    • Watched the movie – wow, over the top, can kind of see why they think it's worthwhile. Something deeply chaotic about it, over and above other horror movies. Take A Quiet Place or even The Thing – there's something deadly about, but it obeys rules, the humans have tactics against it. They may fail, but there's some sort of path to success.
    • In Evil Dead, by contrast, there are no rules. The magic formula is tripped and suddenly the dead rise but so does the furniture, and the trees outside, and your own hand. The dead don't have any goals or logic or fixed behaviors, they are just out to fuck up the humans as much as possible, and vice versa. They are pure malevolence.
