    The Cinematic Schematic is back to pit vampires against some of the most gnarly demons in cinema as we re-open the Book of the Dead, the Necronomicon, in our double feature review of Renfield and Evil Dead Rise.

    Rejoining us to discuss each uniquely hellish experience is the deadCenter Film Festival Features Programmer, Sunrise Tippeconnie, and Static Media’s Jo Light.

    We start the show with a quick reaction to Ari Aster’s Beau Is Afraid before our icebreaker question. Nicolas Cage and Bruce Campbell are both icons of their own demographics of cinephiles. What makes each actor exceptionally memorable and which filmography do you prefer? 

    We then jump into our spoiler-free reviews and verdicts on Renfield and Evil Dead Rise.

    Deadites or vampires? Which flavor of horror blood bath should you choose for your next trip to the movie theater? Tune into our full review discussion.
