Trailer
Why watch this film?
Sam Raimi is one of the most interesting and innovative directors in cinema. After establishing a franchise from "Evil Dead: The Evil Dead", the third part manages to be even more surprising. This time, Ash (Bruce Cambell) is transported to the year 1300, embarking on a true medieval adventure against the living dead. There is less gore than the previous films, it is true, but it remains an interesting and entertaining film, using its technical and budget limitations as an advantage.

Our suggestions
Bruce Campbell reprises his role from the Evil Dead series as Ash, the handsome, shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed department store clerk from S-Mart's housewares division. Demonic forces time warp him-and his '73 Oldsmobile-into England's Dark Ages, where he romances a beauty and faces legions of undead beasts, including a ghastly army of skeletons. Can Ash save the living from the dead, rescue his girlfriend and get back to his own time?

Spider-Man 2
The direct sequel to 'Spider-Man', directed by Sam Raimi and starring Tobey Maguire as the titular character. Just like the previous installment, this movie draws heavily from the source material - in this case, "Amazing Spider-Man" Issue #50 with the story arc "Spider-Man No More". The biggest addition here is the villain: Doctor Octopus, played by Alfred Molina, who has multiple layers and a motivation that engages the audience.
Spider-Man
Along with 'Blade' and 'X-Men', the first 'Spider-Man' movie was responsible for starting the superhero craze in theaters. The director responsible for this landmark was Sam Raimi, who brings his aesthetics (recognized in films such as 'Darkman: Face of Vengeance' and 'Crazy Night') to the feature film. The influence of the hero's comic books is also perceptible in various moments, with scenes that practically reproduce passages from comics such as 'Spectacular Spider-Man' #2 and 'Amazing Spider-Man' #122 - although there are some changes and adaptations. The protagonist is played by Tobey Maguire, but the highlight is the villain Norman Osborn, played by Willem Dafoe, besides J. Jonah Jameson by J.K. Simmons. The result is a fun origin film that still entertains the whole family today.
Darkman
After his acclaimed independent production 'Evil Dead', but long before sparking the superhero movie fever with 'Spider-Man', Sam Raimi tried to get the rights to adapt 'Batman' without success. Result: a superhero of his own creation, in a movie that gave Liam Neeson his first role as an action hero. Although it's a product of its time whose age is already notorious, 'Darkman' today enjoys a "cult movie" status, as one of the first and most colorful superhero movies of its time, which even surpasses in wit most spectacular productions of the 2000s and 2010s subgenres.
The Evil Dead
A low budget independent film, recorded among friends, which became a cult phenomenon and launched the career of director Sam Raimi. One of the great merits of the feature is its black humor and innovative camera work, which would later mark the career of the filmmaker and become his trademark.
Spider-Man 3
The third and final part of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. However, the production was marked by conflicts between the director and Avi Arad, who was the producer. All this is evident in the final result: an excess of villains, lack of focus in the script and a Peter Parker who, besides not evolving as a character, brings us some embarrassing scenes. Still, 'Spider-Man 3' contributes with good action scenes, all with great direction.
The Quick and the Dead
Sam Raimi (director of the 'Spider-Man' trilogy and 'The Evil Dead') builds in 'The Quick and the Dead' a spaghetti western endowed with visual mannerisms, style and dynamism. Incorporating his own style, he subverts a very worn out genre and puts it in new clothing, thus delivering a fun and unique western. The tone that permeates the film is a light suspense, almost cartoonish, which has fun with its resolutions and plays with the expectations of the viewer. It is also interesting to highlight the great cast that makes up the film, which includes young Leonardo DiCaprio and Sharon Stone at the beginning of their careers.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The second solo story of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' expands and expands the events seen not only in 'Avengers: Infinity War', 'Avengers: Endgame' and, mainly, 'Spider-Man: Far From Home', but also from the series 'WandaVision', 'Loki' and 'What If...? ', all three from Disney +. In the plot, the titular hero finds America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a girl with the ability to travel through the multiverse who is pursued by strange (and powerful) monsters. From there, they embark on an adventure through the most different parallel realities of the Marvel heroes. All this wrapped in a feature film that screams Sam Raimi, famous director of the first 'Spider-Man' trilogy and horror films like 'Evil Dead'. Aesthetics, photography, framing and creative choices have the clear signature of the filmmaker, making this one of the best directed films of the MCU. It is the script that is lacking, mainly in relation to the clichés and common places involving the main villain, but all this is balanced by Raimi's touch, Danny Elfman's great soundtrack ('Batman' and 'Spider-Man') and a lot, a lot of fan service. It doesn't quite become a pure amusement park attraction like 'Spider-Man: Far From Home', but the merit of this film is really in knowing how to entertain the fans already catechized by the House of Ideas.
Horror
Skinamarink
Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party. They play well worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, after a while it becomes clear that something is watching over them.
Medusa
By day, Mari and her friends broadcast their spiritual devotion through pastel pinks and catchy evangelical songs about purity and perfection, and by night they form a vigilante girl gang, prowling the streets in search of sinners who have deviated from the rightful path.
