Reminds me of Evil Dead
Just saw the trailer and Evil Dead was the first thing that entered my mind.
shareAbsolutely not. I humbly ask you to remove this post, before more people see this and are fooled by your lies. The Evil Dead was a cinematic masterpiece, as were the next two films in the series. This film is on par with Zombie Strippers, another Robert Englund "Classic." The Evil Dead is nothing like Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, at all. You sir, are an uninformed charlatan, and need to see The Evil Dead again, if you think this film is at all similar.
There are things that go bump in the night, and we are the ones who bump back!
Yeah it reminded me of The Evil Dead as well in certain spots.
shareYeah... uh... it reminded me of Evil Dead as well. And nobody said it was on par, just reminiscent. We'll compare the average rating to your apparent disdain and see who has more people on there side, the haters or the people who thought it was a fun movie.
shareit totally is a rip off on evil dead.
shareThe Zombie like creatures in Monster Slayer definitely resemble Deadites, but that's the only comparison I see in both movies. Well... and the theme of possession too I suppose... but regardless, I thought Monster Slayer was totally a fun movie. As good as Evil Dead? Of course not, but it was still a total blast from the past of the days of all the Evil Deads, Monster Squads, The Gates and so on... cheesmo 80's horror movies ya can't help but love, as long as you don't take them so serious.
shareAn 'uniformed charlatan'? Maybe you didn't see the same movie. The monsters in this film were clearly a throwback to the deadites. From the make up, to the way they moved, and even the camera shots on them. The main character reminded me much more of Army of Darkness Ash than Evil Dead. Well, at least not the first ED. Because that Ash was weak and frightened. Evil Dead 2 showed him having more nerve. Then AoD Ash was the cocky character we all love.
The film it self doesn't so much remind me of Evil Dead. But elements of it were obviouslly inspired by Sam Raimi's work. Even the scene where Jack goes to his van to get his tools, seemed very much like Ash in the tool shed. Or when he goes back into the school to face the monsters and it zooms in on his face, I was waiting for a "Yo She Bitch!"
Opinions are just that, and I can understand where not everyone would enjoy this movie. Yet, I read in another post where someone said it was like another lame Sci-Fi tv film. It is far from that. Sci-Fi's original movies are normally some of the worst out there. This film may not achieve the cult status of Evil Dead, but it is very enjoyable.
I had just heard this movie was horrible, so I went on that, because I love The Evil Dead, I was kinda just joking, sorry if I offended you or whatever.

Oh no offense taken. I just thought you were throwing criticism out there based on seeing it already, and couldnt see how you didn't see the similarities.
There are enough to make it very different, but enough to easily say it had to be influenced by Evil Dead.
I had heard it was horrible as well, but I had heard the same of Evil Dead too. That didn't stop me from watching either. I remember being about 10 years old watching Evil Dead for the first time and thinking I had found the Holy Grail of movies. lol

I thought it was exactly like the evil dead... except for the plot and that it was much better!
shareI love the Evil Dead films, actually I love anything involving Bruce Campbell.
Jack Brooks DID have a few references though, the cover similar to Army of Darkness and near the end where he wraps duct tape around his arm where he was bit sorta reminded me of Ashs' metal hand in Army of Darkness.
Probably more of a homage to Evil Dead than a rip-off.
'Bruce Campbell is master of me!'
