Strong On Fundamentals

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2018)

I'm glad Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell were producing, because no one else would have had the modesty and the good sense not to be intimidated by the legends of Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. With Ash and the Evil Dead doing three dynamite seasons on Starz, we didn't need another tribute to the classics. What we got was what we needed, a good horror movie that's strong on fundamentals. It's more conventionally paced than the old Raimi films, but it's also much more character-driven, and very well-acted. I can't wait to find something else that Jane Levy is in. I will see any movie is which she is possessed by evil spirits. She's like Barbara Steele all over again.
