Dammit, I guess I gotta see this one now! It wasn’t on my very limited movie schedule, but what the hey! We’ve got a dollar theater, so I’ll wait for it there…next one I pay full price for is Transformers 2, dude!

My point of view is opposite of Sebe’s on this one…so, regardless of whether it would be worth while, I can understand an Evil Dead 4…but what’s up with the Evil Dead that I see on IMDB scheduled for 2010? And if this is just a remake of the first one, then why is it being made before the 4th movie that should pick up from Army of Darkness? Seems odd…

Hey, now. I won’t abide any Army of Darkness hate.

DMTH was a blast. I loved every minute of it even though, yes.. the ending was very predictable.

I wouldn’t say no to an Evil Dead 4, but I’d much rather see another original horror film from Raimi. This one proves without a doubt that he’s still got the chops for it.

Fair enough. I definitely think its a standalone pic.
And “The Gift” was one of my favs. I preferred it to “A Simple Plan”. I loved the performances in “The Gift”. It was very off-beat and different for Raimi. Now as far as “For Love of the Game” , I wasn’t feeling it.

Hehe, I don’t hate Justin Long. I think he’s great 99% of the time, he just got a lame character in this one. He’ll make it up in his next movie. As for “Drag” I guess I just couldn’t get past the concept. I like most of what he did with it but like “The Gift,” I didn’t feel like it had enough potential for Raimi’s talent. I got pretty much what I expected, great Raimi carnage but a concept that doesn’t terrify me or make interested in any kind of sequel.

I thought this movie flat out rocked! I am so up for more movies doing horror in this way. Head over to my blog to check out my thoughts.
I personally think an Evil Dead remake might be cool. I say no to “Evil Dead IV”. “Army of Darkness” just didn’t do it for me. Those films hit the peak with “Evil Dead II”. That movie was a masterpiece.
And why you hating on Justin Long? He’s a perfectly good stand-in for Ted Raimi.
