Ep 183: Evil Dead (2013)

It's scary movie season so we decided to dig up (get it?) a modern horror film remake that needs more love and attention... 2013's Evil Dead. The first film by modern horror master Fede Alvarez, it was also produced by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, guaranteeing it would be handled by those who love the Evil Dead. This film has so much more going for it than a typical reboot or splatter-fest film, and we dive into all the reasons why. Before that, we give our top 5 horror remakes of all time... and our lists are really close to being the same! So grab your barbed wire books, your shotguns, and watch out for whatever that black stuff is... it's time for Evil Dead on The Movie Defenders podcast!
