I’m finally free… of all you titty suckers.

I hereby declare this movie… groovy. It’s the big crowd-pleasing Evil Dead movie we were hoping for. Remixing the dark humour of ED 1, the polish of ED 2, and the savagery of the 2013 reboot, all blended together and perfectly paced, in a 1930s tower block. It moves from darkly funny to utterly savage. The premiere audience went ballistic.

Leads Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland absolutely ace it. And shout outs to two new fan faves: “Staffanie”, and a very special creation that director Lee Cronin told us is known only as… The Marauder. 

Apart from a couple of slight VFX stumbles; great job, no other notes. The energy and zing is through the roof, and it’s made for audiences… so SEE IT IN A THEATRE.

Come Get Some!
