The same is true for camera shake and lens flares in found footage or realist films. The vast majority of Hollywood productions are shot and edited in a way that removes all idea that what is happening on screen is a fiction and has been created for the camera, it tries to completely separate the audience from the process of film making. However the use of shaky cam or super 8 footage allows the audience to recognise the presence of the camera, and despite the illusion being broken, the audience is now aware that what is taking place is being viewed though a lens, it feels much more real. Wonderful video, Grace!
I've never heard that quote from Brian Eno, but yeah, wow, spot on. Loved your analysis, and just wanted to add my own personal take as well. What first began my love and adoration for cinema was the complete and total immersion I felt when watching anything from The Wizard of Oz to Saving Private Ryan. Something that so successfully created its imagery that I never once questioned its authenticity. The older I got, and the more films I consumed, the more I wanted to learn how these things were actually done. That peeling back of the curtain only created another level of appreciation for all of the work that goes into everything we don't see. I think what makes campy horror effects so fun is because they feel homemade, watching it you can get a sense of the sort of ideas at play. It's like peeking behind the curtain, but right out in the open. The illusion "works" but we know what we're seeing isn't real, and there's something about that homegrown vibe that makes me feel the passion that went into what I'm seeing. There's an undeniable charm to it, because instead of just being mystified by the incredible effects, we're actually taken out of the immersive experience enough to notice the fake blood or prosthetics, it's like a lamen's crash course into filmmaking, where the wires are poking through a bit, and I think that creates a fun experience for an audience.
The Brian Eno quote is one that's stuck with me for a long time now. Glad it's resonating with so many people. :) And thanks for adding your thoughts! The charm of the homemade aesthetic is definitely a big part of the appeal.
I don't know why, but seeing that split second clip from early Marble Hornets made me so happy. I got into that series when they were a few months into the second season and it was such a unique horror experience to wait for updates on the progress and wellbeing of fictional characters in real time. It was especially worrying when they had that awful storm in Alabama when they were supposed to be filming. So fans were simultaneously worried for the creators, and the characters when the update took several weeks to come out. I just found your channel through Pop Culture Detective and I have to say I'm enjoying all of your videos!!
I love the topics you choose for your video essays. It always amazes me how you manage to examine such serious themes through media and do it in such a beautiful way. Great analysis!
This channel it's criminally underrated, you deserve far more recognition for this AMAZING essays. I've been consuming video essays in yt for years now, and NEVER have seen something this impeccable.
Low budget horror films just feel more "human made" then the look of Hollywood remakes. This is why I'll always love Evil Dead, Troma movies, early Peter Jackson films, Lucio Fulci films and any other good low budget horror films.
Just stumbled upon this channel - lots of good stuff here but this entry is especially baller. Love how you tie in all the insights about nostalgia, artifice, and imperfection as a hallmark of humanity! Plus this video also functions as a 10-minute supercut of completely unhinged practical FX, so yeah, blessings upon ye for that.
Yeeeeeah BAAABYYY. This video is groovy. I hope the channel keeps the good work. I have seen some evil dead video essays lately and this is one of the best ones.
I'm reminded of when Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid talks about how walking in the middle of the road will get you squished. The Evil Dead knows what it is and streaks across the football field with its heart hanging out for everyone to see. Like that analogy, The Evil Dead is crude and grotesque all the way. There was no middling. You bring up The Thing, briefly. It begins incredibly morosely - one minute and 15 seconds of opening titles accompanied by a crawling, somber, and brooding synth which dies down before the UFO comes onto the screen and crashes into the Earth. In the 21st century, no matter what you hear about The Thing's reputation as one of the greatest horror films ever made, nothing can prepare a first time viewer for that first minute of utter solemnity. It grounds the film immediately in a tone, and it keeps that tone up for the entire film. Those are the strengths of these films, as well as great works everywhere; sincerity in effort and no middling. The latter, audiences are receptive to because it keeps us in the confines of the film, music, show, what have you. The former being something to admire, relate to, and perhaps it can inspire the