08/28/2022 I’m a Deadite, and I really wanted to like this movie…but it just passed the time really and I feel poorly encompassed the subculture of fans. I mean no offense in saying this, but this definitely felt like an amateur’s/first timer’s attempt at a documentary. I feel the movie focused way too much time on a small faction of fans and at signings from one or two conventions. Throughout the movie we see clips of pop cultural programs and entertainment that were influenced or direct parodies/odes of the Evil Dead trilogy. I think it would have been better to learn more about those. Also, there was an Evil Dead the Musical (saw it on tour…it’s awesome). We see clips from a performance and of backstage scenes. I would have liked an actual interview with the writer/director of how the musical came to be and how they got the rights to do it. Finally, I’m sure he was on a tight budget, but if this was done correctly, there would have been even more conventions, Evil Dead showings, and more interesting stories from fans. This just felt like it wasn’t a full effort at the subject material.
