Cocaine BearEvil Dead Rise isn’t great, nor is it good, but it doesn’t suck, it’s just blah, which might be even worse. How can a movie have such intense visuals, and yet garner zero reaction?Yet again somebody finds a creepy book and makes the mistake of reading from it, only to have everyone around them die horribly at the hands of a demon possessed friend or relative. There’s so much potential in a formula like this to tell a story with characters we might care about, and yet it isn’t so.The old Evil Dead movies are terrifying, and yet charming and creative and fun, that’s why they work. This new installment is neither fun nor charming because it is essentially just a one trick pony: shocking bloody visuals. The problem is that these well produced visuals have no purpose, no context, no rules specific to this darker Evil Dead universe to provide meaning or direction for the story. Instead, everything is just chaos, so despite the intense violence the biggest shock of all is the irony of just how flat it all lands.Un-desensitized kids might find this scary, but without emotional resonance to mix in with the gore-fest, it’s nothing but a bore-fest, despite the trademarked over the top blood orgy.Find us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/rankedpodcastRumble: https://rumble.com/user/theRANKEDpodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/DBCbJU3WzmSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00O7Y6GMOpaHv7NyGytwCGApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ranked/id1667596243Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/20b61c14-953f-43c7-8970-e71b9d453ad0/rankedAnchor: https://anchor.fm/rankedpodcastPodvine: https://podvine.com/podcast/ranked-prHLxUfEv8wgYTelegram: https://t.me/RANKEDpodcastSupport the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379If you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooe
