Introduction to Fright Central
00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome. For real. Hello and good evening. Welcome to Fright Central, where we talk all things horror.
Recap of Yellowjackets Episode
00:00:24
Speaker
I'm Keck here with Doc as always. And kind of wanted to, what was that Doc? You got something. How's it going? Vincent Price. Vincent Price. Dude, there's a, oh man, I got a story for you after this cast. I found a Vincent Price thing that traumatized me of a child where he was doing the Time Life books thing. I'll send you the thing. But yeah, we're gonna wanna talk a lot more about Vincent Price. Anyway.
Key Plot Points and Speculations on Yellowjackets
00:00:53
Speaker
lost my train of thought you little fuck on the jackets that we wanted to apologize we um we had done our last cast on yellow jackets and it was actually we thought it was going to be a relatively small cast but it was actually one of our longer cast there is a lot more content than we initially had thought there was to talk about um at least on my end i don't think i gave the show the respect that it really deserved
00:01:19
Speaker
There, I mean, there was a lot of subplots. There was a lot of complexities, um, a lot of like, uh, you know, I don't know, there's just a lot of content and a lot of like, uh, time shifting and it was done very well. And I think in like, uh, the discussion somehow.
00:01:40
Speaker
We left out some rather major plot points, like some other major events that happened. Most namely the coach. Yeah. I was going to say, why don't we just kind of leave it at that and let people just go and watch the series. Yeah. But we had kind of like analyze like the thing. I just want to point out one thing we left out at the end because we went into a thing where we kind of asked each other
00:02:09
Speaker
Where do you think season three is going to go? Where do you think season three is going to go? But we can't really say where we think season three is going to go without without talking a little bit about what we left out. And that was the final scene where the coach who had gone from suicidal, asking Misty to kill him, which I don't believe we even discussed to the coach that absolute final scene as season two fades out.
00:02:39
Speaker
the coach pouring gasoline all over the cabin and trying to burn all of the girls and Travis who was Travis and Well, yeah, his little brother had been sacrificed by then anyway, but um and Travis But all the people under his care He tried to burn them alive
00:03:03
Speaker
Uh, because he has some kind of mental breakdown. I'm sure he justified it in some sick way in his head.
00:03:10
Speaker
But, um, yeah, he goes crazy and basically goes from suicidal to homicidal to go and live in like some like secret little fucking, I don't, uh, Hey, yeah, we describe them. Yeah. Like where hobby was living. Um, which is another thing. I don't know if we actually mentioned, we left out some significant things. So yeah, like you said, we're going to have to go back and like watch it.
00:03:41
Speaker
But at the end, the coach tries to burn all the girls to death. It shows them all standing outside the cabin as the cabin is going up in flames. So to say where season three is going to go, if there is a season three, considering what's going on in Hollywood right now.
00:03:59
Speaker
I would say there's going to have to be something very drastic that comes into play right away, because that was their shelter. So unless they track the coach down, my most thing would be they foot track the coach down, find out where Javi was staying, they cook the kill and cook that
00:04:20
Speaker
Coach up, stew that motherfucker to get them.
First Impressions of Evil Dead Rise
00:04:24
Speaker
First one to go. First one to go. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, he wanted to die anyway. Like, you know, he's got to go. But anyway, so sorry about that. We left out some really big things and it was really my fault because I just had not really treated the series with the respect it deserved. I could get into why, but I'm not going to. Anyway,
00:04:46
Speaker
I forgot about a lot about that as well. Yeah we we had just kind of told like I mean we were before we had the cast we're debating are we gonna do season one and season two and then season two are we gonna talk about the timelines like with it where there were
00:05:03
Speaker
kids and then the timelines when they were also we had like a Few different ideas on how we were going to approach talking about the show and it kind of all just fell into balance I thought pretty well just having season one and two like right into each other as one like you know full full production rather than discussing them individually and at the end I remember being like what have that actually kind of worked out and then I was just like
00:05:31
Speaker
wait a minute, we didn't mention that the coach tried to burn everybody. And then you had pointed something else out and you're like, oh yeah, we didn't mention this. And I'm like, we totally whiffed that fucking podcast. God damn it. So the only thing I could think to do rather than totally redo that podcast, which is, I really don't want to have any more discussion about yellow jackets right now was to just figure, have a little introduction and say, sorry about that.
