Most Horror fans were very, very worried that Dede Alvarez's 2013 remake of The Evil Dead would be a heartless cash-in on the 1981 original. But Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell did not let us down.

Feeling up for a beach-front holiday? The Bay will definitely change that. This Mockumentary-Sci Fi-Disaster-Nightmare feels very ahead of it's time, even thirteen years later. This movie might seem out of season, but Lucas thinks there are  always good reasons to stay out of the ocean!
