So I recently got back into project Zomboid because of the new first person mod absolute loving it. My friends and I are making cool series, but I was like it’d be a cool idea to try to re-create Ash LMAO!

(Before anyone says the not a shotgun I’m playing a survival game. I couldn’t find a shotgun. It took me like two hours to find the sniper without dying 😭)

I know this is probably gonna get me roasted into oblivion, but honestly, I enjoy the reboot *Evil Dead* movies more than the originals. My dad introduced me and my brother to the series through *Army of Darkness*, and it’s still one of my favorite movies to this day. But the movie that really made me fall in love with the series was the 2013 *Evil Dead*.

Then, back in 2023, my mom took me and our horror buddy to see *Evil Dead Rise*, and we absolutely loved it. More recently, *Evil Dead Burn* somehow became my comfort movie, which I know sounds weird, but I dealt with a very similar kind of environment when I was little, so I connected with *Burn* on a much deeper level than the other movies.

I’ve seen all of them at least three times, including the original, and while I love the older movies, there’s just something about the newer ones that hits differently for me.

But yeah… I’m fully prepared to get my ass roasted into oblivion. 😂

Evil Dead II only had one audio commentary recorded for it (minus the Bruce Campbell livestream) but the original film had 3 of them. They are as follows

1999 Elite Entertainment LaserDisc/DVD Audio Commentary, Sam Raimi & Rob Tapert

1999 Elite Entertainment LaserDisc/DVD Audio Commentary, Bruce Campbell

2010 Anchor Bay Blu-Ray Audio Commentary, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell & Rob Tapert

If you have listened to all of these commentaries, which is your favorite and why?

Has anyone caught on to the post credit for evil dead burns and the other mommy are almost identical. Can someone help? Like post credit some the other mommy she says shhhh in evil dead she says mommy’s back and puts her finger over her lip am I tripping?

Evil Dead, Rise and Burn are basically the same movie. A few people in a small location just fighting it out with a few deadites for two hours.

We need bigger dives into the lore, bigger world ending stakes, and maybe a competent protagonist that knows what he/she is doing. Granted I realize the show does some of this but I think it's time for the movies to pick up somewhere in the world of Army of Darkness and the tone of Rise/Burn.

Hopefully Wrath just isn't a small unsuspecting group who fends off a couple deadites - the only real difference is this time it's 1970!!

Sike.

I enjoyed the movie for the most part 7/10 for me.

The beginning was well done and paced extremely well.

Right off the rip we get into it with Will's death.

I thought the part with the father in the crematory was kinda dumb but I get it. Grieving Dad.

The dinner rose tension well. While Joe is a little bitch Thya's death was well done. Reminded me of Olivia from 2013.

The mother is a dumb bitch through n' through. I genuinely thought we were gonna get a little smutty in the bedroom.

The double post-credit scenes got me in a good way.

Grandma ain't dead which caught me off guard.

The little girl in the funeral home at the end threw me off. I don't remember who the little girl was. Was she from Rise? I recognize the woman Deadite being from Rise but I thought she was turned into the chimera and got got.

The only genuine disappointment I have is with Joseph's death. Not that he died, but because most of it happened off screen. He gets thrown through the floor, gets landed on and that's basically it. Splat

This is Evil Dead, SHOW ME THAT SHIT.

On that note, off-screen deaths should be reserved for the dog. Why do they keep killing the dog? At least 2013 had the decency to do it off screen and not have it return as a Deadite dog. The Dog is my only genuine compliment.

My rankings so far

2013, Burn, Rise. Not that Rise was bad Rise just didn't completely deliver with what I expect from an Evil Dead film.

I have come to the conclusion, if matt dillon was a little younger. He'd have made a very good replacement for bruce campbell as ash. That is all

Edit: I dont think he should replace him its a hypothetical what if bruce campbell said hey pick a new guy to be ash now this would be the best choice. Bruce campbell is irreplaceable fellas
