Movie Review: It Lives Inside (2018)

A young gardener (Rett Terrell) and his family move into a new house and discover a box containing ashes and an ancient book…I’m sure this has zero to do with the ol’ timey prospectors that were murdered by one of their own who went absolutely kill crazy after swallowing some smoke in the cold open. Oh wait, it sure as shit does, and of course the bad luck (including what has to be the world’s shittiest broken leg gag in cinematic history after our prunin’ protagonist takes a lackadaisical tumble from a ladder) and supernatural shenanigans (vomiting blood, voices on the baby monitor, et. al.) begin plaguing our now housebound hero, who of course begins to experience an attitude change of the shitty variety, faster than you can say Amityville. See: Our hero hobble around his ramshackle home ad nauseam! See: The amazing acting of the next door neighbor that is so wooden that termites may devour him at any

Bruce Campbell Talks Life After Ash And Much More In An Interview

Bruce Campbell, that’s a name every horror fan knows. The writer/actor/director/producer has been involved in so many iconic films and series. One of the jewels in his crown is The Evil Dead franchise in which he plays the unforgettable character Ashley “Ash” Williams. His “Ash vs Evil Dead” series premiered back in 2015 on Starz, giving us three seasons of Ash, along with his deadite fighting sidekicks Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) and Pablo (Ray Santiago) as well as the sometimes evil Ruby (Lucy Lawless). Fans were heartbroken to learn earlier this year that “Ash vs Evil Dead” wouldn’t return for a fourth season. Soon Bruce announced that Ash had been permanently retired, leaving fans to wonder what was next for the one-of-a-kind, suave, badass.
