What is /tv/'s opinion on Sam Raimi?
I was rewatching his Spiderman trilogy the other day and boy did he love placing the Stars and Stripes whenever Spiderman makes a dramatic entrance or exit, accompanied by Elfman's sweet score.

I liked in his spider-man movies how he could make them very campy but also blend a lot of realism, comic book stuff, and horror into it. I still think a lot about the hospital scene with doc ock and how horrifying it was to see that as a kid, but in the same movie there were also really memorable and funny background characters that added a lot and felt genuine.

Drag Me to Hell is underrated. He's actually super based as a director

For me one of the scary scenes was Spidey going into that burning building and sees a wailing, scared figure wrapped in a shawl and he goes to help it then it throws off the shawl and screams and it's the Green Goblin.
Like GG wasn't particularly scary looking but that jump scare was effective for a preteen
Evil Dead II is kino.

>stars and stripes everywhere
well the movie came out right after 911
also see: the people throwing garbage and rocks at goblin and yelling, "AYY HE'S A NEW YAWKAAA!!"
I wish he would go back to horror. Or make a movie at all. Did he just give up after Oz?

He directed the Ash Vs Evil Dead pilot

That last little fight sequence in episode 1 in Ash's mobile home was so fucking incredible. Basically anything an Evil Dead fan could hope for. And that perfectly timed "Groovy". Brought a tear to my eye.

you might as well ask peter jackson to go back to horror
