Fede Alvarez’s ‘Evil Dead’ Conjures Doubt and Dread Within Sam Raimi’s Woods [Halloweenies Podcast]

Something strange is going on. The Halloweenies are back at the cabin, only there’s no Ash. The Delta is outside, sure, but there’s no sign of our chainsaw-wielding lothario. No, there’s a new darkness within these woods — one that’s wrapped in plastic and harnessed by barbed wire. You might call it an abomination. Damn, things sure got ugly around here… and fast.

Join the gang around the cellar door as they unchain Fede Alvarez‘s 2013 reimagining of Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. Together, they debate whether or not this is a remake, a requel, or a sequel before praising the depth of the story, the performances of Jane Levy and Lou Taylor Pucci, and all the practical effects. Special guest includes Rachel Reeves of Rue Morgue.
