Evil Dead

Since there appears to longer be a search feature on the board, I didn't check to see if there was a thread buried somewhere. But who cares.

Will anyone else be attended a late showing of this tonight? Me and a couple of friends will be at the midnight showing and I could not be more excited for this movie. Especially with all the great word of mouth.

I've got a couple of busy weekends ahead and must see Jurassic Park first, but this is definitely on the list. I like how it's finding its own voice through gore instead of the camp of the original movies, while also keeping the "that tree is raping that girl!" part.

But of course!

I will be there tonight as well.

Can't wait!!

If this is successful enough to get a sequel, will they break off and do their own story or go with the premise of Evil Dead 2? Evil Dead 2 is when it really got campy.

I can't. I'll be in tech...

Really!

It's looking like the casting of Jane Levy was a stroke of brilliance. She will probably be such a standout.

Roger Ebert gave it 1 star.

colorthehours... here's an interview with Bruce Campbell where he talks about the films coming together to bring the characters together

and oooh.. based on the article we have to stay till the end of the credits! fun!

Jordan, that's Jane Levy from Suburgatory (and also original recipe Mandy on season 1 of Shameless) and yes, she is a dead-ringer of Emma Stone. Also a real red-head:

Ugh. My friend cancelled on me, so I guess I'll go tomorrow morning.

You have friends?

The old man rambled for months on his relationship with Levi that ended up not existing. Who's taking bets on this one too?

Well, it was a bit of a disappointment. Definitely wasn't the most terrifying film I've ever experienced - most of the scares are given away in the red band trailer. Even the gore, I felt, could have been pushed further. But as far as this brand of horror movie goes, it sure is a hell of a lot of fun. It's nightmarish, disgusting, twisted, relentless, and loud. The biggest factor missing, however, is a sense of humor. The movie ends up lacking the campiness to match the gore or the brutality to pack a punch. But I definitely got my money's worth and will for sure be seeing it again.

Oh, and the post-credits "scene" was needless and a total waste of time. Talk about pandering.
