An homage to Sam Raimi’s cult horror trilogy, in the wake of the (inevitable, really) remake.
by David Baldwin
After years of rumors, the remake of Evil Dead is finally here. I thought it was well worth the wait, but obviously anything will be considered inferior to Sam Raimi’s original trilogy.
Shot between 1979-1980 but not officially premiered until 1982, Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead introduced the world to the now legendary Bruce Campbell, and his buffoonish jerk character Ashley J. Williams – but we all know him better as Ash. Although movies …

‘Tis, as they say, the season to be jolly, and then there are a bunch of fa la la’s and rum pa pum pums and the only allusion any of us will make all year to figgy pudding. And when the holiday season is upon us, of course our collective minds can only go to those Very Special Christmas Episodes that so often enliven our December viewing schedules.
Here, a …

Not Maggie and Glen! “When the Dead Come Knocking” was a slow burner of an episode designed to setup the big confrontation for next week’s mid-season finale. It wasn’t the most jaw-dropping or action packed episode of the season so far, but it still managed to ooze tension from beginning to end. …
