Vermines (2023)
Infested with yelling and bad decisions
Good setup. Made me think of the beginning of "Braindead" (Dead-Alive) from Peter Jackson. It also has some great, odd, close-up camera shots which were great.
What follows in Infested, however, is a avalanche of constant group yelling scenes of a bunch of people who make really bad decisions. Again!
Why do movie writers keep creating stupid characters just to give them a tool to hurdle over major plot holes? Stop doing that! Create characters which the viewer can relate to and create a better story.
I feel though, that this is a promising director, due to the special shots and atmosphere he created. I hope he will do a better job with the next "Evil Dead" movie.
Evil Dead Rise (2023)
This is NOT Evil Dead or The Thing
A new Evil Dead movie. YES!!! Finally!!! After the pretty good series "Ash vs Evil Dead" and as a fan of the more serious Evil Dead 1,2 and Evil Dead (2013), I was really, really, really looking forward to this one.
I must say that the marketing behind this was very good. The trailer, the raving reviews (Who are these people?), the idiotic high score on imdb (which is going down rapidly. GOOD!).
And sadly, I stepped right into this marketing turd and smeared it all over me.
So, I went to see the movie with my older brother. When we stepped out of the movie theatre we were both saying: "This isn't an Evil Dead movie". I don't know what it is, but not an Evil Dead movie.
It wants to be. And I must say, the actress playing the mother did an excellent job. The movie also had it's "cool" moments but they were limited.
It also contains elements from Evil Dead and obviously the title. But it's not worthy of that title at all.
I give it a disappointing 5/10. I would give it a 6, But because of using the name Evil Dead, they loose a point.
Some things that annoyed me, what I can remember of seeing the movie ones: (***Spoilers***)
1) I always liked the camera movement when Evil approaches. It is used in the beginning of the movie. But suddenly the camera movement shows a drone. WHAT?!? Are the creators making fun of the camera movement now. Saying ha ha, look, it was just a drone. That pissed me off already. It's ultimate Evil that is approaching. Don't make fun of it.
2) Normally the opening sequence makes a statement in what comes next. It is an Evil Dead movie after all. So I would expect some great kills or scares. A scalp? Really, that's it? OK, the shot of the woman floating above water is a cool shot. But it had a lot of noise. VERY LOUD. Is that what you're giving the audience to make an impression? Loudness?
3) The book of the dead in this movie is a joke. The way it is found is just undescribable bad. An old library in the the base of an apartment building? Like the people who build the apartment just skipped that part?
The book itself is an illustration book. With good illustrations nonetheless. But it is not a scary book written in blood with text and scriblings like the original. It's just an illustration book which looked too new and could be purchased at the local gift shop.
And what's up with the teeth?
4) The characters were given backstories. But they are so uninteresting. I couldn't care less if they were killed or not. The movie takes even 30 boring minutes to fill it with this nonsense.
5) Why isn't the sister turned into a deadite? WHY?:? WHY?!? That's one of the main rules of Evil Dead. If you're bitten or hurt by an object you turn into a deadite. One of the kids is touched only slightly by a needle in her face. She turns into a deadite.
The sister got scraped, stabbed. But NOOoo. She keeps on going, without turning.
Man, the more I'm writing this, the more I hate the movie :)
6) The whole story is situated on one floor. It's an apartment building. Didn't anyone else here anything? It must be the most sound proof apartment I know off.
It just doesn't make any sense. I know Evil Dead doesn't make sense but this is out of this world.
7) The final monster. What was that? Was it a small reference to "The Thing"? It is "The Thing" Who would green light such an idea? Yeah, let's do a monster like "The Thing" that would be cool. It's "Evil Dead". Not "The Thing"
8) For crying out loud, please STOP making kids doing extremely stupid stuff to continue the storyline or giving people another jump scare or whatever.
A word to the creators:
Don't lower yourself by lying to people with marketing (especially to the fans). Just try to make better movies or just stop making them at all.
Ash vs Evil Dead (2015)
This series ruins Evil Dead
If you know and like Evil Dead, you know it's something special. With movies like e.g. The Thing, Alien and An American Wherewolf in London you've got one of those rare gems in the genre. And you do NOT touch it unless you've got something good. There is a reason why it took more then 20 years before a new Evil Dead movie was introduced, which I liked a lot. Ash vs Evil Dead I did not. OK, I'm a big fan of Evil Dead and I can't wait to see more of it. I have a certain desire to see it, because Evil Dead is, well, Evil Dead, right. But I'd rather wait another 20 years than have to put up with this load of #!?t The first episode was not bad. But that's usually the case with most series. From that point on it goes down a cliff and never stops falling. Worst acting I've seen in a long time, bad jokes, continuity errors (one time Pablo was talking to a girl. They walked passed a cabin. The next shot the cabin is gone. It's that bad), character's which I did not believe in, at all. Come on ***spoiler*** Xena Warrior Princess wrote the Evil Dead book? REALLY? ***spoiler end*** What were they thinking? And Ash goes from a normal, somewhat cool guy to a plain stupid, one-liner spouting jerk. I did watch the complete season though. Yeah, I know. But hey, it's ... Evil Dead. And I would give it a 4 out of 10. But actually I'm really furious and this series ruins Evil Dead for me. So I'm giving it the lowest score. It's not about "Oh people want more? Let's give'm some more brainless gore". NO, it's Evil Dead, damn you. The creators should be ashamed of themselves. If you're a real fan of Evil Dead, keep as far away from this series as possible.
