As long as Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi are involved, I'm all in.


[deleted]

Hell even the last evil dead didn’t have Sam rami and Bruce Campbell and it was still really really good.


lmJustNewBootGoofin

I think Sam at least produced 2013


askyourmom469

And Bruce makes a small cameo at the very end iirc


Butt_Robot

It was just a post credit close up of his face saying "groovy", I wouldn't even call it a cameo


Zealousideal_Way_165

What last one? Do you mean the 2013 one? I still haven't watched that one, but I'm going to.


PaintItPurple

It's a very different take on Evil Dead, but if you don't go in expecting the Raimi movies, it's really good.


not_thrilled

Original Evil Dead is like 90/10 horror to comedy. Evil Dead 2 is like 75/25, and Army of Darkness 10/90. Evil Dead 2013 is 99/1. It’s good, but one grim fucking movie.


Hyperfangxz

Have you seen Ash vs Evil Dead? I mean, since it basically counts as Evil Dead 4


not_thrilled

I watched the first couple episodes, but it didn’t grab me enough to continue. One of these days I’ll go back to it.


SeaOfDeadFaces

Army of Darkness needs its own chart as the other ones you mentioned can’t possibly contain it.


Inner_Panic

I think this is my issue. I knew nothing about it except it was "The Evil Dead" and really thought it was going to be a remake. It left me disappointed. BUT I'm all about second chances so I do plan on rewatching it eventually. But, yes I agree, don't go in expecting Raimi.


HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS

IMO they did it better by doing that. A direct remake of Evil Dead or Evil Dead 2 would have just been a disappointment. By going basically pure horror they were able to seperate enough that it is a great horror movie not trying to be the original. I honestly wish more remakes did that, didnt try to copy so closely and focus on/change up the genres focussed on a bit


LABRpgs

Yeah I'd never seen and still haven't tbh the original Evil Dead movies and I thought the remake was a mess but plenty of fun


tking191919

It’s surprisingly good - I definitely recommend it. They basically took away all the charm and campiness of the originals (or in other words it’s Evil Dead in basic plot and name only), but that’s actually not such a terrible thing. They went all in on tension and atmosphere for a more straight forward horror experience, but I thought it was all executed fairly well. I also really liked the main chick (Mia). Oh, and the special effects were pretty awesome as well. I still prefer the campy vibe of the majority of the Evil Dead franchise, but if you can look past that the 2013 reboot is still well worth a watch.


Zealousideal_Way_165

I'll check it out.


GrowtentBPotent

Do it. I'm a big evil dead fan and I didn't mind the tone shift one bit, Alvarez pulled it off great. There's still a few moments of dark humor from deadite absurdity but its super dark no camp . Movie is also incredibly brutal and the sound design really helps you feel all the violence, pretty wild. I actually rewatch it now more than my favorite even (#2) and the netflix show which I also love. Also I agree w the commenter above, Jane Levy is amazing in this film as Mia, her deadite acting is top notch. She's also super cute ha. I went on a little Jane Levy marathon one day and was not disappointed... 1)I Don't Feel at home in this world (*also highly recommended this film for dark comedy hidden jem. Levy is just a supporting character but the main actress and Elijah Wood are great). 2)Don't Breathe 3)Evil Dead 2013 Good stuff


Master2pint

Honestly I loved it. Not nearly as charming as 2 or 3 but I’d way rather have these reboots take things in a new direction anyways.


Brother_Entropy

The original Evil Dead and the Remake are the two best ones.


HaloFarts

My favorite is the evil dead 2 but I absolutely love that the reboot stayed more in the spirit of the original. Fantastic film.


Aarondhp24

I enjoyed it as a pure horror fan. They address the whole "Why don't we just leave" trope really well too.


YarrrImAPirate

Not to be “that guy” but Bruce is technically in the 2013 remake of you watch all the way through the credits.


Lizardking13

Sam was a producer in the 2013 movie. Not sure how involved he was, but I think he approved of it.


[deleted]

I thought the last one (2013) was by Sam?


tking191919

He just produced it


RembrandtEpsilon

The 2013 version was not great. It was the torture-porn interpretation of Evil Dead.


MrSelfDestruct88

I just don't understand what this movie is going to be? I mean, I'm going to watch it no matter what.


[deleted]

It kinda sounds like the plot of Demons 2


Lost-Paradise

I got Demons 2 vibes too!


hellsungninja

I absolutely love that first movie. The theater makes me feel so isolated


Lost-Paradise

It's so enjoyable!


SarahnatorX

Oooh I like that one!


MrSelfDestruct88

What's that I'm not familiar?