00:05:59
Speaker
Hopefully you've already seen it and called our mistakes if you haven't just you know go and watch the show and You know develop your own opinion But anyway, I really am looking forward to season three of that to see where they go if there's a season three, but that said Evil dead evil dead rise rise Yeah, are we getting into it at all?
Plot and Setting of Evil Dead Rise
00:06:24
Speaker
initial reaction
00:06:26
Speaker
Oh, I really liked it. I mean, I had liked the 2013 remake, even though it was like, you know, almost kind of redundant in a lot of ways where it kind of just did a lot of the same things. But like with different characters, I mean, I still enjoyed it. But I think I liked Evil Dead Rising better. I liked the new locations. I liked a lot of the homages to the original without it seeing necessarily forced too much.
00:06:55
Speaker
You know what I mean? And I thought the, I thought all the acting was, was really well done. Even the little girl, I thought was, was great. Like they had, like, there weren't any like annoying characters really. And especially the performances once the, once everyone got possessed, I really enjoyed that as like their performance as the, the, the demon demons as well. So how about you? I had the low expectations for this. I loved it. I thought it was fucking amazing.
00:07:25
Speaker
Um, I was really impressed. I mean, I think me and you had back, uh, you said the last one was in 2013 where they made the full length movie. Uh, that was like an evil dead reboot. I think me and you actually had gotten into like an argument. Uh, cause I had said something like people that like that movie should tell themselves. And you were like, dude, what the fuck? Like Brandon, I was being sarcastic. I didn't actually mean if you thought that evil, like you should
00:07:55
Speaker
you know commit ritualistic suicide I mean if you did I would understand I'm just saying but um you know I really dislike that one I thought it was just really cheesy and cliche I mean I was happy they were keeping the franchise alive but that was about it and
00:08:16
Speaker
all my worries got taken out when Ashford's Evil Dead, the series started with stars.
Character Dynamics and Familial Struggles
00:08:25
Speaker
I had confused Showtime didn't do it. That was actually one of the few things, good things that stars still does from time to time. So that really, the only thing I was upset about that was I thought I ended too early. I really thought they could have gotten another decent season or two out of it, but hey,
00:08:45
Speaker
as things are that happened. But yeah, I think that was on a I think it was on a bigger network. I think it might have gotten another. Yeah, I think so. Maybe they are. Time or HBO. Yeah. Bruce Campbell is talking about at least doing an animated series that continue up where that left. So that's at least a good point about that. But yeah, this one was written and directed by Lee Cronin, who did the this little film called A Hole in the Ground, which was really good.
00:09:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I believe it was on at least I saw it on Amazon. I don't know if it's still on there So can tell you what actually think I'm still just back to like my initial reaction Yeah, I thought it was incredible. I mean low expectations When I first started off I thought I always have this thing
00:09:35
Speaker
Um, uh, the, one of the lead actresses, I guess, I don't know if you would say the lead. I mean, it was mainly a bunch of like co-leads, but Alyssa Southerly, who I recognized from, he played Ellie the mom. Um, I knew her from the show, uh, Vikings. Um, which doesn't really have anything to do with evil dead, but it's the first time I saw her and I think she's gorgeous beyond words.
00:09:59
Speaker
And so when I saw her, I was like, oh, mother fuck.
Unleashing Evil: The Necronomicon Incident
00:10:02
Speaker
I'm like, I'm going to spend the whole time thinking about like how much I'm in love with with Sutherland and like, I'm not going to be able to focus on the show. Well, yeah, I mean, things got real grisly for her real fast. See, I thought she was going to be like the savior of the show.
