Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Absolutely Fantastic

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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.

Briefly watched the original movie and it frustrated me with how fake it was (yes I know it was over 30 years ago) I read a couple of reviews on this film before watching it and I must say it was thoroughly enjoyable and had plenty of action, gore and an excellent ending!

I'm not going to take this movie as a remake. I don't want to compare to the other Evil Dead film because to me this is a completely different film. This movie was awesome!!!! It was very scary and extremely gory but not in a way that made me want to barf. The acting in my opinion was very good and Mia made me just want to hide behind my pillow because her character was terrifying in my opinion. Even though it has the same ideas as the original Evil Dead, it was completely different and in a good way. I recommend to anyone who likes scary and gory horror ovies to watch this one because it is perfect!!!

Although I'm usually against remakes, in this case I fully agree with the project. Movie tells essentially the same story as the original, but with more serious approach. While "The Evil Dead" (1981) was shallow, stupid, cheap and over-the-top to ridiculousness, "Evil Dead" (2013) is serious horror movie. The story is better developed, with more convincing details, and has a much better dramatization and characterization than the original (not to say that there's none in the original flick). It begins as a drama, introduces us to characters, builds suspense and eerie atmosphere, and only after twenty minutes slowly moves with the introduction of horror elements in the story. Actors are completely unknown to me, which, if they are good, is a great addition for watching horror movie. The acting and directing are good, music is atmospheric, and the effects are, although they copy original and do not use CGI, much more credible and effective. Maybe I'm a sissy, but I had to pause few times to relax. The film retains many of the original scenes, but the roles are scrambled. Good example is cult scene in which Ash cuts off his hand with chainsaw. In remake, demon takes over hand of one of the girls and she also removes it, but unlike the original story, here the cutting does not help and soon the demon takes over and she dies. This change in the story is quite fine, but one thing I can not forgive - they replaced Ash's chainsaw with small kitchen electric cutter... wtf, really?! The end is completely changed, but it's great. All in all, a top horror, a recommendation to all fans of the genre.8/10
