Evil Dead Rise Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

 

Evil Dead fans the franchise that just won't die is now finally back with a new film a whopping TEN years after the last one. What sets this film apart tho is the fact that it tries to do something new and different but with the film being sandwiched between The Super Mario Bros Movie and John Wick Chapter 4 only time will tell if this film makes money at the box office and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE of the film that sees a classic franchise return from the dead with the film in question being called simply just "Evil Dead Rise" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a single mother becomes possessed it's up to her sister and three children to try and defeat the evil inside of her once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really refreshing and was something that we havn't seen in this franchise at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Lily Sullivan as Beth , The Devil Wears Prada star Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie and One Piece star Morgan Davies as Danny Also starring in this film is Gabrielle Echols as Bridget , Nell Fisher as Kassie , Richard Crouchley as Caleb , Mirabai Pease as Teresa , Anna-Maree Thomas as Jessica , Power Rangers Dino Fury star Noah Paul as Bruce , Jayden Daniels as Gabriel , Billy Reynolds-McCarthy as Jake and Tai Wano as Scott.

Now then interms of I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films cast being made up of mostly unknown actors. Which means that the acting won't be that good but to this films credit the cast really do make the most of what very little is given to them to work with.

Doing the CGI for this film is Cause and FX , Odd Studio and the legends and the greats that are currently over at SSVFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but you can still tell where they used CGI which did take me out of the movie.

 

This film does something that's fairly new for this franchise and that's have the main bulk of the film take place in a new location. With the main bulk of the film taking place in a High Rise building which is such a cool idea however the film doesn't really take full advantage of it as we don't get to see that many people that live their and we don't get to see alot of the carnage that a deadite could create in a building like that which is a shame because it would have made the movie just all the more cooler and more scarier and creepier to see.

As is to be expected with this franchise this film has a ton of gore so much so that I had a hard to time finding images that I could use because alot of them had a ton of gore in them. I really did like that this film had a ton of gore in it because that's one of the things that this franchise is famous for and with a ton gore it also makes the film oddly comedic as there's alot of gore that it becomes cartoonish at just how much gore is seen on screen however tho even I liked that this film had a ton of gore I would have liked if they toned it down a bit just so they could focus more on the characters and making the characters fully three dimensional characters.

Like I just said this film doesn't really make it's characters three dimensional characters which was something that I really hated. As it gave me no reason to like or even care for these characters where as if you contrast that with the other films in this franchise your given reasons to like and to care for those characters and yet for some reason this film just doesn't do that and so when these characters die your not feeling scared for them or sad for the your just left feeling nothing all of which is because of the fact that the characters appear really as nothing more then cardboard cutouts and really nothing more then that.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and fifty five seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for a film like this one to last as you very easily could have gotten this film up to two hours just by expanding on the story and with that running time you'd then have the time needed to fully flesh out your characters and make us the audience actually care for your characters something which this film just can't do with it's current running time but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film were in all honesty really awesome. With this film having some very gory and some very over the top kills all of which were really creepy and were also really creative as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is a really good film but at the same time it didn't really scary me as much as the 2013 film still does but this film is still a really fun film to watch and it should please any die hard Evil Dead fan as it's that good of a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Evil Dead fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Renfield Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

 

Actor Nicolas Cage has been seeing a bit of a career resurgence over the last couple of the years with the actor releasing great film after great film. Well now he's back with another film that looks to continue that trend and well after seeing the films insane trailer I just had to check this film out the very chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review of the film that really does put a new spin on some classic characters with the film in question being called simply just "Renfield" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Renfield Dracula's henchman for decades longs for a life away from the Count , his various demands and all of the bloodshed that comes with them. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being rather enjoyable but also rather weak but dumb in an enjoyable way and thin as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Nicholas Hoult as Renfield , Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula and Awkwafina as Rebecca Quincy. Also starring in this film is Ben Schwartz as Teddy , Adrian Martinez as Chris , Shohreh Aghdashloo as Bellafrancesca , Brandon Scott Jones as Mark , Jenna Kanell as Carol , Bess Rous as Caitlyn , Camille Chen as Kate , James Moses Black as Captain Browning and Caroline Williams as Vanessa.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With Nicolas Cage just killing it as Count Dracula by turning in a performance that only he can with the rest of this films cast being as over the top as you'd want them to be and turning in some really good performances in this film as well.