00:10:20
Speaker
she was not the savior she was the first one that you know catches the virus if you will so uh that actually helped me i mean hell even when she was completely possessed i still would have like been like hey how's it going but like i mean it was just done i mean i just like her a lot but like it was just done really well now you
00:10:44
Speaker
Before getting into the meat of it, you had said that there were no stupid characters. I would just beg to differ to one. I didn't say stupid. I said annoying. Annoying. Annoying. That kid was kind of annoying, but my God, just and this leads us off to like, you know, where things start from, you know, after the intro scene, which
00:11:09
Speaker
you had some feelings about? I mean, I thought it was brilliant. Did you want it? It started at the the opening. It starts at the starts at a cabin with like three friends and one girl's where I thought it was all going to take place at the cabin in the woods where iconically, you know, that's where evil dead shit goes down. Yeah, it starts there. Then like one of her friends is like already possessed.
00:11:34
Speaker
Or she's sick and like but she's really already possessed and she like, you know scalps the long girl and beheads the other one and then, and then rises up out of the lake and that's when the credits roll then it cuts to their wallet cuts to the, the girl plays the ant.
00:11:54
Speaker
who I guess she was at a concert or whatever, but really most of it takes place at a LA high rise, which is about to be torn down in the next couple days or whatever. It's really dilapidated. It's pouring rain out, and it basically revolves around this family that lives there, and then her estranged sister who comes home, and it's like her...
00:12:20
Speaker
uh husband is left and she's got to raise like these three kids yeah the husband has just left uh he was apparently kind of a douchebag so she's a single mom left to raise what two kids three kids three three yeah oh yeah three kids two daughters and uh one idiotic son and um
00:12:40
Speaker
It seemed that when her sister came home, who she describes as a groupie, who had been touring with some band and her impression was hooking up with random guys, not really making much of herself.
00:12:59
Speaker
She seemed like she was somewhat resentful that she didn't even seem to know that her sister and her husband had split up and that she was now raising three rather small children by herself. And she was obviously going through like a lot of shit and she just kind of shows up out of nowhere expecting that like everything's going to be forgiven after not hearing from her for
00:13:29
Speaker
quite some period of time.
00:13:32
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I think it would have two months had gone by since the. Yeah, because she said something. She doesn't she like actually bring a present home for her husband and she's like, yeah, we've been split up for months or something. Like something like that goes voicemails, because later on she checks the voicemail. Yeah. And she's kind of like, you know, it's almost sort of like she was like, you know, don't let the door hit you on the way
Impact of the Necronomicon and Recklessness
00:13:59
Speaker
up. She's like,
00:14:00
Speaker
No, you can sleep on the couch tonight, but like, uh, I got a pack, like we're moving tomorrow. Like, you know, like peace, like she was very, very upset by that. But anyway, that's just like some very small, uh, characters development details. Uh, things start to pop off and go out a pretty fast clip after that, right? They go out for pizza.
00:14:23
Speaker
Yeah, they go up for pizza while the two sisters talk and have the conversation about what's going on in their life. And then when they come back with the pizza while they're parking the car before they head up and earthquake hits and it cracks open the basement.
00:14:38
Speaker
of where the garage is. And yeah, the parking garage, right. And it's a, and it opens up a hole that leads into like an old bank vault where the one kid jumps down in there. And this is where things get ridiculous for me. This is this kid, like, look, I get that they were, they need it some way.
00:14:58
Speaker
for the Necronom to come to like, you know, come into play. But this kid, he just makes like decisions that no even semi rational person would make. I mean, it was just, you had to be thinking the same thing. I was like, why the fuck?
