This is a well directed remake. It manages to be reminiscent of the original Evil Dead, while cutting out it's own path. And 'cutting' is what it does best. There is copious amounts of blood/gore present and all of it looks painful. Most all of the violence is sick, dirty, wince-inducing stuff. Despite the initial plot and characters being completely cliche riddled fare, there are a handful of surprises. The experience was enjoyable, because of all the instant crowd reaction. The film perfectly strides the line of being fun and crazy, while maintaining a tense and grueling atmosphere. |

A rare remake that's not only crafted with great care, but elevates the original material and subverts expectations. A disorienting, overwhelming, and absolutely relentless horror success. And, oh yes, this is indeed not for a the faint of heart. You'll feel like you'll need to shower off your blood splattered body once it's over. I can't go into much without spoiling it, and it's best going into knowing as little as possible. Some purists of the original may be disappointed, but I found it to be superior. And how often can you say that about a horror remake? |

A surprisingly good remake |
|
This is the best horror remake I’ve seen in years. In a world were every half-decent horror film from the last several decades is getting a remake and/or reboot, it was inevitable that they would get around to my personal favorite Horror/comedy saga, The Evil Dead.
I was pleasantly surprised by this flick. It did a decent job of capturing some of the originals spirit while still being its own creation. It pay’s homage to the original, but doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It’s really about as good an Evil Dead remake as one could hope for.
I’ve read reviews saying that this was a movie made less for the typical horror going teen and more for the hardcore Evil Dead fan, but in reality it’s somewhere in-between. There are plenty of nods to the original, and it’s a lot of fun seeing n... |

Review: Evil Dead |
|
Evil Dead delivers! The Evil Dead remake that we all dreaded when first announced sky rockets at full blast and never dies out. It's vicious, very gory, and tons of fun, throwing you into the middle of the living hell surrounding these youngsters, as they get brutalized in some of the most insane, blood-soaked ways. Some people may be unable to stomach the graphic violence, but the fans of the original trilogy (like me) will appreciate it. Of all the factors that make the original films so good, what really made the fans really love them so much is the lovable Bruce Campbell and the brilliant comedy factor, which this film is obviously devoid of. But fear not - once evil enters our heroine and all hell breaks loose, you'll forgive the film and enjoy the wild ride.
For the most part, I... |

Evil Dead (2013) R A group of friends want to get away and decide to go to a remote cabin in the woods. There they find a mysterious book called, The Naturom Demono, and, despite warnings written on the book, they decide to read it anyway. It’s a mistake that could cost them their lives. This is the bloodiest film I have seen in a long time, maybe the bloodiest ever. I won’t be surprised to hear people passing out or throwing up due to the ultra-violence. I liked the setup of the film, but because it's is such a “Gorefest," it starts to lose its punch near the end. I wanted the film to be scarier, and I also wanted just a little more humor. Also, it doesn’t seem to have the catch phrases that were so prevalent in the original film. My Rating Bargain Matinee |

I'm guessing it will easily take the top spot from G.I. Joe.
G.I. Joe was beaten by the Croods on Monday, which tells me that it's Box Office will be very front loaded.
The only two wide release movies coming out next week are Evil Dead and Jurassic Park 3D. the 3D re-releases have been getting less and less popular, as 3D tickets do the same and remakes of classic Horror flicks almost always do well (even in the face of horrible reviews) so there is no doubt in my mind that it will take number one over the weekend. |

Now that this film is going to be upon us in just a few short days - anyone venture a guess as how it will fare at the box office? Will it be able to top Mama (currently sitting at $71.58 million) as the top horror film of 2013?
I have serious doubts - but at least it looks like relative newcomer Fede Alvarez has some originality left (despite the fact this is a remake). I'm still not sold enough to rush out to see it in theaters, but intrigued enough I will stream it when it comes out. |

Another remake. How refreshing, as Wayne would say "NOT!" First Oldboy now this. Isn't there any creative juices left or quality directors to produce original films? If it's just disgusting and gory, this will never work since the original really had a good plot and overall premise. |

The only thing this new red band trailer tells us is that the movie will be very disgusting and gory. I'm still not convinced that it will be a good film. The fact is, it's a remake and that's the reason why I still hold my skepticism. If it gets positive reviews, I may check it out. Not excited to see it at the moment. |

The red band trailer makes me a feel a lot better about the prospects of this film. I called blasphemy on this remake as well but maybe, just maybe, this one has potential to - not top the original - but at least be a worthy tribute. |
