Your Weekend Assignment...
05/28/09 06:02 PM
Here’s all you need to know:
- It’s an old-school fright film written and directed by Sam Raimi, you know the guy who did those Bruce Campbell movies, and looks to be a glorious return to his roots.
- It combines humor and horror in a way that for once doesn’t center on a pack of myopic, moronic, sex-starved teens and their wacky hijinks.
And last but not least...
-It has absolutely nothing to do with J-Horror, Torture Porn, Remakes/Reimaginings or any of the other hackneyed, cliché frameworks that have been choking the life out of the Horror genre over the last several years.
Seriously, all you silver screen scream freaks need to see this film. It currently has a 95% at Rotten Tomatoes, a feat that’s all but unheard of for a horror movie on the site.
For those of you who just can’t make it over the weekend, or for some reason actually value my opinion, look for my review to appear on Sunday.
-Quoth the Raven
