His comparison to punk rock is exactly what I love about The Evil Dead.
Exactly!!!
My thoughts exactly. What a great metaphor.
It's such a great way to put it.
Damn, that is a good metaphor because it makes me want to give punk music another try. I grew up loving these kind of scrappy B movies, but never got the appeal of punk music. Thanks to Bill Hader, maybe it's starting to make sense to me now...
The Misfits.
many of their music videos were shot the same way on purpose, with some of their later videos being a hommage to Evil Dead and others.
thats all i gotta say.
It took me a minute to realize he wasn't just repeating the same comments about it being a bunch of 19-20 year olds in the woods over and over and that these are clips from different interviews lol.
Welcome to the channel!
Thats incredible. I'm glad you figured out it was different interviews.
He was repeating them, just in different interviews.
@@DIOBrando-ij2bp that's what MHVideo said he realized.
@@iwantmytvnow The sounds Bill Hader is making is the same sounds about the same thing, but he's making those sounds at different times! This person who made this video compiled those different sounds into one long series of sounds about The Evil Dead movie!
I loved the idea that the cabin's exterior was a one room shack, and the interior was almost endless with rooms.
Hader would be a great fit to lead an evil dead movie
One of his next 3 projects is a horror movie in which he says he wants to star. :)
@@Research0digo I hope it's evil dead! how epic would it be if he was the next Ash Williams. WHO DO WE PITCH THIS TO????
First time watching The Evil Dead as a kid was exactly like discovering hard rock, punk and metal back in the day. Only other movie that had the same impact on me personally was the original Hellraiser and Romero's Dead trilogy. Good times. Also, Re-Animator and From Beyond are awesome.
Evil dead 2 was my all time fav movie when I was a kid in the late 80s and my local movie rental only had one copy and someone had rented it and never brought it back and my dad took me to every rental store in a 50 mile radius to find a copy. Love ya dad.
Hader acting like he didn’t like the tree scene proves his range as an artist
He was definitely using the method.
@@chrsAdd01Mr. Cousineau would be proud..?
Even Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell hate that scene. They regret making that scene.
@@entorri Yeah, that scene is embarrassing. I'm glad Bill hates it.
Boring stuff, guys.
I was a teenager when this movie was a sensation on VHS. It was such a hit, it was reported as being "the most stolen VHS tape" from video stores. EVERYONE talked about the "tree r@pe" scene. Girls in the hallway before school on Monday who saw the video over the weekend would say: "OH! and a b!tch gets wrecked by the woods!!! It's totally bitchin!" My older sister saw the movie first at a friends house and she told me I HAD to see THE EVIL DEAD and told me a girl gets r@ped by the woods!" It was the unbelievable scene EVERYONE who saw it talked about. We also knew how ridiculous it was. I knew one girl who loved horror and she wouldn't shut-up about how cool that scene was. There making an over-the-top scene in a movie from the 80's a much bigger thing than it actually is.
Guillermo del Toro also described it as "punk."
2:20 "Crazy buck's gone blood simple!" ~Jake, Evil Dead 2
I just saw Blood Simple on the big screen at the Hollywood theater, he's absolutely right about the sound effects
evil dead 2 is like a parody of this masterpiece
Evil dead 2 is “fun”
And evil dead is just straight horror. Kinda like Texas chainsaw massacre 1 and 2.
And ED2 is so much more enjoyable as a result.
listening to Bill Hader love on Evil Dead and punk rock has made my day
As a movie nerd listening to Bill Hadar talk about movies is like a massage for my brain lol
I already mentioned that I was a teenager when this was a massive hit on VHS.
Do you know what scene bothered people the most? The scene when the girl gets her ankle violently stabbed by a pencil. Because we felt it! The visual, the sound, the woman screeming, it just felt the most real out of all of it.
did anyone catch what age they were, what camera they were using and what genre of music it reminded you of the most?
I think he said it reminded him of Breakcore.
I know right? It seems to be made out of a whole bunch of different interviews with bits where he mentions Evil Dead cut out all all mashed up together in any order, making no sense. Like some AI produced crap.
Raimi was 22 and Cambell was I think the oldest at 23. Because like it Reeaally wasn't them just going to the woods to have fun and there was a lot into it. Well they propably tought they were going to have fun.. 😅
Because first Raimi shot like concept piece of the woods, but it didn't help other than getting production advice. He eventually did get 100k raised from outside. Cambell asked family and everywhere while Raimi tried to get more money and it was some over 300k in the end that they scraped from where-ever.
