While I often like B movies, I'd love to see a big budget Lovecraft adaptation. Guillermo doing something based on At The Mountains Of Madness would be awesome.

Btw, anyone seen the Evil Dead remake?

I have!!!

What do you want to know about it or did you see it recently?

It didn't reach Norwegian cinemas and, being a fan of the original, I am rather curious. Was it good? :)

I didn't have a really good memory of the original but the remake was really good to me. It kind of lulls a bit in the beginning but then it really gets going. They seemed to have added a bit more gore and the humor is still there but this time they are aware of it instead of the humor being unintentional like the original.

I thought it was a solid 7/10 movie. The reason to go is strictly for the buckets of blood.

That being said, they had to cut some stuff out to secure the R-Rating, so I'm hoping an unrated cut makes its way onto DVD sometime in the near future.

Cool, thanks for letting me know what you think :) Buckets of blood coupled with humour is a good combination!

I watched the Evil Dead remake a little while ago, I liked it. It was insanely graphic. The most stomach churning OHMYGAWD part for me was

Well, I'm going to have to say this. This was without a doubt the definitive visual experience for me. When Avatar came out I said that it can't get any better visually than this but Guillermo Del Toro did it. It is the pinnacle of special effects achievement. There is no way this film shouldn't make the amount of money Avatar did because its a better film on all accounts. These are bold statements I know but it really is a wonder to behold. Now there are some negatives. The acting was patchy. Idris Elba and Charlie Day were great but suffered through bad dialogue that infested the film. This can be pushed aside though because this is a full blown epic of a sci-fi film. Sci-fi has to be corny at times. It HAS to be. The subject matter at hand basically calls for it. I mean, giant robots battling gigantic aliens monsters? I'm sorry but if Joss Whedon wrote the dialogue it would have come off to hokey. Cheese was needed and I give it a pass. The middle of the film also did lack a bit. But my god the beginning and last 3rd of this film are just some of the most intense and wonderful minutes I've ever seen. It's a wonder. Bravo.

Oh and go see this in a real IMAX theater if you have one near you. It's an eight dollar extra charge for one of the most intense 130 minutes of your life.

4.5/5

Thanks Exo, think we're of a similar opinion regarding cheese, sci fi and dialogue. Definitely looking forward to Pacific Rim now!

I'm definitely with you on the cheese, but one aspect of the storyline legitimately bothered me, not so much that it detracted from the insane awesomeness, but after the movie was over I noticed it more...
