Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

Thought about starting something like this, kinda like the "Talkback" threads in the Godzilla series started by lhb412. I call this one "The Nostalgic Zone". Instead of Godzilla, we could chat about the old movies which, hopefully, we come to know and love!

Well, shall we start. I don't know about others here, but I truly enjoyed the Evil Dead Series with Bruce Campbell. I know, they are stupid, and cheesy and whatnot, but I love them. They make me laugh! From the first Evil Dead to The Army of Darkness. Not sure if there are any more than that, but I do know that the character Ash appears in comics and whatnot as well. My favorite would probably be the The Army of Darkness, I just love all the cheesy and hilarious goodness it gives! Discuss whether you dislike or like this film, it don't matter!

The first Evil Dead movie is actually really scary, and then the next two go for the horror-comedy thing...

not sure which I prefer, it all REALY depends on my mood, but I find myself watching Army of Darkness more than the others, as you said, the campiness is just pure gold!

I love all of the Evil Dead films, though my favorite depends on my mood. I think of Evil Dead as straight horror, Army of Darkness as straight comedy, and Evil Dead 2 as one of the few really effective combinations of both genres. All in all it's just an extremely fun series.

To be honest I was initially a little let down by how the last two films veered into comedy territory, but over the years I've come to appreciate them a lot more. Sam Raimi's style is really an acquired taste, so I can understand how some people don't care for his work, but his best films strike what I consider to be a near-perfect tongue-in-cheek balance.

I have to disagree GKiller referring to the Feast movies as "classics" though. They're not quite my cup of tea. I'll admit that I've not seen 2 & 3, but the first one was just...I dunno, kind of obnoxious. Heck, as I recall one of the judges on Project Greenlight (Wes Craven, maybe?) was actually kind of mad that Feast won funding through that show. Oh well, takes all kinds.

I have exceedingly particular tastes when it comes to what I perceive to be horror-comedy films. I've honestly only ever seen a handful (Evil Dead 2 & 3, Brain Dead/Dead Alive, and Shaun of the Dead) that I liked very much, so I'll freely admit that it may be an issue with me rather than the Feast movies themselves.

I love the Evil Dead series! I seen all of them and own the Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition with 3 discs and a poster as well the regular THX edition of Evil Dead 2. In terms of enjoyment, I watch 2 and Army of Darkness more than Evil Dead 1, but if I'm in a serious mood but want some dark humor and not a overload like 2, I watch Evil Dead 1.
