Missing Ash so much right now
Discussion
I was expecting a cameo or smthing. I think it was a bit "too serious"
Exactly
I feel like we're saying the same thing 🤷🏽
Oh man. The last 10 minutes of 10 Cloverfield Lane still haunts me. Despite really enjoying the rest, the damn ending was so jarring. I found myself actively talking to the screen begging it to end. And it just kept going.
It should have been credits when she saw the ship. Maybe I'll hold off on Evil Dead Rises 😅
Don't hold off. I think it's good. In a modern horror way.
But I still think it would've been better if it was it's own thing and evil dead kept its comedy horror charm🤷🏽
If you go to Rise.
Think that you're going to see something like the exorcist meets hereditary.
Don't think you're getting quips wit and delusions of grandeur in the main character resulting in a cartoon like almost 4th wall breaking character🤷🏽
I'll probably still give it a go. In a way I almost wouldn't want that camp maddness without Bruce Campbell doing his thing.
Did you see the reboot? It was a lot more like that. But I will say I liked rise way better than the reboot which kind of turned me off.
But at the same time to play devil's advocate if you read my live notes I considered that maybe it was having seen the reboot and already getting used to the fact the comedy was gone that might've prepared me for rise which might be why I was more ok with it🤷🏽
Take it all with a grain of salt. And my advice always is go see it yourself and make your own opinion.
Then we can discuss after🤷🏽
I did not watch the reboot yet. I have a tendency to watch movies like, 5 years or more too late 😂 I also think I subconsciously avoid reboots or reimaginings now, a lot of the time it just feels unnecessary. Although a tonal change from the humor to something a little darker might be cool.
It's kind of like I could watch the reboot/prequel to The Thing, which did have some cool ties to the original, but ultimately just left me wanting to rewatch the 1982 version.
I did however watch all of Ash vs. Evil Dead which I found pretty delightful.
Probably unpopular opinion but that's what I liked about the thing remake/prequel🤷🏽
When it came out I hadn't seen the thing. So I rented it from blockbuster then went and saw the new one.
First.
It was great because that was my first experience watching the thing which is a great film.
Second I went in thinking ok is it going to be different? Or are they going for a shot for shot thing like psycho with Vince vahn"
Then the thing went on and it was totally different and I was like what's happening????
And only at the end did I realize this happened before the original and I read like OH SHIT THOSE WERE THE BODIES AND SUCH!
And that read like a big brain canon moment.
I saw The Thing From Another World (1951), but I’m not sure that’s the original you’re referring to.