Actors had to leave because it wasn't supposed to take 3months so they would go home and come back with say a differend haircut. Only Cambell and Raimi were shooting together even after everyone else left.. which is understandable for blowing up 300k is kinda nervewracking thru just a problem after problem. Like for example it got so cold in those months that the cameras etc. stopped working and would need to be heated by the fire. The prosthetics were super uncomfortable and for example the trying to follow in which stage the wardrobe was in the movie was just hard especially with the cold and it not being Super organized. Then again the real frustrations actually did help the movie performance wise 😅
It's a bunch of interviews spliced together you dunce.
I have probably seen Evil Dead 1 and 2 over fifty times each. Had a VHS someone had given me with both on it and I would just throw it in every night after everyone went to bed. I'd watch it over and over while creating D&D content for the group I was DM for. Made my Ravenloft campaign interesting.
First time I watched this was on a Black & White TV. Saw it later in color. SOooooo much better in b/w. The "cheap" prosthetics (bad/weird colors) were subdued and didnt look like cheap makeup.
Never thought the make up looked cheap tbh
no.
It’s funny how either Bruce Cambell is either a childhood icon or unknown completely, depending on who you ask.
Also on the cinematography - they are somehow ahead of the curve with that handheld sort of cinematography - it sorta makes it seem more contemporary - the visual language of this film is quite modern in a lot of interesting ways. The wide-angle / fisheye lens shots and the claustrophobic almost cinema verité style works in its favor, whereas other films of that era were "filmy" in the ways they were shot and edited (locked-down tripod shots, medium-shots, etc) while here we get the handheld sort of POV stuff, we get pans and interesting angles, closeups... it's the benefit of being amateurs and sorta "innovating" by feelings things out.
It’s a cosmic gumbo. Seems to move to the beat of jazz.
Saw it with a good friend in high school. For some reason we were the only people hysterically laughing during the movie. Thought it was hilarious
It’s funny how Bill Hader seems to feel this need to point out how there’s some parts of movies that are objectionable in some way in these interviews. He does it with A Clockwork Orange too. Like who the hell actually prefaces a viewing of The Evil Dead with a warning other than a warning about how cool the movie they’re about to watch is?
Although I don’t get the impression Raimi dislikes the tree scene or that it was someone else idea. Hell, he did the tree scene again in his remake sequel Evil Dead 2. But there is some interview where Raimi says something about how maybe he went too far at the time because his intention wasn’t to offend. Now in Army of Darkness, and this is cut from the original release, (its in the official bootleg DVD release) some producer did want a scene of a skeleton leading around some naked ladies on a chain.
Scientologist Hollywood now requires them all to add these disclaimers.
This is a great analysis for someone aspiring to create their own movie or show. Thank you!
The tree scene was great and very disturbing.
Bill Hader talking Evil Dead two great things that i really enjoy.
Just came here to say I love your channel. Always wanted to make movies but I'm old now and have responsibilities but your content inspires me to think about creating my own channel about cinema that I love. Keep it up!
I saw movies like The Evil Dead, Ghostbusters, Big Trouble In Little China in the theater back in the day. They were sooooo much fun. Then Army of Darkness came out in the 1990s and for some reason they didn't market as a sequel to The Evil Dead. I didn't realize it was Evil Dead 3 until I was watching the move in the theater. So much fun. I didn't have that kind of fun again for a long time until Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool.
I saw the pic and thought at first," Bill hader was gonna star in an Evil Dead movie." I was like ,Phuck Yeah! Dammit..
Evil Dead was punk rock AF! He's not wrong!
The tree scene is not "terrible", it's a terrible and traumatic thing that makes it wickedly iconic.
Like listening to punk rock for the first time. Dam.
I knew I noticed some of the camera work and blocking in Barry (particularly the episodes directed by Hader) I just couldn’t put my finger on it. It’s kind of fun to see it come full circle. To see him using such unique techniques.
Bill knows his shit - he's like Fred Armisen - they are BIG FANS of that sorta cult stuff and he WAS initially trying to be a filmmaker before getting into comedy and acting... so I know he knows his stuff, and what he's saying here is precisely why I like that first EVIL DEAD so much!
I would watch a scene by scene remake of Evil Dead but with Bill Hader as Stefan
the card scene impacted me soooo much - i saw it on betamax after it came out, i was about 10... i was into it - felt grimey and weird. but that scene scared me to my core. I'd never seen or heard anything like that.
Watching these videos is like we were meant to be friends. I love Evil Dead. I'm ok Bill.
Are you sure you're okay?
@@Flaynustheflayedanus4815 We're the same me and you.
