could this have influenced the evil dead at all? and are there more japanese / asian horror movies that are similar?
it isn't really anything overt. there are a group of people at a cabin with supernatural forces going on, in a surreal / campy way. but it's not any direct reference or anything. it could just be me seeing things into it that aren't there.Slaughterhouserock wrote:It's been awhile since I've watched it, but I don't see an Evil Dead connection at all.
ewwww. no.Jason wrote:I've not seen it, but know pretty well about it.
More in line with Babadook. :p
No doubt. Italy alone has at least 15 horror flicks I really enjoy, not to mention a smattering from across Europe and Asia (well, and Canada). :pzombie wrote:i've been reading around, and there a few places that consider it to be an influence for sam raimi. one or two even calling evil dead a "spiritual predecessor", so i'm not alone.. even if it's unfounded.
top 15 foreign may be close, but there is a lot of competition.
Since I'm in the USA, and I am a very literate person, yes.zombie wrote:do you consider canada to be foreign?
Because they don't feel foreign at all, to most viewers, I'd expect.Jason wrote:How is Canada not foreign? lol. Evil Dead is foreign to Seb.
But if a movie is German, but dubbed in English, would you see that as foreign?zombie wrote:i guess i consider foreign to be non-english language. i don't consider movies made in england to be foreign. but technically it is.
i guess i should have said original language. if you dub a german movie into english, it's still german to me. and i know i've seen a lot of italian movies that don't have the original language track to go along with it... but they're still foreign.Jigsaw wrote:But if a movie is German, but dubbed in English, would you see that as foreign?zombie wrote:i guess i consider foreign to be non-english language. i don't consider movies made in england to be foreign. but technically it is.
Genuinely curious.

Consistent. Incorrect, but consistent.
