The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

We seem to be in a time where the remakes of remakes will be remade, even films like Cabin Fever aren't remaining sacred, the obligatory remake follows.Evil Dead now is a remake with a bit of bite, of course it has every possible cliche under the sun ticked off. We have the obligatory character coming out of the ground with long stringy hair, we have the trapdoor, the book of death, and of course the vomiting. Despite all the blatant lack of any sort of imagination Evil Dead somehow manages to capture the imagination, and provide ninety minutes of quite thrilling entertainment.The scares are plentiful, and the acting is such that you believe in the pain, physical and mental, it really is quite well made. Effective use of special effects and music.Not a film I'd look to watch on a regular basis, but it's somehow rather refreshing. 7/10Please enough with the remakes though.

I watched the original, "The Evil Dead", not long after it came out on video in the early 80s. It was low budget and, while the story was pretty basic, at least it made sense, thus:No-one had a choice. All events were unavoidable once the book had been read out loud.The "hero", Ash, isn't injured by an entry wound at all - he just gets lots of blood and guts dumped on him and hit by a poker. Hence he is never possessed.Nobody makes any really (and I mean really) stupid decisions.Nobody who is possessed can be retrieved.In this version all four of those rules are broken, most of them multiple times.This film goes for over-the-top gore, but in so doing it just loses any fright power it might have had. The more understated original is far more frightening.I'm giving it 3 stars - two more than it deserves - because at least they tried to make the ending somewhat different to the original.

2013's Evil Dead gets a lot of hate, but is it really all that deserved? Well, I would say it's more of a yes and no thing that only one or the other.I wasn't that big of a fan of the original Evil Dead, but I can't deny the profound effect it had on the genre. Fans of the original are going to notice a lot of similarities, but Evil Dead 2013 still has enough differences that I would say it's worth watching at least to see the changes that were made.I think the biggest thing Evil Dead 2013 has going for it is how much fan-service there is with all the references to the older Evil Dead movies and the absolutely ridiculous amounts of gore. I can see why that would turn a lot of people off, but the effects do look really good, and the self aware over-the-top presentation makes it redundant to criticize since just as many people will love it for the same reason so many people will hate it.The biggest problem with Evil Dead 2013 is the abundance of horror movie cliches, and twists that can be seen coming from a mile away. Part of this is because this is an Evil Dead film, but most movie squeals (especially horror) will inevitably fall into that cycle.I think the trailer really does sum up what the movie is like, and even if you haven't seen the original Evil Dead, if you like the trailer then you'll probably like the movie.

Five friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. The Evil Dead Remake is more serious and disgusting than the original Trilogy but it's missing Bruce Campbell's over the top perfomance and the brilliant camp of it's previous installments. The acting is terrible and the horror element even tho it's not meant to be hilarious it's not that scary either and some scenes are pure nostalgic like the one with the chainsaw or the ending as a whole. Plus the characters are stupid especially the blonde dude who reads the book and let's the curse free also the whole plot arc with Mia's character and her drug addiction was so boring. Overall except the Bruce Campbell cameo? There isn't lots of good things to be said and personally? Stick to the Ash v.s Evil Dead Series which is much better. (0/10)