viewer or listener; "another human actually created this? Maybe I should pick up a film camera/guitar/piano." That's where the rejection of the perfect comes in, it's inhuman, or inauthentic in the case of that Spotify scandal. No relatable struggles. This all can potentially segue into a discussion about The Cabin In The Woods. It's a celebration of all things horror, but it also indirectly asks the questions: "What actually scares audiences anymore?" and "Are audiences content with watching the same horror tropes over and over?" It does not answer these, not to the film's fault. "[...]with extreme exaggerations of the familiar becoming uncannily 'other.' Divorced from the limitations of realism, the potential for surprise and the unfamiliar creates greater anxiety." This was a really interesting point. I don't have anything to add, I just wanted to highlight it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I completely agree about The Thing, and I hadn't thought about a connection to Cabin In The Woods but that's a great point.
Thank you for your videos! Perhaps at a later date a video on "Cabin." For now, anything you got coming is sure to provide luminary food for thought. Cheers for sleekly edited videos and tight scripts.
This was awesome as always, Grace! I was excited when I saw you were tackling Evil Dead, but you went in so many unexpected way, as I know you love to do. I was just discussing a quote from Roger Ebert the other day in which he talked about Gamera and how as we get older, we first think we’re too mature for such things we enjoyed when we were younger, but eventually return to the flawed yet vibrant films over seemingly mature yet boring ones. I think you drove deep into that point here and I loved how you broke that down across so many types of media. Amazing work!
To be honest I am always deeply surprised when I hear someone criticize the Evil Dead for being badly made, and dare I say crude. To be honest I think that special effects (and camera work for that matter) are astounding considering what Raimi and his crew had to work with, and the film's tiny budget. I really love your videos, and their content. I have learned so many new prospective on some of the films and literature I have loved over the years that I eagerly look forward to your further efforts. Please keep up the amazing work!
The Brian Eno quote reminds of that genious moment in David Fincher's 'Fight Club' when Tyler speaks to the camera and the reel starts to jump: the truth is too powerful for the celuloid. Great video as usual. Thanx, Grace!
Just wanted to say that I discovered your channel a couple of days ago, and I admire your work very much. I'm awestruck by your inquisitive, brilliant thinking, the accuracy of your essays and the obvious love you have for fiction. And I was very happy to see an essay about my favorite horror franchise ! Stay groovy !
I swear whenever I get interested, or start thinking about, a movie, film, book, or (in one case) game, there is a video about it here; and I always come away thinking about an aspect of it that I haven't thought about before. It's great!
Another absolutely excellent video. I am so lucky to have found your channel! Your voice is so engaging and your editing spot on, not to even begin to say that your ideas and writing are flawless! You always make me think and reevauluate things I took for granted, and that's what an essayist should do! Wonderful! Thank you!
Damn this was good. It's just made me realise that my favourite films are ones filled with flaws and imperfections which is probably part of the reason I like them.
There's so many angles you could approach that one from. One of the things I enjoy most about your channel is that you aren't afraid to cover niche subjects, and that you find unique aspects of each work to analyze. I like that you prioritize things that interest you personally, rather than whatever gets the most views (ie, Marvel and Star Wars). So if you had an idea for an MH video, I know it would be fascinating. But either way, keep doing what you're doing.
I think a lot of what you say about sincerity (etc.) is perfect for describing the "so bad it's good" series of films and when things are charming and enjoyable and when they aren't. I think there needs to be a sincere attempt and a certain level of ability there to make things work. Sometimes CGI or old effects are just lazy and can be laughed at, people in cheap gorilla costumes or legs strapped to a car pertaining to be a giant spider. However, even though the effects in Evil Dead aren't in any way convincing, they're well made and obviously have a lot of passion and time put into them. I think this is what leads to the aesthetic being appealing or it having a style of its own. This extends to many "bad films" in that if they don't seem like the person making it was really trying, it just becomes boring or insulting. Inversely, many movies made that are meant to be homages to these films don't work because they're trying too hard or being too obvious. Garth Marenghi's Dark Place is one of the few examples of the group absolutely nailing it while purposely setting out to make something "bad". Likewise there, they're being 100% sincere and completely believe in what they're making. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say with this rambling sort of post, but it's nice to hear my thoughts put into words by someone else here. Also, thanks for that Brian Eno quote.
