if it's blazing such a scalding hot new trail then why's it an evil dead sequel

· · Web · 2 · 0 · 4

because the thing is that if it's really such a great movie (maybe it is idk the trailer sucks) then it will have precisely one effect: there will be more evil dead movies, and more movies trying to be like evil dead

maybe i'm nothing but a grump but this just feels like another entry in the Fucked Up Practical Gore Arms Race that defined the evil dead remake and basically every single post-2010s horror movie with an inferiority complex about the pg-13-ification of the genre. i dunno man i'm just not convinced. this doesn't look new at all and i'm BEGGING modern cinematographers to please ask anyone in grip/electric to put even a single fucking light on set

@sarahzedig didn't they try a new trail for evil dead once already and it sucked. wouldn't a more accurate review be "it is different enough from the old thing to feel mildly new while containing all the elements of the old thing that you expect and demand"
