Evil Dead Rise (2023)

In Evil Dead Rise, the gore is extreme, the effects are solid, and the Deadites are freakier and scarier than they’ve been in a while.

EZMM 2023 Day 9.2: The Last of Us S01E09 “Look for the Light”

This was the shortest episode of The Last of Us, clocking in at 43 minutes, but it was the most streamlined narrative yet.

EZMM 2023 Day 9.1: Evil – In the Time of Heroes (2009)

Evil – In the Time of Heroes gets special credit for bringing in Billy Zane to basically play a Jedi.

EZMM 2023 Day 8.2: The Last of Us S01E08 “When We Are in Need”

The best part of this episode of The Last of Us is the fact that Ellie saves Joel and herself in the end.

EZMM 2023 Day 8.1: Don’t Kill Me (2021)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 10, 2023 0 2

Don’t Kill Me is a pretty uneven attempt to graft a number of well-established vampire story tropes onto the zombie genre that kind of works enough to sustain some viewer interest.

EZMM 2023 Day 7.2: The Last of Us S01E07 “Left Behind”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 9, 2023 0

Nobody gets a happy ending in The Last of Us, from what we’ve seen.

EZMM 2023 Day 7.1: Grave Robbers (1989)

Paul Brian McCoy

Clocking in at a tight 88 minutes, Grave Robbers doesn’t overstay its welcome and is surprisingly entertaining.

EZMM 2023 Day 6.2: The Last of Us S01E06 “Kin”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 8, 2023 0

With every episode that passes, I’m more and more convinced that this should have been structured like a traditional series with more than nine episodes.

EZMM 2023 Day 6.1: Valley of the Dead (2020)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 8, 2023 0

Valley of the Dead is straight forward, the characters are diverse and entertaining, and the zombies are creepy, but not too gory.

EZMM 2023 Day 5.2: The Last of Us S01E05 “Endure and Survive”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 7, 2023 0

The Last of Us, so far, isn’t bad, but it’s not breaking any new ground in the genre.

EZMM 2023 Day 5.1: #Alive (2020)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 7, 2023 0 4

#Alive is a fantastic-looking film, with a very tight plot and quick pace.

EZMM 2023 Day 4.2: The Last of Us S01E04 “Please Hold to My Hand”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 6, 2023 0

This episode of The Last of US suffers from over-familiarity.

EZMM 2023 Day 4.1: Yummy (2019)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 6, 2023 0 1

Yummy is definitely worth a watch, but the high points are the gory comedic bits.

EZMM 2023 Day 3.2: The Last of Us S01E03 “Long, Long Time”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 5, 2023 0

“Long, Long Time” is probably going to be a highlight of The Last of Us, despite working with unknown characters and sidestepping the main concept of the show.

EZMM 2023 Day 3.1: Zombie for Sale (2019)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 5, 2023 0

Zombie for Sale manages to achieve the extremely difficult accomplishment of being funny, touching, gross, and romantic all at the same time.

EZMM 2023 Day 2.2: The Last of Us S01E02 “Infected”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 4, 2023 0

I thought this episode was a step up from the premiere, if only because we get to go out and explore the world of The Last of Us.

EZMM 2023 Day 2.1: The Sadness (2021)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 4, 2023 0 2

The Sadness is one of the most extreme, disturbing films to reach a mainstream audience in memory.

EZMM 2023 Day 1.2: The Last of Us S01E01 “When You’re Lost in the Darkness”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 3, 2023 0

Right off the bat, let me make it clear that I have never played the The Last of Us video games and avoided as many spoilers as possible.

EZMM 2023 Day 1.1: I Am a Hero (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 3, 2023 0 3

I Am a Hero tells the story of an extremely average man, slaving away as an assistant background illustrator for a successful ongoing manga, who manages to become a hero when the zombie apocalypse takes place.
