Ash vs Evil Dead.


I finally got a chance to catch the first two episodes of this new show being produced on Starz. I dreaded it at first, because I did not know what to expect. The original two Evil Dead movies were small low budget films, that are cult classics. I watched both of them while I was a teenager. The third Evil Dead film was a moderately big budget production, that while it did well still dealt a lot in camp for its laughs.

With Bruce Campbell reviving his role as Ash and directed by Sam Raimi, the show strives to capture much of the essence of the original trilogy. There was as 2013 remake of the original Evil Dead with the input of both Campbell and Raimi, but it does not quite capture the horror and comedy of the originals.

I had great hope for this new series and was not disappointed. The 'evil' and deadites live up to their nature and style of horror from the trilogy. For any fans of the Evil Dead franchise, this is a must see.
