Me as well. These reviewers are absolutely brutal on modern classics.

I'm sure this Saul film is very good as well, but the director of this film kindof pissed me off saying he watched The Grey Zone and disliked it for a multitude of reasons that I don't believe were fair criticisms, TGZ was immensely troubling and powerful filmmaking. I'm sure his film will be as well, in subtly

"Like no other?" Ummm, The Grey Zone.

I prefer my films hard-r with intense and visceral violently realistic scenes, not simply to shock, although that's the main point, but it is to make you question what you're watching is real or not, the better the fx with regards to violence the more thrust out of your comfort zone you'll be in and then right in that

I suppose that's true, I just really thought it was something quite special, it wasn't done perfectly, it's not a masterpiece like Beasts of No Nation is in terms of transcendental/existential horror(in my opinion), but it came very close and hit all the right notes(for me).

Oh yeah! I really liked Eden Log even though it kindof flzzled towards the end, and I didn't like much of Dante 01 at all other than admiring the set design, but you're right! I'm really glad so many films were made in that time period as a decent time capsule emotional snapshot of that particular generation of French

Don't forget Dans Ma Peau, Sheitan, Choses Secretes, Ma Mere, La Vie Nouvelle, Sombre, Baise-Moi, and Trouble Every Day.

You either loved all the New French Extremity films to greater and lesser degrees or you didn't Jack. I thought it was an amazing addition to the horror genre personally, but I'm sorry you and three other people seem to think it was redundant if it's not a modern classic, but I'd be curious as to what it was copying

Yes, S2 was already go before the pilot even aired so they knew to leave it wide open for S2.

He prolly swiped that from the Friedkin movie The Guardian tbh.

Agree, this episode and the previous came closet to the wild camera work and psychedelic horror feel of Evil Dead/ED2. We need the cabin after all, it appears. The cabin is what makes it feel like home. ;)

There's a purpose for it, but I sure didn't like seeing that char die and in that way. Stick with it, it all comes together in the end… ;)

Hey! It was the right grade. If any episode deserved it it was this amazeballs finale! This was like drinking 180 proof Evil Dead.

One last thought, does anyone know if Raimi was influenced by The Night of the Hunter as far as German expressionism? Because that cabin from the outside looks all of one or two bedrooms and a kitchen, but you get in there and it's like an M.C. Escher painting, not to mention the cellar, it turns into a sprawling vast

That's what I remembered! Bobby-Joe at the tobacco chewing girlfriend.

Probably the best episode of the whole season. Really enjoyed this one, and it felt closest to the essence of Evil Dead 2(probably because we finally got an entire episode where the main antagonist was the cabin itself). Interesting that they would show a video segment of the hick getting yanked down into the basement

That makes my Clive Owen crush amplified by 2X. ;P

Forgot to ask, are you watching Ash vs The Evil Dead? It's not too bad, I'm enjoying it for what it is. It is certainly no The Knick though. lol. ;P

It was a great run while it lasted, rite nknotz? ;)

Agree that it's Leo's time to win, if he doesn't then we know he has done something horribly wrong to the committee at some point in his past like pissed in their gin and tonics. lol.
