Summary: Once more unto Raimi for the third and concluding episode of our director retrospective. When last we met the floodgates had been thrown open for us to gush about our love of all things Evil Dead but this chapter has a few more lows to mix in with the successes. No stone is left unturned as we cover horror and non-horror output alike beginning with an eclectic list of films including The Quick and the Dead (1995), A Simple Plan (1998), For Love of the Game (1999) and The Gift (2000). And then came Spiderman. It was a rare convergence of studio blockbuster mega-project and just the right filmmaker to bring a beloved character to life with the all important (and often missing), element...fun! Three films, $ 2.5 Billion worldwide box-office revenue and a decade of Raimi's career. Was it worth it? We talk about about it. An excellent capper to the whole affair came in 2009's Drag Me To Hell where the gushing recommences. A fun schlock corner (Link), some more words from MisterD and a reminder that this week is the deadline to enter a great contest to win one of several books up for grabs by sending in your book review for our upcoming reconvening of the Horroretc Book Club.
