Best known for his roles as Joxer the Mighty in "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and Lt. Tim O'Neill in "seaQuest Dsv," Ted Raimi has been around. And being a veteran of Evil Dead, Candayman and other horror films, he knows what's unsettling for the audience. And he's using this knowledge to scare the bejesus out of the rest of us.
Teaming up with Break.com, Raimi is working on a new horror series entitled Morbid Minutes, which is inspired by classic anthologies like "Night Gallery" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."

Not only does it feature a woman as lead, but the woman in case (Hypatia of Alexandria played effectively by Rachel Weisz) was also, allegedly, quite ahead of her times and had no need of a man in her life. Think of her as a character of Sex and the Old City.
But the most divisive point in the movie might be Amenábar's portrayal of early Christians as the wreckers of reason. If you think Almodóvar has pent up Christian anger, wait 'til you see the...
