    Red Letter or Michael Dougherty?
    Don't even pay attention to RLM but I am a big fan of Dougherty.

    Red Letter.

    You might enjoy the last 3 minutes of

    Red Letter Media Half in the Bag: Evil Dead :


    You might enjoy the whole thing but the last 3 minutes is like a evil dead sketch. I thought they did a funny job with it.

    I just got out of Cap America 3 and I have to say that Winter Soldier beats this movie as well, but it was good overall.

    I think Winter Soldier is still my favorite but I do think Civil War was better. This was a really tough film to make and they nailed it. That film tore me apart the whole time trying to figure out who to pull for and the reasoning for fighting wasn't fake or a cheap plot device. That's what happens when you have a whole set of movies before having these characters fight each other, unlike, umm...BvS.

    The VVitch finally was available to stream this past week.
    Perfectly creepy from front to back.
    I loved it, but I know this wasn't a consensus w horror friends.
    A lot of elements of The Crucible here but I'm a huge fan of that as well.

    Another film that essentially requires subtitles to get 100% of the dialogue - which is hugely important to this movie. I can imagine that was a huge detraction for folks who saw this in the theater.

    Wife and I saw it in the theater and didn't have any problems with dialogue. I can say this is one of the most remarkable films I've seen in the past few years. The more I think about it, the more I like it and the more there is to think about. I really need to watch it again. It's definitely not your typical horror flick. The evil is so deeply woven into the story of the characters that you forget there is a witch. Bonus (for me) are the theological themes it addresses. Superb storytelling!

    They definitely hit all the Arthur Miller Salem obsessions in this one. I can think of few horror movies where they cover 'signing the devil's book' - and none as unnerving as this one.

    Thomasin's scene frightening the younger sister was a tasty bit.
    I was reminded of one of the few times Winona Rider forged a similar scene as Abigail ( love this bit of dialogue):

    " And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know I can do it; I saw Indians smash my dear parents' heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish work done at night, and I will make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!"

    And I think that's mostly what was amiss with the on screen dialogue - as this film squarely relied on that same poetry. Missing even a word or two (and there was definitely some stuff completely inaudible onscreen) took away from it.

    I thought it was a bit like Passion of the Christ...... Watching someone suffer for two hours. Would have lime it if they showed more of the back story too instead of focusing so much on Leo rolling around on the ground in pain.
