Welcome to Small Town Cinema, the movie podcast hosted by two bald, bearded guys who clearly spent more money on movie tickets than hair products. Each week, we review films from every genre-action, horror, comedy, drama, and the stuff you only watch because it was free on streaming. We're not experts, we're not critics, and we definitely didn't go to film school... but we do have opinions. Strong ones. Probably wrong ones.
So kick back, relax, and join us as we overanalyze movies way more than necessary. This is Small Town Cinema.
This week on Small Town Cinema, we’re diving into the blood-soaked world of Evil Dead (2013)! Join us as we review Fede Álvarez’s brutal reimagining of the horror classic, breaking down the terrifying Deadites, jaw-dropping practical effects, unforgettable kills, and how the film compares to Sam Raimi’s original.
⚠️ Spoiler Warning: We discuss major plot points, shocking moments, and the film’s explosive ending, so be sure to watch Evil Dead (2013) before listening if you want to avoid spoilers.
Do you think Evil Dead (2013) is one of the greatest horror remakes ever made, or does the original still reign supreme? Let us know your thoughts, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow Small Town Cinema for more movie reviews, retrospectives, and all things cinema!