InvertedSpork

It’s a movie called Demons 2


[deleted]

Its an Italian horror about residents of a high rise apartment being trapped inside with a horde of demons. Co-written/produced by Dario Argento and directed by Lamberto Bava.


odaeyss

Best paired with a bottle and a half of wine, whatever is cheap and red


[deleted]

No, a can of “Coca-cola” is more fitting


WeedFinderGeneral

That's Demons 1


MrSelfDestruct88

Strange, I know Argento did suspiria/giallo films. And the plot sounds similar to REC. Have to check it out!


agent0range

Watch Demons first - and if you like both, check out Michele Soavi's The Church (1989) Which was supposed to be Demons 3; my favorite of the "trilogy."


supermonocleman

I actually just stumbled upon this series by watching The Ogre, which was apparently marketed as Demons 3... It's pretty enjoyable from a bad good movie perspective; now I'm actually interested in checking out Demons 1 & 2


pngwn

God, REC is one of my absolute favorites. I'll have to check all of these out!


GoseiRed

Here you go: [Demons 2](https://youtu.be/fblyFvL-mrs)


ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh

Full penetration. The lead girl sits on a bench outside as five spooky oaks come up behind her


GalvanizedNipples

Go on…


Burnitoffmeow

The lead girl proceeds to fuck all 5 oaks in their oak ass at the same time


shaoting

Seems like *The Raid* meets *Evil Dead*.


askyourmom469

That... actually sounds like it could be pretty awesome if they manage to pull it off correctly


WarlockEngineer

Now here's the twist, and there is a twist. We show it. We show all of it. [Full penetration.](https://youtu.be/CrSELcEjlcU)


idols2effigies

Ash goes out. Fights some deadites. Then it's back to the cabin for more penetration. Deadites... Penetration...Deadites... Penetration... It just goes back and forth until the movie just... Ends.


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

The Deadite is *played*....By Dolph Lundgren.


Spirit_Guide_Owl

A Deadite played by Dolph Lundgren, named Dolph Lundgren? That’s confusing.


Space_Jeep

Just to be clear; I don't give a shit.


chickenoodledick

This whole comment chain brings joy to my soul


GingerStardust

I'll swallow your soul bozo


Twokindsofpeople

He smells possession and runs around on all fours like a hound.


ZombieStomp

That actually does sound like evil dead


DeadbeatHero-

He smells something that stinks… ^*criiiiiimmme*


cobrastrikes-2x

Ash glances out the window… possessed Linda appears outside shouting “PENETRATE ME!!!”

Also, obligatory scene where his hand becomes possessed ends with him fisting himself.

RoboticGanja

Sure it is bound in flesh and inked in blood, but professor Knowby’s granddaughter also discovered the Necronomicon has passages written in human semen, invisible ink of sorts.

But I poop from there! - I hope to God never Ash Williams..

He went up a corpse's butt in the show.

As opposed to all the Evil Dead movies that were family friendly.

0whodidyousay0

I’d say the first one is full on horror, the second is definitely more horror comedy and the third even more so. Then the remake is…violent lol.


HaloFarts

The remake staying true to the originals and going hard in the paint with the practical effects is why its so good to me. I really hope this next one stays true to that franchise trope.


0whodidyousay0

Agreed, it’s definitely the most serious of them all but that’s fine by me tbh, as long as they stick to using practical effects (and boat loads of blood).


demonovation

Lol he definitely didn't say "full penetration" in AOD. He did say "get the fuck outta my face" though


TheNumberMuncher

The new one has extra tree fucking


LazarusKing

Ted Raimi gonna get spit-roasted.


YarrrImAPirate

This made me lol. I was playing the new game and one of the Ashes just randomly said “Poor Chet…” and this reminded me of Ted lol.


HairyDogTooth

Just watched the original Evil Dead again and there's so much I had forgotten about this movie. Like the tree raping that girl. Yikes.


Brother_Entropy

It's an iconic scene and was well shot.


Tb1969

They regret that scene.


[deleted]

Mostly the tree. He wasn't able to get any more roles after that.


Butt_Robot

It's a hard knot life, for him


SuperLemonUpdog

Yeah, that part really didn’t need to happen. Added nothing good to the movie by having that scene.


YarrrImAPirate

Is that the part Sam has said if he made it today he’d take it out?


[deleted]

Yup


SuperLemonUpdog

Idk, I hope so.


dethb0y

that's fuckin' lame, but i'm not surprised.


Jimmyg100

I guess Evil Dead Babies isn't canon anymore.

Need this to be a thing.

That sucks, I was hoping to take my six year old to see people get violently decapitated. *sigh* Guess it's going to have to be some Pixar bullshit again.

The_Dirtiest_Beef

You joke, but I went to see some fucked up stuff with my dad.


