going to watch evil dead rise tonight im so excited

[@MisterBolticus]

Raining Demonetisation is my favourite Slayer song

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

This movie is so underrated.

[@alexmammoth2916]

I feel like most complaints I hear from this are comparing it to Evil Dead 2. Evil Dead 2 is my favorite of the series but I also know that the original was a basic story to hang insanely violent and gory ornaments from. As you said, the sequel embraced the unintended goofiness of the first film. I like the pacing and tension as well as the over-the-top gore. I enjoy the movie for what it is and it's a good watch around Halloween.

[@incandescentdream]

I was always surprised this movie doesn't get more love. I've seen it about a dozen times and it hits all the right beats for me. I'm not sure what to think going into Evil Dead Rises. I feel like including kids just allows the film makers to take some cheap horror shots.

[@blazesepicsideburns7928]

This movie straight up traumatized me as a kid. I was like 10ish and was at a cousin’s birthday party and they had the tv on and this was the movie that happened to be playing lol. The arm ripping scene from the ending and knife licking was probably the first time I ever saw gore and violence of that nature in my life and it’s never really left my mind. Funny how this movie went from terrifying me to now being one of my faves 🫣. Guess the bloodiness of the movie started and cemented my love for all things horror 💃🏽

This is only movie in the franchise that actually reflects its title imo (haven't seen Rise yet)

Would you be willing to explore the Thing prequel at some point? I feel like it was a great concept with lackluster execution and producer intervention and it may be neat to look into ;0

LOVED this movie. Love the channel Ryan! And remember, klaatu barada nikto!

I loved this remake. Camp + gore + engaging story = awesome horror movie

Gore in movies has never bothered me but I watched this movie while pregnant. The scene where the woman slices her jaw open with glass had me gagging. I had to leave the room and get water. My husband tried to turn the movie off, but at that point I had vendetta against it for making me have such a reaction. It's held a special place in my heart ever since.

In response to how Fede Alvarez stated that Evil Dead is a requal, I like Lee Cronin's response saying that there are three different versions of the Necronomicon, all being established in Army of Darkness. The first from the Original Trilogy and the show, the second from the 2013 movie , and the third in Evil Dead Rise. As to the books looking different from movie to movie, it's established in the first season of the show that the Necronomicon can be defased. Doesn't fix every plot hole, but the series never really cared about continuity.

Its shown in army of darkness that there was three books. So I'm guessing this one was the second and the one in evil dead rise was the third.
