minus-squarenifty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·11 months agoCabin in the Woods also has questionable use of female characters, but like Scream it was attempting commentary, so it works. Were older Evil Dead movies also doing similar kind of meta horror genre commentary?
minus-squareTakumidesh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoNot really, the first evil dead just has a particularly egregious scene involving a handsy tree. The series as a whole is fantastic and evil dead 2 and army of darkness are barely horror movies. The first movie still has its merits and raimi has gone on record stating that he regrets the tree scene.
