Was the cult real or fake?What was the movie meant as an allegory for, black tar heroin?Why did the main character make so many retarded decisions?Do you think Ash Williams could have beaten the cult(I think he'd gg them in a minute or two).Why didn't he stab the demon with his knife?Was Melinda in on it?Who wasn't in on it?What other movies fit this world gaslights protagonist genre?The main examples I can think of are the Truman Show, the Matrix, and Dark City.
