Evil Dead Schmevil Schmed

The Raimi brothers kick ass!

Suspense in horror is a long-forgotten technique that is used brilliantly here. Remember when she is walking to her car, and she hears the cough of the old woman, and then she sees the car parked directly across from her own, and when she goes to start it the old woman's handkerchief floats out, and the camera pans a full 180 tracking the movement of the handkerchief as it floats around the car, and it's not until it is out of sight that we realize the camera has stopped on the old woman in the backseat? Remember that?!?! That was SO awesome!

The whole movie is like that. It is not just atmospheric gore with the occasional scare that will make you jump. This is real edge-of-your-seat suspense with an original story and comedy, great scott, comedy! There ...

Almost as good as the Evil Dead Trilogy.

Just finished watching this and what can I say but WOW.. This movie was amazing. And to get 3 1/2 stars from me is a task! As a huge fan of the Evil Dead trilogy and Sam Raimi, I was obviously very excited about seeing this film! I was not at all disappointed! Part of me was slightly worried when I heard about the film because part of me thought "After all these years doing Spiderman can Raimi pull it off again?" After watching the answer is simply yes. The film blends genuine shocks and scares with an enjoyable plot and Raimi's trademark black humour. You will jump out of your seat and then laugh within the same scene. Lohman's character in the film is also a very likable heroine, a refreshing change to the usual teens thrown in the film JUST to get killed. You felt for her character and...

Thank You Mr. Sam Raimi!

Well done, you just gave faith to American Horror; there might still be hope! For the last ( long ) couple of years only Asian Horror movies deserve my attention, and with time passing by even the medium/poor ones are masterpieces when compared to a long list of US horror movies ( i just had a flashback of house of wax for a while here argh!). I couldn't help myself thinking about the evil dead trilogy with some of the magnificent scenes on this movie (especially the tissue fight!).
Mr Sam Reimi you just brought Horror back! Hope this is a new beginning... (and all other directors out there... please make room and stay way...)

The rise of original

I keep trying to examine this movie to find something wrong and ot's just not happening for me this moie could be the most perfect original horror film in years ,it's not your run of the mill Saw or remake that come out way to often (except the saw films I love them) it's Good horror Awsome jump out your seat moments they don't even need much blood they go with making you cringe in other ways and you can walk away from this film being happy not ripped off an any way,And! it proves to me that Sam Rami still has it and how great he really still is
