#EvilDeadRise is a substantial improvement from 2013's #EvilDead reboot. The characters in this one actually feel real enough for me to get emotionally invested. It does away with the overt campiness of the original trilogy, as is the trend. I've never been a big Ash fan anyway.
Still the VFX/scares stay closer to the fun side of the genre, despite the buckets of blood. The monstrosity at the climax is great.
Top of the pops on my website this week is my accidental growing of the massively poisonous and hallucinogen Datura stramonium or devil’s snare! A fascinating plant in #mythology and #folklore the world over but not one to have with a family around.