Part of The Evil Dead's early popularity was due to it being forbidden. It was on the 'video nasty' list which meant that watching it was a genuinely transgressive act. It was forbidden and, given its reputation and subject matter, it lent it an almost legendary status. Being able to say you'd seen the film at the secondary boy's school I attended gave you real bragging rights, with many boys lying to achieve some kind of status. It was the same way with other films on the proscribed list but Evil Dead was supposed to be the most frightening film ever made!
Wonderful! I wish there was a name for what you're talking about, but then a label would take away its mystery and power. Descend it from the spiritual to the material, so to speak. I think some good examples of what you're talking about are early John Waters films and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (taking their cues from 50s and 60s B-movies). In those, the carnivalesque "chaos and grotesquery" comes from the disobedience of gendered bodies and middle-class propriety. Contemporary examples that try to capture this are the Sharknado movies, which strive for that "crude and unrealistic" effect. All of these movies have that "aesthetic of failure," which was not intended but is still appreciated in cult movies from Plan 9 from Outer Space to The Room. It reminds me of Freud's uncanny, being both familiar and not, in how the viewer knows what the ideal is and is both appalled and attracted to its shortcoming. The Brian Eno quote is fascinating. It's as if the essence of a medium is also found in its deficiency, since by subverting it it is also reaffirmed. In other words there is no Ideal/Border/Self without the Other, and experiencing the Other overwhelm the Ideal/Border/Self is the appeal of horror movies, camp, and the carnivalesque, requiring that "necessary detachment" from said Ideal to enjoy. I do often feel that lack of comfort with the sleek, "too perfect" technology around us. It's as though we also know that ideals are not achievable, that perfection is not unachievable, so anything that approximates it is also both appalling and attractive. Even the high quality and elegant editing of this video fills me with irrational distrust lol. Your delivery, your analysis, are so devoid of mistakes. I don't mean to offend you, but it's akin to the uncanniness of robots. It's as close to the "sleek, aesthetic perfection" of a UA-cam commentary as you can hope for, and yet its subject matter is otherness! You inspire big questions and raise points that threaten to tear our understanding of the world apart, in turn overwhelming the Ideal/Border/Self. You remind me of a Guillermo del Toro or Alan Moore work in how seamlessly you transcend genre and incorporate other media into your discussion. It's certainly a unique and uncanny experience watching your videos. Beautiful work!
Thank you very much! John Waters films are a great example! And Sharknado is the perfect modern example (wish I'd thought of that one when making the video, although I don't know if I could have crammed in another reference, haha). That's so interesting that you find my videos fall into 'uncannily slick' territory, because I've always thought the opposite and that's partly what inspired this video! I can definitely think of a fair few video essayists that evoke that response in me though. The individuals who can rival Vox in their editing. I accept it from Vox because their a company, but when it's one person that kind of perfection can be strangely off-putting. I've always thought my videos looked pretty cobbled together, rather than professional - but then I guess we're all more aware of our own flaws.
Thanks for the encouragement! It's something I'm thinking about now but it still seems like a big step. It's definitely something I'm giving serious consideration to though.
Goodness, I love this channel! The films and topics that you analyze are superbly done! And the channel name is very spot on... I have a fledgling UA-cam channel, where I have a similar style, but examine things from a socio-political and/or pop culture point of view. If you have some time, I'd love your feedback and commentary on some of my work...thanks a bunch, continue to crank out these educational powerhouses!
Not due to only my obscure view on acting or rather over acting and my uncanny love of it. If done right. But evil dead without or with any other ash but Bruce Campbell would only be evil. And thats only half a movie
That Brian Eno quote was so resonant I had to stop the video and go for a walk! Wonderful stuff!!
It's probably one of my favourite quotes ever!
I couldn't even bring myself to cut it down, even though it's so long.
I love when that shit happens.
The same is true for camera shake and lens flares in found footage or realist films.

