Evil Dead Rise (2023)
Not terrible, but not great either.
I blame myself for having such high expectations for this one. I thought with it being in an apartment complex in stead of the woods I was really hoping for a Rec moment of them fighting from floor to floor trying to escape, but the setting really didn't do much for the story at all. That and the gore seemed to be dialed back a bunch from the last Evil Dead. Like instead of a slow painful burn, things just happen so quickly and in quick succession that it doesn't hold much impact. My only other gripe is there's no real memorable or quotable scenes unlike all the other Evil Dead movies. Just finished the movie and can't remembery favorite scene.
Terrifier (2016)
Same 30 year old cliches
Pros:
Creeeeeeepy clown
cool and really well done effects
Cons:
Thee longest borefest I've seen in ages
No story
No heroes
No originality
At one point in time the movie got so dull I pulled out my phone and read a News article
A whole bunch of stuff that makes absolutely zero sense
Pretty sure the makers of this movie never used a hacksaw in their life
