That title says it all, I believe that Sam Rami's Evil Dead @ is the Greatest movie ever made. Sure that's just one podcasts opinion but We have a little help from some family this week to back up our case.Evil Dead II (1987) is a cult classic horror-comedy film directed by Sam Raimi. It serves as both a sequel to and a reimagining of the original The Evil Dead (1981). The film blends elements of horror, slapstick comedy, and over-the-top gore, creating a unique and highly influential style.The

Twisters is the kind of ReBoot that doesn't bother us on this show, sure its dumb, but it keeps the action moving. It thankfully also features tow likable leads and a director who is more than game to add his stamp on the disaster genre.

This week we look at the well made but pointless Poltergeist remake from 2015. It’s not an awful film like The Fog was but it doesn’t help that every frame of this gets compared to the Tobe Hooper classic. This is special show for us because, due to a falling tree, we lost power in our home and recorded our show in the Texas summer heat and in the dark.If you would like to contact us just hit us up on any of our socialsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grittyreboot?_t=8mPkRabCNIs&_r=1IG:

They should not have bothered with remaking The Fog in 2005. This is a lackluster and completely forgettable remake. I feel bad for kids who grew up with this constantly airing on the sci fi channel.

We may not have said the nicest things about Charles Bronson's original but man it’s a masterpiece compared to this. Listen to us as we complain about Bruce Willis sleeping his way through this film. Before he retired Bruce turned in some of the worst performances of his career. Eli Roth can’t even his his genre sensibilities to elevate this vigilante justice turkey.
