Robert Kojder reviews the first episode of Ash vs. Evil Dead… It’s hard to define specifically what propelled the Evil Dead franchise from a trilogy of unknown, unrated films banned in multiple areas of the world to the embodiment of cult classic series; there isn’t just one.

Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Review – Always Two There Are
Chris Cooper reviews Star Wars Rebels – ‘Always Two There Are’… Rather fittingly for the time of year, Always Two There Are is a very creepy and atmospheric episode.
