The Evil Dead

Stevie’s Spooky Season List #15 https://boxd.it/Ny0Ue 🎶”We're going to get you. We're going to get you. Not another peep. Time to go to sleep.”🎶 * *Ash is truly better than me! I would have put all the Deadites in the basement, torched the place and taken my chances with the trees. But I finally understand the evil m*lesting tree reference from Cabin in the Woods now. (Kind of wish I didn’t, cause man that wasn’t necessary) But overall this was truly outstanding and far more truly disturbingly bloody and grimy than I thought it would be. I honestly miss when gore used to look like this, you can tell how much work was put into it. Kind of gorgeous in a way. And it successfully made my stomach turn. Those d*mn sneaky, pencil stabby Deadites, I love them. Cheryl cackling from down in the basement was so great. The different facial effects for each Deadite is fantastic, though Linda is my favorite. It looks like melted clown makeup. And Bruce Campbell you sexy beast! What a great final boy. He was honesty pretty smart during the whole affair and found his fighting footing. Having to endure a pretty nasty Deadite beating, literally. Looking forward to seeing his character evolution, because I know that man is traumatized. (What do you mean they got his sister, best friends and his girlfriend?? Geez!) And what a first outing for Sam Raimi (directing) and Bruce Campbell (producing/acting), being as young as they were. On to Dead By Dawn.
