Evil Dead Burn reviews praise brutal new Evil Dead entry
Showed my wife the trailer for EVIL DEAD BURN to convince her to watch it with me. She looked at me with disgust and seriously thinks something is wrong with me. Alas...solo ticket.
When I watched "Raising Arizona" in a theater with my now-ex and her mother, all the scenes I laughed at horrified them. That might have been a sign.
Yeh, but movies solo also means: You don't have to answer: what did they say or what's happening? The popcorn and snacks are ALL for you.
Oooh, moral mismatch I watched The Walking Dead to teach my body about an experience I didn't understand other people enjoying. Hahaha now I'm a TWD evangelist. Still prefer romance to horror, though. Zombies are profit motive, humans build systems, and all stories are morality stories.
Army of Darkness is a much better choice
I’m down for EVIL DEAD BURN, but this franchise has its roots in physical comedy and silliness (if EVIL DEAD 2 and ARMY OF DARKNESS count as “roots”). I’d really, really like to see it return to that. It doesn’t need Bruce Campbell to do that.
Problem is the template’s been set with these new EVIL DEADs, and for it to go full comedic will get some people pissy. Eh, fuck ‘em. Shop smart, shop S-Mart.
My feeling is that the studio, starting with Evil Dead and solidifying with Evil Dead Rise, clearly (and probably correctly) decided it was way easier, both creatively and box office wise, to do straight horror with the slightest touch of humor than to attempt full-on horror comedies.
I hear ya, but even as brutal as some of the Evil Dead films have been..and im 2013 version as the darkest, the last Evil Dead, & The Mummy (which I consider part of the franchise. thats just me though) have all been violent but fun violent. Like so over the top it actually borders comedic & silly
Sam is convinced the roots are more straight horror. He was pretty clear about that in 2013. And the original film and short aren’t very silly. But If the roots are Raimi and Campbell themselves, well then silliness is undeniable.
This is my thing, too. Like, I'll enjoy a horror movie, but the new EVIL DEAD movies are these nerve-shredding slogs that seemed designed to be endurance tests. What happened to the wry sense of humor that made the series pop in the first place?
EVIL DEAD BURN is a full-sprint horror flick that'll leave you gasping for air. Hell yeah.
Prepping by showing my mom the Raimi movies. She'd only seen Rise and the TV show before. I watched the first two forever ago, like 15+ years ago. Plus I'd never seen Army of Darkness. A Deadite-filled week for us.
I just don't know what to think now. Will it end up that THE MUMMY actually the EVIL DEAD movie I was looking for?
Tix for Evil Dead Burn acquired! I’m actually rather skeptical this will be good, but I need to see for myself 😬
Dune 3 trailer just came out couple of hours ago. I'm more hyped for Dune 3🍿 Right after we see Avengers: Doomsday Christmas time, we're watching Dune 3 same evening lol. I'm sure mostly everyone is doing the same🍿🤘
Although I liked the last few new Evil Dead, they seem to be going far from the original material which was more horror comedy. This is a reason I loved Ash Vs Evil Dead. It was back to form.
I’ve yet to dislike an entry, but I know it’s a really mean one. I’m not sure how much meaner they can get. I wanna see a shift back toward a little more humor.
Have some faith, my horror friend.