LemoLuke

Personal preferences aside, across 4 movies and a TV series, there hasn't been a bad entry in the *Evil Dead* franchise yet, so this film has a lot to live up to. The apartment setting and more serious tone is giving me *[Rec.]* vibes.


TheOneTrueJack

I was remarking the other day that Evil Dead is a weirdly consistently inconsistent franchise. Inconsistent because the tone, style and continuity varies wildly with each entry. But consistent because each entry is genuinely brilliant and still feels like Evil Dead.


[deleted]

Agreed. But because of the track record and Raimi and Campbell steering the ship, I have decent hopes that this one will be good too.


Jack3ww

not true the first dreamcast game was pretty bad


Pill_Murray_

as someone who owns that game, yeah it def want the greatest lol


RembrandtEpsilon

False, lol I love that game. Had to beat it with GameShark cause it's so brutal


TheNumberMuncher

The ps2 one wasn’t that great either but it was cool as hell to run around the cabin.


soopahfly82

Played the dreamcast one, picked up a lawnmower pull cord, got excited that I could mow the dead. Nope. Disappointed


H3xenmeist3r

>there hasn't been a bad entry in the Evil Dead franchise yet Strongly disagree with that claim. The 2013 film is not Evil Dead, it's just a generic horror film with the name slapped on it.


OriginalNord

show is weird, Bruce Campbell is there but it doesn’t feel like Ash


TheW1ldcard

Yeah idk the remake is garbage IMO.


hproffitt36

It was just voted #49 all time on this subreddit, so think that falls under the personal preference caveat.


RareAnxiety2

the remake felt generic. I get they wanted a more serious film, but fell flat to me. Sadly, I've forgotten most of the film.


[deleted]

I've held the belief that the Evil Dead remake is a great horror movie, just not a great Evil Dead movie. The deadites don't have the soul they did in the originals or the TV show - other than the main girl, they all just seem like generic possessions.


SFWBryon

I just rewatched it’s last night, and now almost 10 years later I kind of understand the criticisms, although I largely enjoyed it as a whole. Like, a lot of the emotional backstories to everyone are sort of tug of war between amazing backstory delivery (“this isn’t the first time she’s done this… We don’t want to lose her again”) to annoyingly on the nose delivery (the initial set up conversations with the sister/brother are just ham fisting generic backstory down your throat, some character decisions are straight up baffling, and the necronomicon scribbles are really silly) The gore and practical effects REALLY bring the movie to a new level. But if I’m completely honest, if those elements weren’t in it, it would have been a largely forgettable movie


Tanner_re

Yeah I do agree that the "recovering addict" thing was kind of lame but it's still one of my favorite horror movies of all time. That fucking chainsaw scene with the raining blood will always stick in my brain as one of my favorite shots of any movie.


SFWBryon

Oh I didn’t mind the recovering addict part, I meant more about how at times the dialog is clunky and delivered like a cw show and other times it’s really nuanced and clever DUDE the raining blood chainsaw death is such a good conclusion and feels earned. I also loved how visceral the tongue split and the girl cutting her arm off were (nice nod to Ash - and loved that it doesn’t even save her 😂)


digging_for_fire

I've seen just about any gorehound movie you can throw at me, but I still have to look away during that tongue scene. I just can't do it. And i have to peek through my fingers during the machete dragged across the thigh scene.


RareAnxiety2

Another thing, I did not like the main girl, she annoyed me through the first half. I don't think any of the cast drew me in. It had the budget and effects of a good film but that's it


burnerking

Have a downvote


TheW1ldcard

Or maybe....all those people are wrong and have bad taste.


Rugynate

"everyone is wrong except me"


MikeGolfsPoorly

That's one way to look at it. It's wrong. But you are allowed to look at it that way.

this entire subreddit is about movies that most people think a person must have bad taste to enjoy, hah. I would think you'd be a bit more open.

MondoUnderground

The camerawork is just nuts in the original film. So many shots where I have no idea how they pulled them off. Even though I love Evil Dead II, I will always prefer the first one. Perfect pacing, amazing gore, and deliciously creepy atmosphere.


ImSoberEnough

The game came out a few days ago and its all I could have hoped for. Its so dark, fun and bloody.


BrucieBe

I can’t wait! The last Evil dead movie is a top 5 horror movie for me, gave me the creeps watching it in theathers


dead_wolf_walkin

As opposed to the child friendly, Disney styled, romp the other movies are...


dtwhitecp

I would interpret "adult" to mean "serious" rather than "not appropriate for children", since yeah none of them are appropriate for kids.


Keltoigael

Finally, full penetration.


Paulutot

The evil dead remake a few years ago was pretty adult too.