Doing the CGI for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Industrial Light & Magic and Outpost VFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho it wasn't all that good either with this films CGI looking good but really fake as well.

This isn't the first time that Universal Pictures have attempted to do a Dracula spin off with the first one being the 2014 film that was meant to kick start their failed cinematic universe "Dark Universe" which was bad that it ended after two movies with the film itself being called simply just Dracula Untold. I only bring that film because this film is a great example of how to do a Dracula film in the modern day with this film harkening back to what made the character so iconic whilst also updating him in a way that feels rather natural and organic.

I will say that this film really doesn't do that good of a job of making Dracula himself seem all that scary. Which is a shame since alot of people are going to be seeing this movie because of the fact that they want to scared by Dracula and when he's not delivering on being scary all your left with is a character that isn't even fully formed yet which is something that could also be said for alot of this films characters as alot of them just feel like cardboard cut outs of much better characters instead of being their own characters.

As a comedy this film isn't all that funny but in this case that isn't so much of a bad thing as it's quite clear to me that the makers of this film put alot more effort into it's scares. Which does make sense since the last Dracula comedy I think came out in the nineteen nineties and wasn't all that good and so putting alot more effort into making the kills as over the top as possible does make sense but at the same time with this film being a horror comedy there are some decent jokes to be found in this film just sadly not all that many.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and thirty nine seconds. Which is such a short running time for this film to have since it has so much setting up to do and not alot of time to do it and as such the film does suffer because of it as plot points feel rushed and unearned and as such this film really should have a longer running time just so that the plot could be more fully fleshed out and so that the characters could be more fully developed and it doesn't help that this film really doesn't have that good pacing at all.

So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have to talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film were in all honesty really good. With this films many gruesome and very often very gory as all heck death scenes being where the film is most fun just because we get to see people die in really creative and fun ways which is always fun to see in any film regardless of it's a horror film or not in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really fun movie and while it's quite clearly not as good as say The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent it is still a really good and fun film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very film well then boys and and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , the official Evil Dead fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Living With Chucky Film Review

 

There are quite alot of horror icons out there but so few of them also become pop culture icons as well and even fewer get their own documentary. Well now we have yet another new horror documentary about one of the most underrated horror icons out there and well with this character now seeing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the Chucky TV show and as such it was only right that this character got his own documentary and so then join me as I review the film that really does prove that you really can't keep a good guy down with the film in question being called simply just "Living With Chucky" enjoy.

As this is a documentary it doesn't have a plot with it's basic idea being how these Child's Play and Chucky movies were made and how the franchise became as big as it was. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho I would have liked it if the film instead chose to focus on the relationship between Fiona Dourif and her father Brad Dourif as that really would have made for a really interesting documentary in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is franchise star Brad Dourif , Abigail Breslin , Christine Elise , Jennifer Tilly , directing John Waters and The Lord Of The Rings star Billy Boyd. Also starring in this film is Fiona Dourif , this films writer , producer , editor and director Kyra Elise Gardner , Tony Gardner , Adam Hurtig , Lin Shaye , Marlon Wayans , Youtuber James A. Janisse , David Kirschner , franchise creator Don Mancini , Dan Povenmire , Ash T , Anthony Timpone and Alex Vincent.

I have to admit that I really did like alot of the people that they interviewed for this film as they not only got people who have worked on the films and the TV show but they also got fans of the franchise involved as well. What really helped to sell these interviews for me was the fact that nobody was repeating what the other person had just said which is something that you always run the risk of happening in any documentary but that wasn't the case here as they really just talked about there own personal experience working on the Child's Play and Chucky franchise and really nothing more then that.

As is to expected they did go into to detail about how the franchise came to be which was something that I liked. As that was something that I not only didn't know but was also something that was very interesting even finding out what some of the other titles where for the first Child's Play movie some of which while more fitting where also a mouthful to say where also kind of interesting and that makes me wish that the film was more like that as it gave you an insight as to how this horror icon came to be and what went into his creation.

To me the best horror documentary that's out their is quite easily Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy. As that film gave you everything that you'd want from a horror documentary even breaking down how each of those films where made and created and that's something that's sorely lacking from this film which is a shame because the film does start of going that route but then it just starts of covering other things related to the franchise that just aren't that interesting and what makes things worse is the fact that each of the films aren't given the same amount of time dedicated to them with the first film getting the most time dedicated to it.

