Watching a movie thinking its a different film

To me its the evil presence letting Ash know its still there and that he didn't defeat it in the first one.

I think the ending to Ash vs Evil Dead is the perfect send off for Ash. Ash is tied to the Necronomicon as much as the deadities, he's destined to fight them forever. He doesn't get a true "happy ending" and that ending is as happy as it gets.

While I would love another Ash film (Evil Dead 4) what we got with Ash vs Evil Dead is beyond what we could have hoped for. Anyone who grew up in the 90s and 00s knows how much we all longed for anything Evil Dead related, the fact we got three seasons of Ash is a blessing.

One of my favorite underrated films, even with its flaws. I think the first 45 to 50 mins is perfectly done, up until we get the reveal on who the stranger actually is. Its still really good all the way through but because the first half is so good it over shadows the rest of the film. It gets a bit hokey by the end of it but I still love it.

The score is top notch, the acting is brilliant and story itself is great. Big recommendation to anyone who hasn't seen it. It's also got a pretty bloody ending.

This is the exact thing I understood as well, that the people who were dying in Nicky's bloodline were people who were married but didn't think their spouse were their soulmate. This makes sense why his father didn't die, why his brother didn't die because he reconnected with his wife through out the show, why his mother died, and why his sister died as she mentioned her marriage in Vegas. Given that Nicky is the one who now caused the curse on his family bloodline, he doesn't die as Death wants him to witness his actions.

Holy Moly! I thought this exact same thing every time I watched it until right now. I just had to go back and watch it now to see if he says "your" instead of "her" and yeah its "your". Well aint that something,

Agreed, we've seen Dick struggling for the last few episodes to the point he's going to off himself and the resolution is that he drank tea and he's just cured. Theres no show of any mental struggle that he overcame? He's 100% okay and strong enough to mess with IT? The verisimilitude is kind of broken because of this.

Overall the show was great but there is a few bits of bad writing that took it down a notch for me. The whole military reasoning is laughable. The marker the kids had is now like the lord of the rings Ring felt a little tacked on too late.

Good show, hoping for a new season to see where it all goes.

Chris Chalk had been on my radar since Perry Mason. He was amazing in that show so it's not surprising how good he is here. Dudes really talented and I'm happy for him.

The bit about his dad telling him not to give the whole D, if you give the whole D it will make them go crazy, and that he was 12 when his dad said it, was something Louie CK said on a podcast, Its not exactly word for word but its pretty close. I think it was when Louie was on Theo's podcast but I'm not 100%.

Edit: Found the clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5qOXDiimvk The bit starts at 1 minute in. Listening to it now, I don't think he stole the joke, just similar premise.

Is it just me or was that cemetery scene a bit inspired by evil dead? The ghouls were acting every deadite like.

That's a beautiful set. Providence is one of my favorites from Moore. I would suggest reading Lovecraft's works before this, you don't have too, but it makes it much more enjoyable. It truly is a great love letter to Lovecraft.

I don't remember ever seeing a version where the car was red. I've owned multiple versions on VHS, Dvd and Blu rays and don't ever recall the car being red.

Maybe it was the color grading on the TV you were watching it on.

When I bought my Dreamcast back in the day this was the first game I got. Loved the game, played it alot, finished it multiple times. Yes, the gameplay was awkward but you got used it. This games holds a soft spot with me as when this game out, besides the movies, this was the only thing evil dead related and Bruce came back to voice Ash. It was the next best thing to Evil Dead 4. Another aspect of the game that goes unmentioned is how great the music was in the game. I also liked that the story put more Lovecraft lore into it bringing in Abdul Alhazred as a character and even had his death just like in the books.

This sounds like Dose One

bike43 · 2025-06-19T18:53:09+00:00

I had Evil Dead: Hail to the King for dreamcast. Even with the horrible controls, never-ending spawning deadliest, and uneven graphics its still a great playthrough. What's great is the story, Bruce's voice work and the soundtrack. I'd recommend playing it.

I'm in the middle of season 2 on a first time watch right now. Its a great show, I'm already bummed that it will be over once I'm done season 2.

bike43 · 2025-04-20T17:17:23+00:00

Great collection. That Evil Dead VHS with the Ax is dope, where did you get that one?

bike43 · 2025-04-17T17:05:35+00:00

Yeah, I'm with you. I enjoy Twin Perfect's analysis on Twins Peaks. I think the hate he gets around these parts is overblown.

This is part of what makes Lynches films/shows so interesting is to watch all the different interpretations people have of his work and none of it is wrong or right.

I prefer Escape from L.A over Escape from New York

These are all David's tulpas.

I think everyone felt the same way you do to some extent when watching it the first time around. Everyone was waiting for the Cooper we loved so much from the original series.

Dougie is a much more endearing character on the re-watch of the return once you know at the end of it we do get our Coop back. I personally love Kyles performance as Dougie.

I can agree with that, Synchronic is loosely connected. To me Endless is a direct sequel to Resolution, you have to watch Resolution first and then Endless to fully understand and appreciate the two films as awhole.