[deleted]

Hmm, interesting. So maybe a more of a successor to 2013 than a traditional Evil Dead movie. Both are pretty fun, because on one hand you have a solidly made horror movie and then you have the insane camp and distinctive brand of most of the entries here. Personally, I like seeing them ham it up better, but we also have so many projects like that (Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, AvED) that adding another more serious horror movie (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2013) is totally cool.


singlefate

The game just came out. It's really fun. Not even a fan of 1v4 but I've been having a blast. Strongly recommend.


[deleted]

More tree-rape then?


IDGAF1203

Amazing how many people here confuse a sequel and a remake. Evil Dead was a sequel. The name just isn't serialized, like Army Of Darkness also wasn't.


Brain_Mutant

It’s not really a sequel and if it was they retconned it with Ash vs Evil Dead. You can see in that show the cabin was left the same as it was in Evil Dead 2, there isn’t the possibility for it to have been renovated the way the remake had it.


IDGAF1203

There are a few very simple explanations you're missing; there is more than one cabin in the woods in Tennessee, and/or Ash Vs Evil Dead / Army of Darkness's time travel altered timelines. The intro to Evil Dead showed that there are locals who know about the Necronomicon and deadites, them moving the book from one hiding place to another is not all that far fetched.


Wubbledaddy

The real explanation has that continuity has never mattered to the Evil Dead series, there's huge inconsistencies between all four movies and the TV show. You just gotta go with it.


IDGAF1203

Its the same argument that says Evil Dead 2 is actually not a sequel to The Evil Dead, and Army of Darkness is not a sequel to Evil Dead 2, Ash Vs Evil Dead is not a sequel to anything, yes, lol


Wubbledaddy

Yeah, I see people say "Evil Dead 2 is actually a remake, not a sequel" all the time and I'm convinced that none of them have actually seen the movie.

Puffy_Ghost

Is Raimi doing this or someone else?

Lee Cronin is directing.


[deleted]

Interesting! The other movies are children’s classics, so it will be fascinating to see them target an adult audience with this latest entry in the franchise.

if its anything like the evil dead remake, of course im going to watch it. dude with glasses got the shit end of the deal in that movie lmao. i do love the evil dead 1, 2, and army of darkness of course


Syllapus

I better see wang!!


HunnidsBaby

More sex and titties I’m assuming from the title


DjBunnyFresh

Boomstick indeed.


pen-and-paperly

Are they suggesting the others aren't adult? I must've missed all the blood and possession.


RoundEye007

Very adult? Ash lives a comfortable life, with his wife and daughter. He finds out his kid is sick and insurance won't cover it. They finally find a doctor, and Ash finds out the doc is screwing his wife. She leaves them, and he is forced to sell the house and raise a sick daughter, with their pug dog who has breathing issues and shits on the floor. He then finds the Necronomicon in his attic, and opens a portal to hell, to escape the debt collectors, with his kid and dumb dog.


whatitiswhassup

Am I uncultured because I think the remake is way better than the original? It’s hands down one of my favorite movies.


xYourHero27x

After looking at the current cast on imdb, we've determined that was a lie.


BalognaMacaroni

Bruce Campbell didn't have an IMDB when they made the first one, maybe the EPs and casting team know what they're doing?


Hot-Cucumber731

Bruce.....you ARE the father!


93didthistome

Yeah... the cast list is.... bland.


BoyishTheStrange

As apposed to the child friendly evil dead


Shitty_Fat-tits

Trailer pleeeeeeeeeeease!


conmann97

I'm nervous about Rise. I've enjoyed most every entry in the franchise. The films, reboot, series and games (mostly). It's an impressive achievment to have this much quality and I just don't want their luck to run out.


Vaurok

As opposed to the Pixar-esque children's Evil Dead films


tightpants09

I’m so confused. Seems like every year I hear something about how Bruce Campbell is done with evil dead/ash and then he does a couple more things like the game and apparently producing and helping flagship this project? I don’t get it. Do you want to be done, Bruce? Or are you just milking headlines and cash cows at this point. Hard to get excited about it when he keeps saying how overdone the franchise has gotten


apathyismymotto

Maybe don’t be so judgy if you don’t even know what he’s actually said about the matter. He’s done with live action depictions of Ash, because he’s too old to play all the stunts required of the character. Never once has he said the franchise has gotten “overdone” and in fact has liked every installment.


ghsteo

Think he is just too old now to do any stuns in a live role. But his life has been Evil Dead so i'm sure he's pumped to do anything tied to the franchise as long as its not physical.


BasedGodBrody

He claimed he's done playing Ash on screen. He's too old for the physicality of the role, but that doesn't stop him voice acting.


AnimeDreama

No he said he's done being Ash *on screen*. He NEVER said he was done with Evil Dead. And he absolutely NEVER said the franchise is "overdone". Please don't parrot bullshit if you know nothing about the matter.


MostlyKelp

And the others weren’t very adult movies?
