Does anyone with no childhood nostalgia for them care much for the Friday movies? I saw them as an adult and thought they were aggressively ok. I didn't love or hate any of them.

Dawn vs Evil Dead 2: judged solely on their worthiness as sequels, I'd have to vote Evil Dead 2. As important as Dawn is to the Dead franchise, when I think of Evil Dead, I think of Evil Dead 2 first and foremost. Evil Dead 2013 vs Dawn 2004: I liked both of these well enough. I didn't love either. Both work as their own thing and not imitations of the original. The first half hour of Dawn was great, but it lost steam in the second half. I'd say Evil Dead wins this for being more consistently good and because it feels like a bigger gamble to make this with such a completely different tone to the originals when that goofy fun tone was what the franchise was known for. Confession: I haven't seen Night 1990. I might try and do that before the 7th, especially if anyone thinks it's a vote switcher. Best Gore: Day of the Dead wins this for Romero's Dead franchise. I could practically smell the guts sloop out of the zombies on Frankenstein's table. Judging this on highest highs rather than consistency, because the lovely cg effects of Diary and Survival really bring the average down. Best Franchise: Romero's Dead The first three entries are so strong yet varied, and the benchmark by which all other zombie movies are judged.

I'd rank it higher than Diary, which is a low, low bar admittedly. Timeless Appeal posted:
I Zombie also has them take on memories and personalities of the brains they eat, which I don't recall seeing done before.
