I reviewed it here:

Your broken numeric list puts a “1" next to both Mario and Evil Dead. I’m also curious about just how much money Beau is Afraid made (I’m one of the people that saw it this weekend).

How did the original Evil Dead pave the way for Ghostbusters?

Has “police unpopularity” actually translated into lower ratings? My understanding is that enormous numbers of people still watch bog standard cop shows. I heard recently that Amazon had as its “control” pitch to audiences a ripoff of Starsky & Hutch, which they greatly preferred to the show they were actually

a supernatural being at feeds on their suffering

Coptic Egyptians (like Rami Malek’s family) are an endogamous community predating the Arab conquest. They are less black (or sub-Saharan African) in their ancestry than most Egyptians, since the Arabs brought a lot of slaves in. So, no there’s little reason to think pre-Arab Egyptians would look like Adele James.

I think of Black Christmas as being even less of a slasher than Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is itself merely a proto-slasher. TCM ends with its final girl escaping the (masked) killer. Black Christmas does not (the emphasis on a mistaken identity for the killer puts it a little bit closer to giallo). The character

It can be argued that 1981’s The Evil Dead, made on a shoestring budget when director Sam Raimi was barely 21, kicked off the 1980s boom in horror comedy [...] the 2013 Evil Dead remake was a more or less humorless repeat of Raimi’s first feature, and it failed to measure up to its predecessors

It’s worth noting that Gilpin starred in The Hunt, which Lindelof co-wrote.

It’s harder to hit a even a stationary target holding a pistol with one hand vs an AR-15 with two hands.

That would raise the question of why they were so trigger un-happy with the tracker that they didn’t get the car tagged earlier.

There is the interesting recent example of “Don’t Worry Darling” in which there were rumors of trouble behind the scenes... and Florence Pugh pointedly did not do press for the film and avoided addressing such rumors. Of course, that was a single feature she had completed work on, rather than a series that might

That turns out to be a typo, her last name is actually “Birch”.

An inspiring story of someone finally finding what they were good at.

There was already a DOOM movie.

I recall hearing it claimed that the gameplay in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is deliberately unpleasant to emulate how sucky it is to have mental illness.

Battle Beyond the Stars is an ok riff on Seven Samurai.

Wait, where is he from if not Brooklyn?

I’ve more often heard that this film is mediocre than terrible. It was only aiming for good-enough.
