    Are these still comedy horror films or have they gone straight gore porn and jump scares like everything else?

      Well then they would have gone full circle, because the first one wasn’t intended to be funny.

        Good point I suppose, I do forget that, but I think it works well and sets it apart from other franchises, or did.

      Rise certainly wasn’t as comedic as Army of Darkness but it wasn’t super dark and serious either. I’d say that the closest comparison recently is M3GAN

        I dunno, I thought Naked Gun would suck without Leslie Nielsen but I think Liam Neeson did a fantastic job, not the same but good. I wouldn’t mind seeing Elijah Wood give it a go.
