If you're a fan of the Evil Dead movies, which vibrate with Sam Raimi's visual psychosis and Bruce Campbell's bug-eyed mania, you may find yourself disappointed by the Evil Dead reboot that the two just produced. The original movie trilogy was a slapsticky sendup of 1970s horror movies. Unfortunately the reboot is just …
How do you make an Evil Dead movie after Cabin in the Woods?
In the new Evil Dead movie, five teenagers go to a cabin in the woods, and wind up raising something... sinister. Does that sound familiar? It's basically the premise of Cabin in the Woods, the horror spoof that Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon put out last year. Was Evil Dead director Fede Alvarez nervous about the…

Modernized Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are getting made whether…
The first reviews for the Evil Dead remake dropped this weekend, praising Fede Alvarez‘s movie for getting right to the gore, stripping out the silly and offering heaps of fan service (which wasn't necessarily a good thing for some reviewers).

In between making the disastrous Spider-man 3 and Oz the Great and Powerful, director Sam Raimi made what The Middleman once called "a zombie palate cleanser": the masterfully nuts B-movie Drag Me to Hell. As you watch the plodding action in Oz unfold, you'll find yourself wishing it had a bit more of the anything-goes…
This old lady is not afraid of the Evil Dead remake
The first TV spot for Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead remake has arrived, and rather than get immediately in trouble with the FCC by trying to show the film's incredible gore, they've gone the other route and are showcasing audience reactions, which mostly consist of gasps, double takes and general looks of fear. I say…
Sam Raimi is planning to make Evil Dead 4
Just because Fede Alvarez is directing a remake of Evil Dead doesn't mean that Sam Raimi is done with the franchise. At a press event for Oz the Great and Powerful, Raimi announced that he plans to return to his horror series with Evil Dead 4.
The final Oz the Great and Powerful trailer is pretty great,…
I never would have imagined The Wizard of Oz would warrant any kind of a prequel, but darned if all the previews and clips for Sam Raimi's upcoming Oz the Great and Powerful haven't looked pretty darned good. This final trailer still doesn't give us a good view of the Wicked Witch of the West, although it does have…
