Evil Dead (2013)
Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time - A podcast by We Write Good - Fridays
Are you ready for “the most terrifying film of all time?” That’s the bold claim made by the movie’s marketing - about an even bolder take on the Cabin In The Woods genre! And that’s before it tweaks the deadite formula resulting in a surprisingly emotional result. So let’s crack open that Necronomicon to dive into 2013’s EVIL DEAD - the “rebootiquel” that manages to do the impossible: successfully be its own thing. In this episode, we’re getting under the skin of the film’s characters, the personal dynamics that create real drama amongst the scares, and consider the socio-political overtones that the franchise had skimmed over in the past. All this, plus we talk about one of the worst basements we’ve ever encountered, debate whether Count Orlock is a Dirty Peanut, hear us get in our feelings over this entry, and then pick the best/worst option in a game of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Check it out, won’t you?
