Had a great time watching this; The Evil Dead series is one that I've been meaning to watch for a while now, only having previous exposure to the remake. The gore was wacky, the camera work was absurd, and the performances were campy in the best way possible. This was a nice watch for Friday the 13th and I hope to see the next two soon.

There were a few other people in the theater, but this one guy got up in the middle and never came back, and there was a couple that also left about halfway through. This was essentially 100 minutes of Nick Cave and the gang doing their thing through performance, with very select moments of documentary-style insight. If you love Nick Cave, this is the movie for you because it really accentuates the beauty of his music.

I haven't seen something so striking and thoughtful in a while. I'm gonna try to not write a super long review for this, but I'm pretty certain this will turn into one of my favorites.
