You won't see me holding my breath for evil dead 4 anytime soon.Christ man..that was quite an update Looks like alot of films coming out..hopefully a few are decent enough to waste the money on. Blows me away they are releasing Beyond re-animator on sci-fi first, also kind of shocking reading of another Unnamable movie..I suspect it may live up to its name but time will tell I suppose.
