Raimi has still got the skills and he made one of the best freakin horror films I have seen in years! It was everything I hoped it would be and more.” … “For a PG-13 movie it was pretty hardcore and in your face disgusting.

Well hello Mister Fancypants - Evil Dead 4 news

Greatest actor in the World, Bruce Campbell, has been talking about the possibility of an Evil Dead 4 to MTV.

When asked by them about Sam Raimi's comment at the recent Comic Con that he would be up for making a fourth movie, Bruce said, “When he’s ready, I’m ready.”

However, he then followed it up with, “Nobody knows anything,” he said. “I mean if we were really smart [though], we’d go back to a handheld movie and shoot it in 16mm and find someplace in the middle of nowhere. And have a crew of 10 people. If we were smart.”

I really hope this pulls off as the Evil Dead movies are pure genius and so funny. What do you think?