00:15:18
Speaker
like during an earthquake why would you fucking climb under there when it would be different too if he was all on his own and he had nobody waiting for him he wasn't you know going to bring food back and anything after natural it was just him being a dumbass he had two people screaming at him the entire time please stop doing what you're doing what you're doing is fucking ridiculous and he just stays down there and like
00:15:47
Speaker
I get it because when he, he's like, oh shit, that's a bank vault. Like if I could, maybe there's something down there I can find that can help the family out. Cause anything would help us out right now. We don't even have a place to move to yet. And this place is being torn down. So like I get it, but yeah, right after it was quick, maybe not the best time to go down there. Cause there's a, I mean, like we're talking about not even
00:16:13
Speaker
I mean, it was an aftershock territory. Like it had only been about 60 seconds after the earthquake or something like that. So, I mean, it would have been one thing too, if they had gone back and he was like, look, I saw an underground bank vault. Like you guys can try to stop me or somebody can hold a flashlight, but I'm going to take a quick peek at this real quick or something like that. You know what I mean? Like, you know, or even if he just snuck off on his own,
00:16:41
Speaker
And he was like, you know, I want to do this to help my family. See if I could find some fucking buried treasure down there or something like that. I could kind of understand that, but they were like railing them.
Possession and Tension in Evil Dead Rise
00:16:52
Speaker
But the Necronomicon that he found down there that he brings back, dude, it was really cool. Like this was my favorite version of it, how it was like, um,
00:17:09
Speaker
Yeah, it was shot by like jaws, there were fangs on it, you know what I mean? And the artwork inside of this was on like any of the other a lot of times in the movie, you know, there, there was like a lot of like, um,
00:17:25
Speaker
you know, Latin looking words in there, like ancient Hebrew, things like that. This one was mostly full of artwork that depicted like what had happened. And I thought that all the artwork looked really cool. Apparently, that was like a lot of Tom Savaney had done a lot of that artwork. Oh, and then one more. Sam Rainey, Sam Rainey, my thing.
00:18:01
Speaker
Yeah, and the new one or the old one? This one? In this one. I don't think it's Tom Savaney. I'm messing up the names here, but there was, when I was looking into it, there was someone that had said that they had done a lot of the original artwork for this, for the Necronomicon, and I said Tom Savaney. It was not Tom Savaney.
00:18:16
Speaker
I think I might be getting my
00:18:29
Speaker
I'm not even I'm not even sure if they did it or if they like you know hired somebody to do the drawings but I thought that the art looked amazing yeah like it's stuff that like I would want to like
00:18:43
Speaker
hang up as posters around my house. Like, dude, it was like, it was, I mean, a lot of it was like really brutal shit. But I mean, it was like, you know, this stuff, if you've ever read Dante's Inferno, I mean, it is like literally like, you know, what you would think of like the latter stages in the circles of hell. I mean, it was really well done.
00:19:07
Speaker
Yeah and he also... I was a big fan of that. Yeah and he also brings up some records that he finds down there because he's like an aspiring DJ as well so he has that equipment up there and he's and like an idiot he plays the fucking records after he's already pricked his finger on the... Necronomicon which opened it up.
Connections to Previous Evil Dead Films
00:19:29
Speaker
Yeah and again his sister had looked at the book with him and had said
00:19:34
Speaker
Again, please at least not now Please do not fuck with any of the shit that you have got as soon as she leaves He immediately starts doing everything and fucking what everything and he's even like real nervous He's like sweating as he's cuz like his turntable He has to like kind of turn the record with it and like, you know to read and the guys
00:19:59
Speaker
There's even a thing at a church where he's describing, they're like, destroyed Necronomicon, like the book of the dead, like, you know, what are you thinking? Like, you know, I mean, like, and he's nervous. And he's like, now I'm going to recite the passages that will bring forth the day. And like the kids like, Oh my God, this is so terrifying.
00:20:18
Speaker
let me just go ahead and do it yeah it's just so ridiculous i want to point out like later on when they uh she's like oh maybe like this is that like when um the sister finds out that the uh that's how they brought it together you're like oh maybe there's something we can find so she was like oh i'll start at the end and play this tape and like on the tape he's like
00:20:39
Speaker
All right, well I made a big mistake. Everything's gone wrong. Don't fucking listen. I was like, maybe you should have put that one in the beginning when you've organized these records. Yeah, that really wouldn't have been, but I guess like, yeah, like when he organized the records, that would have been the thing to do.
00:20:59
Speaker
Yeah. Or maybe even better for him to have just destroyed all the other records and just had that record saying, I did recite all this shit.
