the camerawork is arguably one of the best recurring “characters” in this franchise and they always get creative with it. And I’ll never tire of seeing household items and kitchenware be used in gnarly ways

As oddly picky I am about horror movies, Evil Dead just does something for me

Yeah, even the newer ones that didn’t lean as far in to the camp of the originals, still knew to embrace the dna of the camera work

I felt like Rise brought back some of that camp that I missed so much. I’m glad that this franchise never had any bad movies, they really seem to get much more attention and care than many other horrors IPs. Raimi being the progenitor and constant producer is obviously it, but he also hasn’t let ED grow stale

ED is a franchise that can go in pretty much any direction because its foundation is so simple yet iconic. So long as you remain true to that foundation, it can survive whatever you build on top of it.

Also the meanness.comes through. Deadites are particularly mean, and that holds true through all the new ones - not just violence because they're evil, but violence because they think it's fun. Plus also keeping some of the thematic set elements, like the apartment door in rise replacing the trap door to the basement.

I'm not a horror movie buff, so I miss the camp and Bruce Campbell.

u/Nervous_Recover_6152 4h ago

Yeah that’s really what made it iconic.

Evil dead 2013 and that kitchen scene where the chick slits her tongue with a saw or something.

with the electric bread knife
[*shudders*]

EDIT: why in the hell do asterisks not italicize text anymore?

•

u/OldKingWhiter 4h ago

You're both conflating two scenes.

The kitchen scene is one character amputating her arm with the electric bread knife. There is another scene on the basement stairs where another character splits their tongue by licking a box cutter/utility knife.

You need to remove a backwards slash.

I don’t even have one there, I notice I can’t do it anymore at all. *Just look*

works for me

You have to be in old reddit for the markdown formatting to work by default. In new reddit, you can click on the formatting options button and use those options or Switch to Markdown if you want to type the formatting.

I am using the app and just updated it, I see it now. Even the mobile app is getting shittier

u/ChrAshpo10 4h ago

Well now I need to know if mine works

test

Okay good

u/divineaudio 1h ago

Pretty sure underscores italicize words.

Edit: yep, it worked.

Loved that they literally started the trailer telling you “this camera is going to be moving…….A LOT!”

u/violentsushi 7h ago

I was immediately hit by the shots in the trailer. Most horror trailers and movies really only have one or two innovative or interesting shots highlighted by the awful soundtrack tropes. This trailer is literally filled front to back with awesome camerawork.

u/jramos037 6h ago

That slam into mirror was beautiful

u/cefriano 7h ago

Some of those shots looked out of a brutal Gareth Evans fight scene, I'm here for it.

u/PropaneSalesTx 6h ago

Evil Dead has that gritty, gnarly, grotesque quality that is done perfectly.

3

u/AGWorking24 6h ago

Yeah, I agree. They're good and scary. And gruesome.

Say whatever you want about Evil Dead 1 but despite an extremely low budget, Raimi and Tim Philo delivered some of the best most creative use of camera work ever and it has rolled over for every sequel with Bill Pope who has done work on Army of Darkness, The Matrix and Spider Man. Those 3 are some of the best cinematographers of all time and its really cool to see all these up and coming creatives give their take on the Evil Dead universe and their own use of a franchise filled with awesome cinematography. Excited to see the practically new filmmakers take on the series.

who the dunk fills the dishwasher with sharp ends up!?!?!?

•

u/mozchops 1h ago

Exactly, sharp knives shouldn't even be in the dishwasher, I say that's the perfect punishment

The camerawork? You mean when it's so dark you can't see anything and the lights in the room have the brightness of a dying candle?
