Talk about family drama...

Evil Dead Rise

    Sooo....First I watched Evil Dead 2 in the late '80s. Then I watched the first Evil Dead movie shortly after that and they were polar opposites in their respective concepts. ED2 was comedy/horror, and ED1 was just straight up horror. Then Army of Darkness in the 90s, and that was more comedy then horror. Then some people ruined the flow with Evil Dead in 2013 and called it a "re-imagining", which is bullshit speak for "reboot for money". This is the first of the franchise to not include Bruce Campbell. And also why I don't care about it. Yet for some reason, I picked the third version of the entire franchise and it's really more realistic to calling itself a "stand alone".  It also does not include Bruce Campbell. 

    Or plot is simple,  domestically broken family survives an earth quake. But a whole has opened up to a vault in the bottom of the buildings parking garage and Jr. decides to snoop. He grabs some paperwork, a couple of records, and a leather bound book of the dead. It was bound with claws, for fuck sake! Have you not seen a horror film at all? Anyhoo, opens book, plays records, and conjures a demon that posses mom. Good job, kid. You trying to put your mom in a grave? Because that's how these things happen.

    And man, does mom know how to clean house. She destroys her neighbors, possess one of her daughters, and said daughter kills son. The mommy...um...grows both spiritually, and physically into a multi-limbed beast of burden that just needs to be put into a wood chipper. 

    After a nasty little elevator ride, that very thing just happens and I hope you like the color red...because there's dump trucks full of it.

Red looks good on ya!

    True enough, as a stand alone it is pretty good. I just rather it didn't have the Evil Dead title because that conjurers a quirky horror film, not some nasty bloodbath. Otherwise, go ahead and watch it!

Saturday: I really hope there's no corny puns....heh.....