Right... Sam Raimi "regretted" the tree scene so much, that he put it in the sequel! 😂
Yeah there is no tree rape in Evil Dead II. A woman gets dragged across the forest by one but definitely no rape.
Harder is wrong on them "just making it up" The real story is that Raimi and the gang (usually made short comedy films) made a short horror movie that played at colleges. It was a hit so they decided to get funding for a full length and more polished horror movie. They did what they could on the small budget. The small budget forced them to get creative, doing creative camera work that no one else have done up to this point. The movie was groundbreaking for such low budget.
You basically said what he said. They were young, inexperienced, and so they DID make a lot of their techniques up. To their benefit though, obviously.
Pink floyd and King Crimson to punk is a a great comparison, especially because Robert Fripp married someone who released some punk music.
The scene that sticks with me is when the chick gets stabbed in the ankle by the pencil
exactly that is way more effective than the rest of the film
Bill Hader as Ash William I'd be down to see it
The first movie was awesome, but remember laughing so hard when he goes crazy and the animals on the wall, “I’m like… this is a horror movie, right?” 😂 I pt still gets me, love this movie, but it felt comedic to me. Idk. They would use things and I would laugh, it was good watching it younger, but you see things now or as a teenager. I’m like this is gold. Love this movie and still watch them love these.
Touched by Nature
To me the comparison with punk is what horror and exploitation movies were all about, we have all become so conditioned as to what a movie is suppose to be that many of us can guess what happens beat for beat because not only do we know the cliches but we instinctively know that movies made for mainstream audiences aren't going to cross that line or do anything that could make the audience uncomfortable. I don't know about you but if I'm watching a horror movie and I don't feel a sense of unease or discomfort then its not doing its job properly but I think there should always be movies that have a duty just like punk music to push boundaries and remind us that not everything we watch has to adhere to a certain set of rules. Art in its most raw and uncompromised form is suppose to challenge you.
Love that movie and all the Ash movies afters
I love the Evil Dead franchise, but not this 1st movie.
I dunno - Hader keeps insinuating that it's like possible for any young group of people to go out and make a classic horror film if they just go do it and be 'punk rock' enough. Something tells me he hasn't seen very much zero-budget SOV stuff.
Tbh, Bill Hader would make a wonderful Ash Williams if they ever decided on bringing the character back.
Bill Hader would make an amazing ash if they ever HAD to recast. i repeat HAD. no one can replace Bruce Campbell
A triumph of independent guerilla filmmaking. It has a moody atmosphere that kind of dissipated with the following entries, even though I love them too.
Bill Hader - The next Ash Williams? I'd see it.
6:35 if it wasn't for the tree rape scene and the worm rape scene in *Galaxy of Terror,* we probably wouldn't have *Urotsukidoji* and the rest of Hentai.
That’s a ….. _complicated_ legacy to have.
"We"?
It’d probably still happen. There were Japanese books like Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei already.
Are they considering Bill as the next Ash ? To be honest Bill isn’t the choice I would choose . Different / well known actors are way more capable of pulling this off . ( # punk rock 😂)
Bill Hader talking about film makes me wish I was friends with Bill Hader in Highschool, not Bill Hader now, famous successful Bill Hader, I wish my film nerd Highschool self was friends with film nerd Highschool Bill Hader. Had any of my highschool friends were like him, my life may have gone a completey different trajectory. Dont get me wrong, I have a great life but I probably would have pursued a career in production.
Bill Hader on James Bond 007?
Hey guys, do you think he thought the Evil Dead was like Punk Rock?? Just wondering.
Full interview?
bill hader rocks
And rolls.
I agree and disagree with Hader about the tree rape scene. I don't think it fits in tonally. But, I think it fits in with the absurdity of everything that's happening in the movie. It's unfortunate, that everyone focuses on that one scene when Evil Dead gets brought up in a conversation.
The only way the "tree r@pe" scene could be made today is if the victim was a straight, white, male and the trees were singing "bad blood" from Tay Tay Swift....which, I'm not gonna lie, that would be terrifying!😱
oh please, the tree scene is not even that bad, we thought it was goofy when we were kids (pretty much comedic) there's nothing graphic about it... it had no affect on the film whatsoever, we never even talked about it, we just watched the rest of the film. y'all are too brittle.
My friends and I didn't think it was goofy when we watched it as kids....
You seem like you don't have much empathy
Bill Hader would make a great Ash imo. 🤷😅.
So you take ten interviews where Hader talks about Evil Dead and throw them together? Lame
lol. Bill hader is somehow a film critic. A bad one.
The man clearly has good taste as evidenced by his stellar work on Barry.
hes no Coby Got thats for sure!
@@regularnormal agreed.
