    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Man, Never Take Sweets from a Stranger (1960) might be the realest Hammer Films entry ever. First two-thirds are an uneasy but potent mix of social issue film and courtroom drama, and the way it addresses pedophilia, victim-blaming mentality, and how men in powerful position can have a system that enables and protects them feel truly ahead of its time, all the more disquieting as the targets here are young children. Then the final act takes all those real-world elements, and channels them mercilessly into Hammer's monster horror territory, becoming one of the creepiest, most horrifying stretches I've seen in quite some time.

    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    It's a sequel.

    Fede Alvarez (writer/director) said it was always supposed to be a sequel. The events with Ash happened there 30 years earlier.

    Alvarez's movie is a sequel in name only. (That line of his sounds as if it were written by a studio publicist.)

    If they had called it "Blood Acres" or "Camp Demonwood" or whatever, I doubt would have made a difference to the audience, except it would have made the movie harder to advertise.

    Camp Demonwood sounds like something that starts with a BangBros logo.

    I struggled to finish it.

    From my Letterboxd:

    No. Poor direction (I hate, hate, hate cheap POV shots in horror, and this is crammed full of them), the acting is terrible, the characters do dumb things (you are in a cabin with four other people, but sure, go investigate the woods yourself in your bathrobe) and the story cheats for suspense (terrified character screaming and smashing on the front door of the tiny cabin, and conveniently none of the others are concerned enough to actually see what is happening....until the last minute!).


    With Crimewave, one of the very worst films I have ever seen (and makes this look like The Wild Bunch), me and early Raimi are not simpatico.

    Also this logic doesn't make sense.

    Yes it does. Irish's point is there is nothing in the film that directly ties it to the original characters other than the name. He's right.

    It's a bad remake anyway.

    Ash's car is still there from the original, and the door is still broken from Ash and his friends.

    Also when did we collectively decide that we can say that a director's own words about a movie can be thrown aside?

    "Nah, that's not what he meant"

    I love all the Evil Dead movies and the show. Also Crimewave is goofy fun.

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    Anyone who likes early Raimi owes it to themselves to seek out Intruder.

    I love all the Evil Dead movies save Army of Darkness. That's one's not even a horror film compared to the first two.

    In other news, I fucking loved The Lost Boys, guys. It was The Warriors with vampires, an 80s music video, an EC horror comic book story, an allegory for burgeoning homosexuality, and cheesy 80s fun all wrapped up in one package. Add awesome stylized visuals and creative editing to its killer premise, and you have one of the best films from the eighties. I had an absolute blast watching this for the first time, and look forward to revisiting it again and again. If I saw that when I was a kid, it'd be my favorite movie of all time until the end of time.

    I adore Army of Darkness, but not a fan of the original. I’ll have to try it again. I think I saw them in reverse order, so that’s probably why.

    Currently watching the slapstick / splatter masterpiece that is Evil Dead II.

    I've also heard it the other way around.

    Jen saw and loved the original at release, and felt utterly betrayed by number 2 going slapstick.

    This is great.

    Fun movie. Very quotable. I like how hard it plays to a teen crowd, flattering the audience: The cool kids are actually vampires but it's alright because they think you're cool, too.

    The only thing I don't like about it is the same thing I don't like about a lot of 80s productions --- big action climaxes on movies that weren't action pictures. (See also: "Ghostbusters" and "Witches of Eastwick," both of which becomes less interesting in their final 30 minutes.)

    I'll take the first half of "Army of Darkness" and leave the rest. "Evil Dead 2" still reigns. I almost think watching the first one is a pre-requisite because it makes the second one more fun.

    Btw, for anyone who hasn't seen it, all 3 seasons of "Ash vs Evil Dead" are on Netflix now. https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/ash-vs-evil-dead
