They say that you can't improve on perfection.....well, at least two directors tried. On today's episode of Bodybag Podcast, we're going to see if two remakes can live up to the originals that they derive from. First up...Sam Raimi created a horror classic with Evil Dead. And Evil Dead Rise gave the franchise a much needed jolt of life. But sandwiched in between those two was a 2013 remake, directed by Fede Álvarez. Does it deliver the gore and dark humor of the original? After that, we have the Town that Dreaded Sundown. It's been over 30 years, can the townsfolk finally go out at night? More importantly, does Alfonso Gomez-Rejon give us a decent movie?
Time to get back in our DeLorean and venture to the past in this special 70's versus battle. These movies have everything that defined the 70's: sex.....drugs.....and the antichrist? Up on the chopping block, we got Wes Craven's debut film with "The Last House on the Left." Was he always the meta satirist that we know him to be? And along side that, we have "The Omen," directed by Richard Donner. Can the guy who gave us "The Goonies" and "Superman" also deliver us a good hell spawn movie? Two well known films, but at the end of the day, one has to be declared the victor. Which shall it be?
Join us as we take a trip back to 1939 and view two completely different films in The Human Monster and Wizard of Oz, one film we really enjoyed and the other not so much, you can guess which film or you can listen and see how we rank these two films from the past.