Exploring Chaos and Desperation in Evil Dead Rise
00:21:12
Speaker
Yeah. I did do this when I recited it. This is what happens. Yeah, maybe just use that. The records of me reciting it because I don't want to risk it ever being recited. All I can say is
00:21:28
Speaker
This is what happened when I did this shit. Don't ever do it. And if it does get done.
00:21:35
Speaker
You really have no hope except to run. He was like, you know, I hacked everybody up. I burned them. He's like everything. It will just keep coming back. Like this never stops. Like, you know what I mean? Which kind of makes you wonder how it did stop. Um, well, you just dismembered and Barry and like, you know, spread out the pieces. That's pretty much what they get. Volcano, volcanoes, like the Scientology thing where, you know, they threw the
00:22:04
Speaker
aliens and the volcanoes or whatever, like, yeah, volcanoes need to be involved. Yeah. But I just want to point out there was a part in the beginning when he on the record, he says that there was this is one of three books. So in a way that could tie in all the other evil dead movies. All take place in the same universe. They're just different books.
00:22:27
Speaker
Yes, that explains a lot of how all the books look differently. And I really like that aspect of how you can tie it into the other of the other movies now. So yeah, no, that that's a very, that's a very, that's a very good point. Yeah. Because I love this book. I like the I love the way it looked. And yeah.
00:22:45
Speaker
Yeah, some of the books could have been more dialogue and more like the ritual and others could have been like you know more like of like the graphical images that like you know
00:22:57
Speaker
you know, people that witnesses stuff could have like, you know, documented it, you know, document the images based from the projections that they saw and like stuff like that. So like, yeah, I mean, it could it really could tie everything, everything together.
Horror Elements and Avoidance of Cliches
00:23:15
Speaker
Yeah, that that's a that's a good observation. But at any rate, then just getting into the meat of it, everything was just
00:23:27
Speaker
Yeah. It was it was it was a little strange that I mean, yeah, I mean, she just basically catches it right to the face, which is coming down the laundry. Yeah. Going down to the laundry and the evil in, you know, if you've ever seen an evil dead movie, which I assume you have, it's you know, you it's the camera coming at you and making the demon sounds that are. Yeah.
00:23:57
Speaker
getting closer and closer and closer. And yeah, she just gets to the ground for the elevator and boom.
00:24:05
Speaker
right to the face, she gets smacked by the evil. I really want to know what the evil looks like. No, I hope they never show the evil in the possession. As like a flaming skull or something like that. Like, I don't know, like, I feel like no matter what they do, it'll be dumb. Keep it the way. Yeah, probably. Or, you know, just like this cloud of like pure evil coming in.
00:24:29
Speaker
But it was funny, like right after she just told her kids not to take the elevator, she takes the elevator down. Yeah. Yeah. And after the possession, I liked how once like the mother was possessed and then like they tried to like escape, like the elevator doesn't work and then they go. They're like, all right, well, let's take the stairs and the stairs are just gone.
00:24:48
Speaker
And then it's pouring rain outside also. So they like people that there were pretty high ups and like nobody down below can hear them. So I thought I did a really good job of like keeping them in that area without giving them any type of like escape. I thought that was really well done. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely was. And when she first got a seat house early because I was like, oh no, because like when she is getting possessed in the elevator,
00:25:15
Speaker
Um, you know, she's getting like wrapped up with the vines and I like, oh God, here comes the tree rape scene from the original evil. I was like, this is what's going to happen. Please don't do it. I was thinking the same thing. I was like, look, it worked in the original. I know it's like, you know, an iconic moment for the franchise and all horror movies talk about that scene.
00:25:44
Speaker
But I was like, I don't want that to be done to my book. Oh, please don't do it to her. And they didn't show it to her. But I mean, it was really brutal what happened to her. And like, you know, you heard her limbs breaking and snapping.
