"Equinox A friend of mine showed me this one as a cult classic that was the creation of many of the special effects team that went on to work on Star Wars. Portions of the plot also bear several uncanny resemblences to The Evil Dead. But this film isn't anywhere near as entertaining as either of those two. The affects might be more amusing than what you might normally see on MST3K, but otherwise the plot and acting would qualify this for a good candidate for that show. They shot it over several years so the actors ages and hair styles keep changing. And then I was told that a producer was hired to fix the story but ended up just making it more convoluted. It's on the Criterion Collection though as a double disc set, so there are plenty of extras if you want to spend more time analyzing this movie than it's probably worth. Rating: 2/10 "

"Director: Shawn KuUS, 22 minutes, colorCinema 4 Rating: 5Despite a title sure to be at least partially tempting to any horror nut, Pretty Dead Girl: A Musical Necromance turns out to be rather tame. And if you could get the subject of necrophilia past the initial tsk-tsking of your grandma, there is a good chance that she would end up at film’s end thinking the movie was rather sad and sweet, and would hardly take offense at all to what is being suggested by its potentially creepy premise.I first saw Pretty Dead Girl on some cable network sometime about a year ago. I am not sure if it was Sundance or IFC, but honestly, I mix those channels up so much that I am never able to check out any of their shows regularly. Of course, most of the shows I have seen on there are of the variety about which I don’t give a rat’s ass, except for the ones done by Henry Rollins and Jon Favreau, but honestly, even thinking really hard, I can’t remember which one of the channels ...

"I fricken loved this movie. This week I got my full share of shamelessly heartfelt, hysterical belly laughs, since I saw Step Brothers earlier in the week and then this. But to be honest, I haven't had this much fun watching a movie since Zombie Strippers. The movie starts in the middle of the action with little to no explanation as to what's going on--I suppose the first two Evil Dead films sort of serve as the exposition, or maybe this movie really needs no introduction. The basic gist is that Bruce Cambell gets sent back in time by malevolent forces and is deemed as a hero of prophecy after defeating several undead foes with a chainsaw and then a miraculously appearing shotgun. Never have the people of the middle ages seen such heroics--or such raw, quotable attitude--in one man, heightened by his "boom-stick" and perpetually bloody chainsaw. He is soon commisioned to retrieve the Necronomicon, the book of the dead, so that he may save the kingdom from the evil forces. But ... "

"Well, I just got back from the sparsely-attended screening of the low-budget indie zombie flick "Dead in the Water," and I have to say: I had a good time, but I'm not sure why. I know cheesy B-movie horror is kind of an art, as displayed by classics like the "Evil Dead" trilogy, but "Dead in the Water" treads a fine line between crappy horror at its schlocky, cliched best and convoluted storytelling at its absolute worst. At times it teeters dangerously into "Mystery Science Theater 3,000" territory.As with "Evil Dead," "Dead in the Water" is a story about a group of kids headed up to a picturesque cabin in the woods for a weekend of boyfriend-girlfriend canoodling and general good times. The girls, Jennica (seriously, what kind of name is that?) and Tiffany are sisters whose parents bought the cabin and are supposed to meet the kids there. Of course, not "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.Evil Dead IIProbably one of the greatest if you are a total slasher/horror/horror/comedy nut. I actually preferred the original The Evil Dead. It seemed more pure to me I guess. And I've heard all the debates about whether this was supposed to be a remake in a way, and why, and that original rights were lost. Whatever. It's a fun movie no doubt, but just not my favorite genre.For horror comedy my favorite is still Ravenous. Even though it's apparently not even listed as a comedy on IMDB.I feel like there's not much else to say here. Maybe there's not that much to talk about, and I've already discussed it enough elsewhere around Spout.Rating: 7/10 "

"I think this series of films (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness) is one of the best sets to watch during the Halloween season. Not only are they a bit creepy, but they have a fair amount of humor to them as well....like shooting a "night" scene on a cloudy day...sooo low budget, but so good at the same time. Say hello to my boom stick! "
