TV Review - Season One
In a strange turn of events, Evil Dead – that’s the remake not Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead
– didn’t get a sequel. Or at least it hasn’t at the time of writing.
Which is kind of strange in the world of low budget horror movies that
get churned out all the time. Not that I’m complaining. While
bloodthirsty fans of splatter were sure to have been sated, for me it
lacked personality and was filled with characters who were so thinly
written for the sake of plot convenience that it was laughable at times.
That’s not to say this is a series about deep and interesting people of
course, don’t get me wrong. But they were more like puzzle pieces that
fit into their designated roles instead of just a fun ensemble. Even the
original with its nastiest moments had some level of charm. Remember
