probably could've used more than a day, but wrote something!

[aaron @aaronxsts]

I think I want to write something about Evil Dead (2013). Insane movie

[aaron @aaronxsts]

can we not have film festivals platforming generative-AI works??

[aaron @aaronxsts]

yall need to free yourselves. that being said, if any of you guys see me watching a movie alone in melbourne feel free to start a convo 🙏🏽 always wanna talk to people about movies

[T#3 @tykng_]

Going to the movies by yourself is literally a humiliation ritual

[Out of context Violence @OOCviolence]

The Wolf House (2018)

[aaron @aaronxsts]

I think Evil Dead Burn is my kind of "elevated" horror (hate the term, but whatever). If you're going to deal explicitly with an idea, don't let it detract from the HORROR MOVIE at the centre. The Smile movies (2 especially) also do this well.

cinema rewatches in 2026 so far
- Obsession x3 (9/10)

@feltoland hate how hard it is to find any other george miles book other than closer :/ (which was great!!)

[aaron @aaronxsts]

My main issue with Evil Dead Rise (which i love!!) is that it's, beat for beat, a reskinned Evil Dead (2013)

[🐜 @looovelorn]

do you really believe evil dead burn is superior? do you actually believe that?

[aaron @aaronxsts]

don't care how horrible a person is, never an excuse to attack their appearance. genuinely gross behaviour and i have no idea why it's given such a free pass

Remember for every insult you fling at her, theres at least a thousand people with the same attributes, who did nothing wrong, and yet now understand the world considers them disgusting.

[aaron @aaronxsts]

im so done with streaming services. cinema, pirating, and physical media is the only way you'll see me watching shit. netflix, you're not getting a cent.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Netflix has revealed that roughly 300 of their TV shows have used generative AI at some point in the production process.

@SailorJDove and sinners!

[aaron @aaronxsts]

@SailorJDove I mean I personally love a lot of these films, but I'm confused how so many of these AREN'T this. Men is probably THE example. X, Us, The Substance, Heretic, I Saw the TV Glow are all great but absolutely metaphorror even if they aren't about "trauma"

[𝕵𝖔𝖘𝖍 ⚰️ @EvilDeadOfNight]

It's okay Malignant, get behind me.

[aaron @aaronxsts]

checked and realised ive given the evil dead, evil dead 2, army of darkness, evil dead rise, and evil dead burn ALL 8/10s. wow

[aaron @aaronxsts]

@NathanUWU8 @screamsivann Is this a critic or audience review? I don't really believe in dismissing every RT certified critic just because I disagree with swathes of them (I mean I quite enjoyed Burn). Sure, some are hacks, but plenty are thoughtful, creative writers!

[aaron @aaronxsts]

@hugeasmammoth_ saw someone suggest Arkasha Stevenson! i feel like she could direct a meannn evil dead period piece

[aaron @aaronxsts]

pleaaaase female-directed evil dead

[Variety @Variety]

"Evil Dead Burn" director Sébastien Vaniček says "I don’t think I would write and direct another 'Evil Dead.'"

"The only one who can do two 'Evil Dead' movies is Sam Raimi! It’s a franchise that needs a fresh vision and fresh directors all the time. Fans want to be surprised, and if we want to keep the franchise alive, we need those different visions."

[aaron @aaronxsts]

Evil Dead Rise is more consistently "good", has a very loveable cast, and probably THE central Deadite performance, but part of me respects Evil Dead Burn for taking much bigger swings. Rise plays out, beat for beat, like a reskinned 2013 version.

[aaron @aaronxsts]

Not surprised it performed poorly, I didn't see a trailer or poster for it once in the theatres...

[Bloody Disgusting @BDisgusting]

CORRECTION - EVIL DEAD BURN debuted this past weekend with $13.7 million in U.S. theaters and $25 million at the worldwide box office.

Evil Dead Rise opened to $24.5 million in the U.S. alone 3 years ago.

The good news? EVIL DEAD WRATH is headed to theaters April 7, 2028.