My favorite video so far! Fantastic job as always, hail to the king, baby!
Thank you!

Thanks! :)
can't believe I slept on watching such a great video on my fav fav favorite movie!
Gonna share this with as many people as I can!!
Fantastic video!
Thank you so much! :D
your videos are always full of quality - hope you keep making them
Thank you!

Thank you very much! I'm glad the video about your favourite horror franchise didn't disappoint!
Your channel is an absolute diamond in the rough. As soon as I have more disposable income, I'm coming for your Patreon.
Thank you so much! ❤
Your references to Susan Sontag, Brian Eno, and Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace tell me you are my kind of person. 😁 I’m an instant subscriber.
I swear whenever I get interested, or start thinking about, a movie, film, book, or (in one case) game, there is a video about it here; and I always come away thinking about an aspect of it that I haven't thought about before. It's great!
Thank you! I'm very glad to hear that. :)
I just adore this video. You clearly put so much time, thought and research into your video essays - I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much! :D
Another absolutely excellent video. I am so lucky to have found your channel! Your voice is so engaging and your editing spot on, not to even begin to say that your ideas and writing are flawless! You always make me think and reevauluate things I took for granted, and that's what an essayist should do! Wonderful!

Thank you so much!
That was awesome. It’s always a treat to watch your videos man, and I have a feeling I’m gonna be coming back to this one a lot.
Thank you very much!
Who knew you could gleam so much from scrappy gore effects! Great video
Thank you!
Good stuff and it's nice to see someone focus more on the first movie
Thanks! The first film isn't given enough love.
Hell yes! This is a great topic and the attraction to the imperfect and human is what drove me to love Goodtime last year in the cinema!
Damn this was good. It's just made me realise that my favourite films are ones filled with flaws and imperfections which is probably part of the reason I like them.
Thank you! :)
That brief Marble Hornets reference at 6:19 feels like a tease for the *amazing* video that I still think you could make on that series.
Haha, no plans right now but ideas are a thing of whimsy.
There's so many angles you could approach that one from. One of the things I enjoy most about your channel is that you aren't afraid to cover niche subjects, and that you find unique aspects of each work to analyze.

Thank you very much! It's certainly much more likely that I'll cover MH than either Marvel or Star Wars, whose chances I put at
Your channel is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for another fantastic video.
Thank you very much!
Great video! Really got me thinking about the unrefined things in various mediums and whether they have returned or will return.
Thank you!

Yeah, it's really difficult to pull off making something intentionally bad. Dark Place is a real gem!
This is a great video. Thank you.

your insight is awesome, as always
Thank you!
I loved this!
This was amazing.now if only someone would analyze the 2013 reboot and why it actually is a good film and worthy of being an Evil Dead movie
Wonderful! I wish there was a name for what you're talking about, but then a label would take away its mystery and power. Descend it from the spiritual to the material, so to speak. I think some good examples of what you're talking about are early John Waters films and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (taking their cues from 50s and 60s B-movies).

Okay maybe I’ll come back to this one when I’m not eating dinner 😅😅
Haha, sorry. There should be a 'not safe for dinner' tag.
groovy indeed
:D
Patreon, please!
Thanks for the encouragement!
It's something I'm thinking about now but it still seems like a big step. It's definitely something I'm giving serious consideration to though.
imo
nicely done

🌸💕
Goodness, I love this channel! The films and topics that you analyze are superbly done! And the channel name is very spot on...
I have a fledgling UA-cam channel, where I have a similar style, but examine things from a socio-political and/or pop culture point of view. If you have some time, I'd love your feedback and commentary on some of my work...thanks a bunch, continue to crank out these educational powerhouses!
Thanks!
Not due to only my obscure view on acting or rather over acting and my uncanny love of it. If done right. But evil dead without or with any other ash but Bruce Campbell would only be evil. And thats only half a movie
i never liked evil dead, idk why people seemed to like it
