I mean, the makeup effects weren't the best but the moment when Scott gets right up and starts strangling Ash was a great moment of rising-action leading to the climax.
FreddysFingers Wrote:Briggs, Evil Dead is not all cheese but some moments can be a little campy like when the girl is sitting cross-legged on the floor laughing and clapping. That was campy. The rest was pretty scary but when the camera chases Ash around the house... that's also a little cheesy. I think the movie is typical drive-in horror. Still good though.Well the Sheila-demon, before her change into outright violence, I personally group into the category of "scary because it's played so childishly". The evil-spirit POV bits I can more see where you're coming from; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... though I usually attribute that stuff more to the comic-bookish style Raimi employs at some point in most of his films.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
