I'M GONNA MAKE SOMEBODY CALL ME A BAD NAME
Why would I make one of my fellow Word Whores call me a sumbitch?
Cause I post on Mondays which means I get second pick of what we are talking about and I am about to steal someone's choice for B-movie. See, watch this.
THE EVIL DEAD.
Somebody just cussed me.
If you don't know why Evil dead is the greatest B-movie ever made I am not sure I can explain it to you.
First of all you have Bruce Campbell. He's the freaking man. And this movie is him when he is all young and raw and full of hunger. He really puts it out there in this movie.
You should go buy THE EVIL DEAD COMPANION and read about all these people went through to make this damn movie. It's CRAZY.
Then you have a new swing at the monster/zombie/possession gig that turns up in movies. The Deadites are off the hook. Especially for 1970 something and on a $5 budget.
It is a crazy, nutso, no holds barred, grab your sack kinda film.
If you haven't seen this, EVIL DEAD 2, or ARMY OF DARKNESS then get the hence to the video store and just buy the damn things.
I frequently come across as an asshole, However I very rarely intend to.

Evil Dead rules!
ReplyDeleteHave you read Bruce's autobiography: If Chins Could Kill? It's a great read
Ha ha - I was going to mention these movies on Thursday too - fun thing was Bruce and a chunk of the cast of Evil Dead were all at Philly Comic Con this weekend! (Might even have some pictures kicking around here somewhere....)
ReplyDeleteUgh! Yes! SO GOOD! I totally agree. Probably my fav horror movie ever. And it's a B! Shows you don't need big budgets and flashy effects to make awesome-ness.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a Bruce Campbell fan girl, and, yes, it all started with Ash.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I've seen Army of Darkness - totally wicked awesome, btw - but I've never seen Evil Dead or Evil Dead 2. I have to rectify that egregious error one of these days.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Bruce Campbell will be at Fandom Fest in Louisville KY the last weekend in June. I plan to meet him there since I'll be guesting there.
ReplyDeleteEvil Dead for the WIN!
