The Evil Dead (1981) Movie Review – Does Sam Raimi's Horror Classic Still Hold Up?
This Halloween, Nerds Against Normality heads into the woods for Sam Raimi’s cult horror classic, The Evil Dead (1981)! 🎃
Starring Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor, Betsy Baker and Theresa Tilly, and produced by Renaissance Pictures, this low-budget nightmare delivers demonic possession, buckets of blood and some truly questionable decisions.
Does The Evil Dead still hold up as a horror classic, or should we have left the Book of the Dead alone? Join us as three nerdy friends debate the gore, the scares and the legacy of one of horror’s most iconic films.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we're reviewing Resident Evil Apocalypse and heading back into the world of Umbrella Corporation for the sequel to the 2002 Resident Evil movie, based on Capcom's legendary survival horror video game series.
But does Resident Evil: Apocalypse deserve to survive the outbreak, or should this sequel have been left for dead?
We get into Milla Jovovich's return as Alice, Sienna Guillory's debut as fan-favourite Jill Valentine, the terrifying Nemesis, and director Alexander Witt's attempt to bring the chaos of the Resident Evil games to the big screen. From zombie carnage and action-packed set pieces to the film's horror credentials, we're putting this video game adaptation under the microscope in our Resident Evil: Apocalypse review.
Plus, Ben takes us into the world of SIGNALIS, the sci-fi survival horror game available on PlayStation. We explore its retro-inspired visuals, disturbing atmosphere, limited resources and psychological horror, as Ben tackles a nightmare filled with cryptic puzzles, sinister creatures and unsettling secrets.
It's all fun and games until somebody mentions the T-virus.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Review | Is John Carpenter’s Cult Classic Still Great?
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) — John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, ancient sorcery, underground monsters and one truck driver who somehow thinks he’s the hero of the story.
This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re heading into San Francisco’s Chinatown to revisit one of the strangest cult movies of the ’80s.
But does Big Trouble in Little China still deserve its cult-classic reputation, or is Jack Burton’s greatest trick convincing everyone this film makes any sense whatsoever?
We get into Kurt Russell’s brilliantly useless action hero, David Lo Pan, the Three Storms, John Carpenter’s completely unhinged mix of martial arts, fantasy, comedy and action — and all the wonderfully ridiculous moments that could only have come from the 1980s.
Plus, we put the film to the usual Nerds Against Normality treatment, go wildly off topic and find out whether all three of us actually agree on this one.
It’s all in the reflexes.
