It's subtle stuff. "You can't go to protests by yourself", "If I do this I'm gonna be the first female" somethingsomething.

The haircuts are also political haircuts. :lol: :P

She's a pretty convincing Evil Dead demon and was probably the best part of the movie (besides title scene). Chick with the short brown hair was not a convincing demon at all though.

the best part of the movie is when they're watching the action on the other side of the door. aside from the opening and title rise.

What I don't understand is why the demon can't just kick the door down if it wants in so badly. lol.

Mama crawling out of the entrance to the attic was pretty nice. And then the record player fingernail voicebox moment.

yeah, there is a lot to like in the film, if you don't try to dismiss it all out of hand. :P

The apartment complex setting just never sat well with me. It's nice as a standalone flick but they put in the Evil Dead elements and it makes me critique it more.

fair enough. i guess the evil dead has become so connected to the cabin setting. but it had to change at some point. and there were a lot of other horror flicks using that setting too. it was becoming cliche, hence your favorite clip.

Changing too much tends to be what brings a franchise downhill. Friday the 13th probably had the longest run as far as quality films go and it didn't do a hell of a lot of changing until they put him on a boat and sent him to a big city. Most everyone hated it. Then they blew him up. Most everyone hated it. Then they sent him to space. Most everyone hated it. :P

I would've thought Carrie vs. Jason would've been your favorite Friday the 13th.
