Scary Stories (from a Dark Allie)

Ah, here’s an Evil Dead movie I can really get behind. I mentioned way back when that I wasn’t a huge fan of the original, but I liked the others, and watching this again today…yeah, that’s still true.

Oh, hello October! I guess we’re back to movies I remember liking more when they came out?

I had fun with this one. Much of that fun was from seeing just how well Gracie Gillam plays a total creeper. She is SO GOOD.

Wow, I like this movie a surprising amount. I definitely remember liking it on my first watch, and even rewatching it at 1.75x speed this time, I was thinking WOW. So much yet so little happens. So many questions are posed and rarely answered.

I wasn’t too impressed with this movie. It had a reasonably interesting (if unoriginal) story, and the acting was pretty good, but it didn’t grab me like some of the other things I’ve watched this month.

Okay, it is true. I definitely liked this more than the original. The story is more tightly told, with the scare factor and tension being built up much earlier and more consistently.

I had a lot of problems with this movie. I thought the acting was great, but the pacing was off and parts of the story didn’t sit right with me, either.

Okay, to be honest, this is between four and five stars for me, but it’s been a while since I’ve rated something a full five stars, and this was entertaining enough, so…

I had fun with this film! I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything with Heather Graham, and even longer since I’ve actually liked something I’ve seen her in.

I’ve had this movie on my watch list for a long time and am only just getting around to it. It was okay, but nothing special. It’s one of those films where there’s an interesting story but sometimes the special effects are too laughable to be scary.
