Firstly, thanks for all the feedback on the opening movie. I'm pretty sure we're going with Evil Dead II. The movie night is going to be for 'fans' of the genre and I personally think fans would prefer this one. Also, because of the Three Stooges element I believe it makes the movie a lot more rewatchable. Frankly, horror people are probably tiring of TCM, if that isn't blasphemous.

In terms of CH, I think you're being incredibly harsh on a landmark, innovative horror movie that knows very much where it's moral compass is pointed. Here are it's big pros;

- It delivered the original found footage storyline thus inspiring countless others i.e. BWP
- It inspired a new generous of horror directors like Eli Roth, hence the Ruggero Deodato cameo in Hostel II.
- Some of the post production marketing/promoting was so effective it landed the director in jail.
- It served to diminish censorship and desensitise people.
- Finally, given the production year, it was politically the right time to send out an anti colonial/empire message, if you were inclined so to do!
