Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Thanks for the memories!

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

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.

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

A straight horror vibe, some extreme cringe-inducing gore and a surprise final act do enough to differentiate this from the original but, while it may be the better film overall, it can't top the raw charm of the cult classic. 'Evil Dead (2013)' is a commendable effort, though. It's certainly one of the better remakes I've seen. The film captures what it is that Raimi and company would have gone for if they had the budget and experience to do so back in 1981, achieving that over-the-top but seemingly 'realistic' gore-fest feel that makes it not for the squeamish. It's probably one of the goriest films I've seen, with powerful practical effects grounding everything in reality and capturing the spirit of the original. Maybe it is just nostalgia or its odd charm that makes 'The Evil Dead (1981)' seem slightly better than this one, because by all counts this is the superior attempt. It honestly does everything the first tried to but does it better. I like it just as much, yet would rather watch Raimi's picture. That's no comment on the quality of this title, though, rather just the lasting, palpable yet intangible allure of that 'video-nasty' that everyone loved to hate and now just loves to love. 7/10

Drenched in gallons of blood & jam-packed with nods to its source of inspiration, this remake, sequel & soft-reboot of The Evil Dead scores high in violence & gore, but still falls short of leaving a memorable impression, thanks to its cliche-ridden narrative, uninspiring script, cringeworthy dialogues & cardboard characters.
