- I DON'T LIKE CELLARS.
1. Death is important. It means something when people die. I do not find murder to be objectively entertaining.
2. At no point did I say we have to destroy all copies of all existing scary movies. In fact, please don't.
3. The reason I love Evil Dead is that its hilarious low-budget shittiness is so pure and sincere and weird. It's so funny because it's trying so hard, and failing so hard, to be the opposite of funny. (Also, tree rape.) Evil Dead 2 becomes aware that people loved/laughed at the shittiness of Evil Dead and hams it up, but manages to remain charming. But Army of Darkness is just ridiculous. It's trying too hard. It JUST BUGS THE SHIT OUT OF ME. The farther away the franchise gets from unintentional funniness, the more it gets mired in forced, unfunny, intentional funniness (camp, catchphrases, winkingness), which is no fun at all. I haven't spent this much time thinking about Evil Dead since high school (I used to think about it a lot). It has been fun! Goodbye.