Gore and Demon Portrayal
00:26:00
Speaker
And I'm glad they did not do the tree rapes. Like I was I was very happy that that did not happen to her. And but then when she comes back, like
00:26:12
Speaker
her when she's like cooking the eggs and talking about how I hope we would always be together but like I really wish I could just like rip you all apart and like rip out your guts and like climb inside your bodies and like just start saying like really twisted shit to the point where like
00:26:32
Speaker
Oh man. I mean, I could just go on forever with the depth. It was really well written. It was really well written. And a lot of the damage is really well too with like the swallow your soul on like, yeah, shotgun and chainsaw parts. And it didn't feel cheesy. It felt natural and like, yeah, purposeful. Like, yeah.
00:26:59
Speaker
Yeah. The one thing I was a little confused of, there was a scene where, you know, Ellie attacks her sister after she's full on possessed. And like, just to say, with the time remaining, we don't have time to give this movie anywhere near the amount of respect that it deserves. So you really have to just go see it yourself. But one thing that I was curious to is,
00:27:27
Speaker
when she attacks her with a shard of glass, the glass goes through her hand. And usually like one to see with the dead eye possessing people, there has never in any of the movies I thought been like some kind of clear way it spreads. Sometimes people just turn after no physical contact whatsoever. Just being in proximity, people will just turn.
00:27:55
Speaker
And she stabbed her. So I was thinking like, oh, wow, is she going to turn? Well, she didn't, but her daughter, who she attacked with her tattoo gun and just like, you know, hits her with the needle a little bit, her daughter turns.
00:28:11
Speaker
full on. So I was a little confused by that. I noticed I noticed that more on the second time I was like, yeah, I caught it though it was because she had taken the tattoo needle and tat like shoved it into her own head first. Oh, but I think it was like you had to get you had to get your possessed blood on the other person.
00:28:33
Speaker
Yeah, that could be. But even if that wasn't the case, like I said, it has never been like, there's never been like a in any of the movies, a 100% way that someone gets possessed. I've seen people many times get possessed with no contact whatsoever, like especially in Evil Dead 2.
00:28:56
Speaker
people just started turning. You know what I mean? And like, you know, it seems sort of like it was a force of will for some of them. Like they're like, you know, I can feel this coming at me and you had to like have the will to push it out. You know what I mean? So there wasn't this isn't like vampires or anything like that or zombies. Like you don't necessarily have to be big for that to happen. But, you know, I was a little I was wondering about that. But now that you put it that way, I have forgot. Yeah.
00:29:25
Speaker
she kind of stabs herself first and then um yeah but then there was a great scene out in the hall where they're looking through the keyhole and everybody's getting fucking ripped up out there oh i thought that was a great scene you know through the bird's eye like the camera like that was just great work you see people
00:29:46
Speaker
flying around gunshots going off and then she keeps coming running back to the uh evil let me in mommy wants to you know it was just so fucking great unlike i also like the uh the cheese grater oh yeah there there were so there were so many there were so many good kills in it and so many i i mean evil dead you know it's not just about the killing it's about the torment
00:30:14
Speaker
You know, these are demons that love chaos. They love to watch suffering. They love human confusion in suffering, too. Like they like you to be scared and confused. And as I talked about this a little earlier with you, I was worried, though, because I did not see the blood. Evil Dead was always like very big about like, you know,
00:30:39
Speaker
being the movie that used the most blood and like the history of cinema when it first came out. And like three quarters of the way through the movie, I was like, where the fuck is the blood?
Critique of the Ending and Sequel Potential
00:30:49
Speaker
The blood comes. I'm not going to get into all of it, but I mean, the blood comes.
00:30:54
Speaker
And they use plenty of fucking blood. I mean, it comes kind of all at once. But like, that was the one thing that I was worried. I was like, they're not going to give us the blood. You know, the thing that Evil Dead is so known for, they give us the blood. So I just want to make sure only I think the only problem I had was the from the intro beginning to how they set that up at the end.
