I have a major soft spot for Emily Carroll and any bit of her work I can snatch up, I will! Read on!

Better “I know” than Star Wars? Probably. Yes. Definitely.
L.A. WEEKLY: Why wouldn’t you make the changes to Killer Joe requested by the ratings board?
WILLIAM FRIEDKIN: Fuck them where they breathe.
Both Justice League and Justice League Unlimited have been added to Netflix streaming. If you’re looking for an entry way into DC Comics characters, these shows did it way better than the New 52 has thus far. Series highlight: Jeffrey Combs as The Question (with a little bit of Rorschach mixed in).
Hey! If anyone is interested, I’ve got digital codes for Avengers Assemble #12 and #13 that I don’t need. #12 is a new arc, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Spiderwoman and it’s great.
Hey, I’d take them!
Fede Alvarez’s Evil Deadwas quite simply, Groovy. I, and nearly every other person that has a positive opinion on the film has expressed the sentiment in this manner. But while we on the internet are unable to express our ideas in an original fashion, Alvarez fortunately is.
A couple things I enjoyed:
- I think he might have used more fake blood than Raimi. A Google search of “Did Fede Alvarez use more fake blood than Sam Raimi” did not turn up any usable results. But, I’m going to say quite possibly YES.
- There’s elements in the film that suggest that this is more a continuation of the series, or at the very least exists in the same universe. This is awesome. You don’t need to have seen the other films in order for this to work, but it has some nice Easter Eggs for those who have seen the original films. In fact…
- The Easter Eggs aren’t cheap “Here’s that thing you recognize, NERDS, high-five each other immediately!” bits. They’re in the movie for world-building purposes, and almost no item that the camera goes unused. There are also almost no cheap dialogue reference moments. The film doesn’t wink at the audience. It jabs at the audience’s eyes with a jagged piece of glass.
- Jane Levy as Mia was amazing. Her junkie moments work, her demon moments work, her other moments are…groovy.
- The score was fantastic. It sounds like a horror movie score. The perfect horror movie score.
- The post-credits scene was fun, but felt…tacked on. However, the end credits audio added to the overall creepiness of the film.
Two more things about things:
- This film proved you could make a cabin in the woods film after Cabin in the Woods.
- It made nearly ever horror movie trailer prior to the film look like a peanut. A peanut!
I loved the shit out of this. I’ll give it 5 dead cats mutilated for the purposes of witchcraft out of 5 dead cats mutilated for the purposes of witchcraft.
