LOL at the DVD tagline: Sick Of Waiting For 'Evil Dead 4' Check Out....


dvd tagline is-

'Sick Of Waiting For 'Evil Dead 4' Check Out....Damned by Dawn'

I found the tagline funny has hell, usually when other films get name dropped its 'from the director of' or featuring 'actor/actress' of. I guess its a little misleading but fair play to the distributers its a small budget horror from Oz sell it all you can.

I think i'm gonna make an indie horror and my taglines going to be 'from a director whos watched Martyrs, Hellraiser & Ghostbusters 1 and 2 comes...'

I think that if Evil Dead 4 is along the same lines as Army of Darkness then it will be sh!t. As AOD is the weakest entry to the ED series. It is so naff!. I am in fact willing to bet that this movie will pish all over Evil Dead 4 as Raimi has turned the ED series into a *beep* comedy show now.

I saw this via the Chiller channel out of pure chance, and really ENJOYED this flick....

leave it to the video company cover guys to give it an impossibly high bar to reach given the Evil Dead trilogies legion of fans, this is NO Evil Dead, but there were some obvious homages (ripoff...whatever U wanna call 'em) in the movie. Going into it blindly (back to back with the HORRIBLE Hellementary) and forgiving the terrible CGI'd ghouls, I really, really enjoyed this flick!

I despise when the video companies make the inevitable comparison, to set that expectation that high sets up for easier dissapointment. There was an ultra low budget zombie movie that I also caught on cable that I enjoyed, only to see people flaming the movie on imdb mostly BECAUSE of the video box cover's comparison to Shaun of the Dead.

It's films like this that breathe dollars into the lives of the ten hundred thousand wannabee pretty boys & girls who crawl around Hollywood & other places further afield(like Australia) desperately seaching for work to get their names in lights.
Their non-existant careers will all be damned forever now though after this appalling travesty that dares to call itself a film with actors in it.
