Evil dead movie7/1/2023 ![]() In context, however, the movie earns those corpse decays by the end if it does its job right (and it still does, on me at least) you're engrossed enough in the story that a dated effect doesn't matter, any more than it does that 1933 King Kong is plainly stop-motion combined with close-ups of a giant fake head. ![]() ![]() I hadn't previously watched the movie start to finish since I encountered it on home video in the '80s, and its horror absolutely worked on me, but I had more recently seen the stop-motion decaying corpses at the end on TV and thought, "Well, that dated badly." I was honestly worried that 4K would showcase "cheapness," possibly by exposing effects and wires and the like. But that first Evil Dead, which originally grossed $2.4 million on a $350,000 budget, out this week on 4K from Lionsgate, is no franchise-starter by accident, and it deserves your attention. ![]()