00:31:20
Speaker
Same for me. Where it's like some random girl gets possessed but she's like at the fucking uh apartment but she's going on vacation and from there to go pick up her friend and then go to the cabin she would have already passed away before. Yeah we had talked about this a little bit uh before yeah that that just now see I like the transition I thought it was cool how they set that up yeah but like that's just not realistic I mean that girl would have
00:31:51
Speaker
gotten possessed right then and there and there's no way she would have these demons are not like demons that are like, let's wait for the right time. Let's wait for other people around the fire. Yeah, yeah, they yeah, they're not the type of ones that are they let's just say they're not in here for the long game.
00:32:13
Speaker
Like they're not like, you know, we'll lie dormant inside this person for days or weeks, months, years, until they're in a major event where we can take over the
Financial Success and Audience Appeal
00:32:25
Speaker
world. They're too chaotic and pumped up for that. They want to come out and start calls and shit immediately. I love how unstoppable they are too. They can't be like, you can't just do like an extra cyst on them. Like, nah, they laugh at that.
00:32:40
Speaker
Once they're in, you're fucking fucked. Before we go, I just wanted to mention that I'm sure there's going to be talks in the sequel because this made the most money out of all of them. It was on a budget of less than $20 million and it made $146 million at the box office. When you mention that to me, that's crazy.
00:33:02
Speaker
That's crazy. I mean, I thought that like the production value, it didn't seem cheap to me. I mean, I guess it's because, I mean, they had to save money because there were, I mean, Alyssa Sutherland, like, I know her from a few things, but like, I wouldn't consider her a big star. No, I mean, coming from TV, I didn't really recognize anybody else. I mean, she's known for more than for her modeling than for acting and all the other, um,
00:33:30
Speaker
Actors that were in it. I look some of them up on IMDB and some of them only had two credits and the one girl one of them was a Jersey podcast horror so it wasn't even an acting credit like so these were I think they saved a lot of money finding good
00:33:50
Speaker
young new talent and they were able to put everything else just into the film. And there wasn't a lot of locations either. So like, yeah, I mean, you're in what you're in maybe one structure and then the one place at the lake. So you're only in like a couple of locations. Yes. So and most of it all occurs in the one apartment. Yeah. So yeah, they were able to they were able to do this movie like very economically viable.
00:34:19
Speaker
where they were able to give you like the maximum bang for your buck, really. And it didn't suffer from quality of acting. I mean, like I said, the kid was stupid, but he wasn't a bad actor. They told him to act like a stupid asshole and he pulled it
Conclusion and Recommendations
00:34:34
Speaker
off. Yeah. And sometimes even when like the little kids, like the little girl, like sometimes they end up being... I thought she was really good. I thought she might have been the best actor in the entire thing. She was really good.
00:34:46
Speaker
Yeah, that girl's, I mean, if she sticks with it, um, you know, she, you might like look back years from now and be like, you know, that girl from evil dead, you know, she's like, uh, Julia Roberts or somebody like that. Like, I don't know. Like she, I mean, she's very, she's very young. She's only like, what, eight, nine years old. A lot of talent reminded me of the girl from, um, haunting of, uh, Hill House and, uh, blind manner. And she was in Megan too.
00:35:16
Speaker
that does a lot of horror, like very talented, very talented young actresses. So yeah, I mean, just saying like, for me, this was a five star event. Like I thought it was great. I cannot stress enough how much if you haven't seen this, like you really should go out and say it.
00:35:37
Speaker
Yeah, if you like whether you like the last one or not, if you're a fan of the franchise, I think you'll really enjoy this. Yeah. Yeah. Even a new setting and everything. So yeah, even if you haven't been a fan of Evil Deads in the past, like this might be one that gets you into it. And when I say go out and see it, I mean, just like watch it on HBO Max. Yeah. Yeah. I still say go out and say it like I don't know.
00:36:05
Speaker
I just cannot say enough good things about it. There's some other things I'd like to touch on, but it would just take too much time. Amazing, amazing, amazing film. I think we're both in complete agreement with that one. So anyway, that's about it. You have any
00:36:29
Speaker
Any other thoughts? No, that pretty much wraps it up. Thanks for, thanks for joining me and thanks for listening and thanks for joining us. Yeah. And we'll be talking to you in the very near future. Take care, buddy. Peace.
