Hot Garbage

Rating: 4/10 (4 October 2018)

This movie is garbage. The special effects are not great. It relies on too many jump scares and there not even clever jumpscares. They reminded me a lot of the "screamers" you would in get in online videos from years back. The acting wasn't that great. The only one I really liked in this was Justin Long and he's severely underused. I didnt like that she got cursed for literally doing her job. Maybe Sam Raimi thought it would make for a more compelling reason to feel sorry for her, but it just annoyed me more than anything. And then at the end, her whole conclusion is "I could have given her that extension and I didn't and that was wrong"...like.....no. As Justin Long pointed out earlier in the film , she already was given an extension twice. Its not your fault she isnt paying her mortgage. Also after failed advice after failed advice, the medium finally tells her she can gift the button away and even Alison Lohman's character has to ask "Why didnt you tell me that before"? Like, it just felt that they need to pad the runtime a bit and so they came up with something new for the character to have to do.
I think Evil Dead is great. I know Sam can do horror. I dont know if maybe there was too much studio interference, but this wasnt scary. If anything it was borderline stupid.
