n/t


Too blown away to comment coherently

I will say that the thought went through my head that "this might be the best horror movie of all-time" and wasn't immediately dismissed


also: stay through the credits

I'm torn... you usually don't troll about movies... but you do troll a hell of a lot...

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

I am dead serious. I loved the movie. I used full punctuation and capital letters and everything.

 

[DarkAudit]

All I've seen have been the TV ads, and the distinct lack of Bruce Campbell in them makes me say, "fuck this movie."

Why did you spoiler that when you didn't spoiler it in your first post? Lol

Yes, but Bruce Campbell is iconic to the Evil Dead franchise. To imply that he was not a part of this one was a dealbreaker for me.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

this is a really stupid argument, and I give up since you're the loser in it anyways since you're not seeing a fucking great horror movie

 

[DarkAudit]

I probably wasn't going to see it anyway. No time or money for any movies lately.

So I win.

 

[Frank]

He's old and gave his blessing to the new movie. I'm pretty stoked to watch it.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

I will go see this, Charlie Don't Surf , you just sold it to me.

 

[DarkAudit]

Well there ya go then. I'm satisfied.

Still not likely to go see it, but for the reasons I'm not likely to go see any movie at all. Hell, I can't even find the time to watch any DVDs or streams at home right now.

 

[Shawn]

Unless we suddenly become bad parents and drug Hailey so she'll stay asleep through a movie like this, I guess I'll be seeing it in three months when it hits rental.

 

[Gilgamesh]

It's a pretty terrible, predictable and cliche movie. I actually recommend you don't go see it. It's more of a rental.

I say: Awesome movie, loved it. You'll say: I know right?
I say: Terrible movie, complete tripe. You'll say: See? Now you know it's good.

You make it so easy

hey come on, I was just being snarky about your taste, people say the same shit about like fade and I

 

[Covar]

I don't like most horror movies (I think it's the idea of the genre, I like a lot of the ones I see), but I'm glad to hear that the franchise is doing okay.

Except people tend to have real opinions based on what fade says, they only joke about him hating everything.

You on the other hand, well you saw your own response.

Last good horror movie I've seen was Cabin in the Woods. Same kind of quality?

I really really loved Cabin in the Woods, but I think I like Evil Dead better since at least the tone is more consistent and the ending a lot more focused.

 

[Necronic]

Definitely looking forward to seeing it. First time I watched it (ED2 was the first one I saw I think) I really wanted it to be scary, and it wasn't. Drag Me to Hell revitalized my hope for the horror genre, Cabin in the Woods accelerated it farther, I hope this can keep that trend up.

slight Evil Dead (2013) ending intrepretation spoiler

Spoiler

I think it's Cabin in the Woods canon

It's not great or anything, but I thought it was good. You'll have to put up with the usual characters making stupid choices, but it throws in gore worthy of the Evil Dead (virtually all practical effects, aside from a little CG here and there) and manages to actually pull some surprises. Hey, I'm just happy it's not another bad horror remake.

I thought the choices mostly made sense, especially consideirng the various states of shock everyone had to be in

 

[Bowielee]

If it doesn't have any of the tongue in cheek self-awareness of Evil Dead 2, I have no interest in seeing it.

 

[Espy]

I wish I wasn't so busy this weekend. I really want to see it. Sigh.

 

[Shawn]

The trailers give me the impression there's a lot of self induced torture porn in this one.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

People get FUCKED up

Gore was not the reason that I loved the Evil Dead series.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Gore was not the reason that I loved the Evil Dead series.

And what separated it from all the other generic horror.

 

[Bowielee]

I loved Evil Dead for the same reason I love Brain Damage/Dead Alive. It's aware of the conventions of the genre and makes fun of them.

In another way, it's what made Cabin in the Woods as unique/amazing as it was.

Except the original, first Evil Dead was supposed to be a straight up horror flick. But even Raimi himself admitted that it was so amateur in so many ways that it wound up becoming an unintentional camp classic. Hence Evil Dead 2, which remakes the first and just says "Screw it. Let's Larry, Curly, and Moe this shit!"

This new one is meant to be taking what the original was meant to be: legit horror. Apparently the gore is off the charts and the majority of it is practical, so I'm down for that alone. Plus, MovieBob gave it a solid thumbs up and I share his opinion on most things.

When people talk about how good Evil Dead is, they're rarely referring to the first one.
