R Rating Movie Reviews

️ R Rating Podcast – Evil Dead & Evil Dead II Review & Discussion In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading deep into the woods with Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987) — two cult horror classics that redefined the genre and launched the legendary career of Bruce Campbell and director Sam Raimi. What started as a low-budget cabin-in-the-woods nightmare became one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time, filled with gore, slapstick insanity, and unforgettable one-liners. We’ll break down how Evil Dead turned simple scares into raw terror through practical effects and atmosphere — and how Evil Dead II flipped the formula with over-the-top comedy, insane camera work, and Raimi’s signature chaotic energy. Is Evil Dead II a remake, a sequel, or something in between? And how do these two movies hold up today compared to modern horror? If you love practical effects, cult horror, and ‘80s filmmaking, this episode is a must-listen. Expect a full discussion on Ash Williams’ evolution, the Necronomicon, and the creative genius that made Sam Raimi a household name — plus our honest verdict on which Evil Dead reigns supreme.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re tackling the Highlander franchise — a cult saga that spans movies, TV shows, and even spin-offs. Starting with Highlander (1986), starring Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and the legendary Sean Connery, the franchise gave us the immortal Connor MacLeod and the unforgettable line: “There can be only one.” From there, the series grew into a mix of sequels, a long-running TV show, and a fandom that refuses to let it die. We’ll break down the original film, Highlander II, Highlander III, Endgame, The Source, and the Highlander TV series, looking at what worked, what didn’t, and why the franchise still has such a dedicated following despite its ups and downs. Is Highlander a cult classic that deserves more recognition, or a series that lost its way after the first film? If you’re a fan of fantasy, action-adventure, sword fights, immortals, and cult 80s/90s franchises, this is the deep dive for you. Expect honest takes, nostalgia, and plenty of love for the franchise that gave us immortals battling across centuries.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into the Mad Max franchise — one of the most influential post-apocalyptic sagas in movie history. Starting with Mad Max (1979), directed by George Miller and starring a young Mel Gibson, the series exploded into a violent, stylish vision of a collapsing world where survival is everything. From the gritty revenge tale of the first film, to the explosive action of The Road Warrior (1981), the eccentric spectacle of Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and the modern masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), we’ll cover it all. We’ll break down the themes, action sequences, characters, world-building, and legacy of the franchise, looking at how George Miller shaped the entire post-apocalyptic action genre. Which film still stands tall as the best? How did Fury Road bring new life to the series after decades? And why does Mad Max remain one of cinema’s most unique and enduring franchises? If you’re a fan of action movies, dystopian worlds, car chases, practical effects, and cinematic chaos, this episode is a must-listen.
