    In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all. We break down everything from Ripley’s controversial clone storyline, to the bio-engineered Xenomorphs, to the film’s tonal shift under director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

    R Rating Ep14 - Alien 3 (1992)

    In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them. We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look. Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out. Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.

    R Rating Ep11 - Evil Dead Rise (2023)

    In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the blood-soaked madness of Evil Dead Rise (2023) — the latest entry in Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin, this brutal, claustrophobic take on the Evil Dead mythos trades the cabin for a Los Angeles high-rise but keeps all the gore, chaos, and demonic terror fans expect. We talk about Alyssa Sutherland’s terrifying performance as a possessed mother, the film’s shocking practical effects, and how it stacks up against the classics — Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and the 2013 remake. Expect plenty of laughs, deep horror analysis, and unfiltered opinions as we discuss one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

    ️ 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.
