HE HAS RISEN: CARPEASTER 1.0 DAY 14 OF 13

I was ready for this to be a complete cringefest but other than some choice one-liners and a pigeon-stroking Pinhead this was kind of a badass installment with some NIGHTBREED-style monster birthing scenes. The kills are effectively brutal here and seem to want to go further.

The framing scenes are the weirdest (read worst) part of this as the sci-fi wraparound could've been its own movie, the 18th century France story could have been its own movie, and the modern-day shit could definitely have been its own movie. But there's a silver lining in each of these (except for the sci-fi part really) with a brilliantly wigged Adam Scott with a performance that rivals Paul Rudd in HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS.
