Grab your boomsticks and check the basement, because we are diving into the 1981 cult classic, The Evil Dead. We're looking back at Sam Raimi’s extremely bloody, incredibly low-budget cabin-in-the-woods masterpiece (or student film, depending on which one of us you ask). One of us went in expecting to hate it and came out completely charmed, while the other realized their nostalgia goggles might have been painted with gratuitous amounts of corn syrup. We are breaking down the shockingly low $350,000 budget funded mostly by Detroit dentists, the birth of the "why didn't you just leave the cabin?" horror trope, the deeply questionable taxidermy, and the legendary "fake shemps" Plus, we take a stab at recasting the movie for a modern audience—and surprisingly, we actually agree on Austin Butler being a great fit.