For those that are wondering this film only covers the first seven Child's Play movies and the Chucky TV show. With the film not even mentioning the remake which was to be expected but what wasn't expected was the fact that they don't mention the rights for the films switching from MGM for the first film to Universal Pictures for the rest of the films which is shame because that could have made for some great parts of this film and it's something that's important to this franchise and so it makes no sense for them for them not to include it in this film.

I really did like how this film touched upon the fact that people are dragged away from their families when there making either a movie or a TV show. As that's something that we as fans and none fans often either forget about or just don't know about which is a shame because these people seem more human as their stuck essentially working a job where the hours are super long but where as if you worked an office job you'd be able to see your family these people often go for weeks without seeing their families.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty minuets and forty five seconds. Which wasn't really that long of a running time for this film to have as like I said all of the movies barring the first film aren't given alot of time and as such I really wish that this film was quite a bit longer just so that they could give each and every film the love and attention that they all deserve but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it and that is something that could be lost if the film had a much more longer running time.

So now then since there is some comedy in this film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. This is because we got to see just how these people when there not acting in anything and so the jokes they have with each other is alot more genuine and is pretty funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this is a good documentary I can't say that it's the best horror themed documentary out there and while Child's Play fans might like this film it's also a film that could have been so much better in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , the official Child's Play fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Killer Rack Film Review

Horror fans after nearly ten years of waiting a film that i've been desperate to see was finally made available online. As such I just had to check this film out since i've been waiting close to a decade to see it and well this movie was more then worth then wait as it's just as fun and just as bad that I thought that it would be and so then horror fans join me as I review the film really does make Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey look good comparison with the film in question being called simply just "Killer Rack" enjoy.

The plot of this film is after she gets plastic surgery Betty Downer discovers that her adjustments have some killer habits. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty just as bad and just as strange and weird as you'd both expect and want it to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Echo Falls and Guns Of Eden star Jessica Zwolak as Betty Downer , horror legend Debbie Rochon as Cate Thulu and this films writer and producer Paul McGinnis as Tim. Also starring in this film is Youtuber Michael Thurber as Mr. Raquel , producer and directing legend Lloyd Kaufman as Dr. Foin , Brooke Lewis as The Voice Of The Killer Rack and horror actor and director Sam Qualiana as Dutch.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad which given just how low budget this film this film very easily could have hired a bunch of really bad actors but the fact that they didn't just goes to show that this films cast are some decent actors and actresses who can and in this case of this film do turn in some pretty good performances.

This film really does look cheap but to this films credit it's not really hindered by it's small budget instead it thrives with it. This is because this film knows that it's a cheap to make to film and so has alot of fun with by having these one of characters just tell random jokes all of which only serve to add to the overall fun factor of this film altho I will admit that this film does have some really bad looking CGI which were done by an unknown company which just look really bad even by this films already very low standards.

The one word that i'd use to describe this film is fun as that what this film is it's fun in every sense of the word. Which is something that works really well in this films favor since it's not trying to be this deep horror movie that makes you think it instead it's just trying to be something that will keep you entertained for the films running time and that's it and interms of cheap dumb entertainment you can't really go wrong with this film as it gives you everything that you want from a film like this and then some.

For some strange reason the makers of this film chose to turn it into a stage production which does sound kind of interesting. As I don't think there have been that many horror films let alone a horror comedy that have been turned into a musical stage show I don't know who was involved with the stage show but it's a show that I can't really see going down all that well just because of the subject matter behind this entire premise but hey if they can make it work for a film that maybe then can work for stage show.

I feel that this film works more as a comedy then it does a straight up horror film as this film is so bad that you can't help buy laugh at it. Heck even the jokes that this film tries to tell aren't that funny and as such your only laughing at the film and not with the film altho I will say there are two police characters which did get a big laugh out of me since all they do is speak in cliches with the older of the two even saying that he's retiring in a weeks time I only wish that they went all the way with their joke just by having them survive the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and thirty one seconds. Which is a great running time for this film as this film really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot and story and as such if you added even just ten minuets to this films running you;d be stretching an already thin story even thinner but on the flip side of that tho I would have liked it if this film was a little bit longer just so that some of the characters could be fully fleshed out and I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really over the top. However at the same time due to this films really small budget we don't get to see alot of this films kills which for a horror film you really do want to see all of the kills in any given horror film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is just as bad as you'd want it to be and just as bad as you'd expect it to be which really does add to the overall fun factor of this film and it makes this film all the more entertaining to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Movie & TV fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
