Unlikable Characters

Here's a note for writers, your audience doesn't want to spend time with characters they hate. Just like real life, people don't enjoy spending time with people they despise. If you write unpleasant characters with no redeeming, complex, or interesting characteristics, your audience won't want to watch them.This movie heavily rips off the three original Evil Dead (1, 2, and Army) movies. Yet no character is anywhere near as interesting or entertaining to watch as Bruce Campbell playing Ash. Characters are the heart and soul of entertainment. It's who the audience empathizes with and gets invested in.I don't want to spend time with characters I can't stand. Spending money to not be entertained by them is insulting. This trend has inundated most forms of entertainment lately, and it needs to stop.

Cattivo Morto...

This movie's title and cover was more than sufficient to make me stop and take notice. In fact, with this movie being a horror movie that I had neither heard about before, nor obviously ever watched, of course I opted to sit down and check it out. And since I virtually had no idea what I was in for, then I suppose writer and director Mattia Sarao had every opportunity to impress me.Wait, where have I seen this exact story before? Hmmmm... Writer Mattia Sarao just shamelessly and blatantly ripped off the 1981 horror classic "Evil Dead" movie, or was it an homage? I know not. But you have to think an Italian variation of "Evil Dead" without the interesting character, without the witty banter, and without the legendary Bruce Campbell.Given my rather limited exposure to Italian cinema, then I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The acting performances in the movie were fair. So the four young adults were supposed to be Americans? Yeah, those thick Italian accents fooled no one. The character gallery in the movie was bland, and the characters had the appeal of cardboard cut-outs, and the actors and actresses stood a snowball's chance in Hell here, as they didn't have much of anything to work with in terms of dialogue, character development, though the script was okay - if you can get past this being a blatant "Evil Dead" rip-off.The special effects in the movie were actually rather good, which helped to keep the movie afloat."The Book of the Dead" is certainly a watchable movie. And if you haven't already seen the "Evil Dead" movie, then you're in for a treat here.My rating of writer and director Mattia Sarao's 2024 "The Book of the Dead" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Book of the Dead: Great if you like films where nothing happens

PlotIn 1988, Bailey, Quinn, Keith, and Mac, a group of young students, choose to visit an old villa in the countryside to complete a school research project. Little do they realize that hidden within the mansion lies an ancient demonic text.CastCreator Mattia Sarao's debut as a director and writer. The cast, really shockingly poor.VerdictI don't know why but I was quite excited for Book of the Dead, I mean yes the name is a bit generic but I liked the retro art style and a couple of screenshots I'd seen made me hopeful. I really really need to stop doing that? You know, having hope and expectations.The plot is basically Evil Dead, no I mean seriously it's Evil Dead. Folks go to secluded place, find the Necronomicon, deal with possession and demons etc. It even rips off a classic scene from Army of Darkness (1992) and not in a brief homage way either.So we have death and demons, so how in the blue hell is the movie so alarmingly boring. I found myself fighting back the urge to close my eyes and drift into something better, counting sheep would have been more entertaining so perhaps I shouldn't have fought it.It's no exaggeration to say that very little really happens here, I'd hit the halfway mark and I realized that so far it was nothing more than poor character development, exposition of a non-existent plot and literally nothing else.Book of the Dead is the creation of someone with no originality so they just rehashed (And blatantly ripped off) better films and by someone with zero talent behind the camera as a horror movie featuring this kind of content shouldn't be boring!RantsYou know what this reminded me of? The internet series Horrorverse (2023) which was an attempt at a cinematic universe made up of short films and movies that brought together multiple horror universes and characters such as Halloween, Hellraiser, Friday 13th, Escape from New York, Marvel, Evil Dead and more and was truly unconditionally abysmal. It was an attempt at being a love letter to horror fans but wound up being an embarrassing slap in their collective faces. Book of the Dead is the same, it tries to pay homage to Evil Dead but does it so badly it's rather insulting to the fans and creators.The GoodLove the cover artThe BadDreadful cast Horrendous writing and direction Unforgivably boring.
