    The final scene of the cabin burning while it rains blood is visually insane.

    The people who made this woke up, threw their hands in the air, said “fuck it” and then proceeded to go absolutely insane

    Fine, I’ll be the old fart in the room. Let’s talk home improvement for a minute here. To be more specific, home improvement television. Ever watched one of those shows? There is always one episode where some city dwelling couple wants to go rural and buy a farm. They often have too much money and end up buying a gorgeous historical building. But they are used to all the modern commodities and luxury which unfortunately isn’t present there. They then proceed to gut the building, remodel and refit it so it will suit their needs and in the end will look like a house everyone else has. With, of course, the occasional exposed beam here or there, because, hey! it’s…

    I’ve got way too many feelings (all of them positive) stirring around inside of me having just seen this phenomenally entertaining remake/tribute to write a proper review, so I’m just going to list some of the many things I love about it. I love… 1. …the fact that it pays significant tribute to both 1981’s landmark EVIL DEAD and 1987’s absurdly creative EVIL DEAD II, in a number of interesting ways while also containing many great surprises of its own. In fact, the last 15 minutes go in an entirely unexpected and incredibly exciting direction and it’s JUST SO AWESOME. 2. …the wonderfully cringe-inducing special effects. You are literally showered in blood and viscera to the point that it becomes…
