I have no idea why, but I only really watched the Evil Dead movies quite late in my movie-life. I’m not making that mistake again. The long-awaited next installment in Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell’s blood-soaked cult franchise hits US screens this coming Saturday when Ash vs Evil Dead debuts on Starz. But we can all get a head start …
It’s an unfortunate truth in life that whenever you have to wait ages for something, building up anticipation the entire time, it usually ends up sucking the big fat one. But I’ll be damned if Ash vs Evil Dead doesn’t look just plain… groovy! Hail to the king, baby! We’ve already had our first brilliantly gory and funny look at …
Kervyn’s list of Top 10 Video Game Movies got me thinking: while video-game-to-movie adaptations aren’t easy, there have been some that are part-way decent.

When humanity is under threat from a Deadite invasion, who’s the grooviest cat around? Why, it’s the guy with a chainsaw for a hand and a back-up plan that comes out of the barrel of a boomstick, that’s who! Bruce Campbell is once again back to kick some Deadite ass and save the day. Provided that he survives some light …
Honey, you got real old! Here, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, is our first picture of Bruce Campbell as Ash in the upcoming Starz’ Evil Dead TV reboo-quel, Ash vs Evil Dead. Also pictured are Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), Ash’s fellow employees at the Value Stop – presumably S-Mart was bought out or closed down after not enough …
Television adaptations of movies generally go down badly and I am still reeling from the tedious and over-indulgent pilot for From Dusk ‘Till Dawn. Maybe it got better, but an hour was enough for me to spend my time elsewhere. Yet the Evil Dead tv series, currently called Ash vs The Evil Dead, is shaping up with a lot of …
Yesterday we got the terrible news, courtesy of the recent Sony hack, confirming the rumours that Sony and Marvel were in fact in negotiations to co-produce a new Spider-Man trilogy with Marvel wanting to actually bring Spidey into their cinematic universe to debut in Captain America: Civil War.

A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
