Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

contact-86263 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.

dakjets It seems that the reviews to this one are either top-notch or completely bane. I gave it a shot. But unfortunately, this is just incredibly bad. First, the storyline is not credible. Why iwould these young people travel together? It does not show that they like each other either in the first place. And then they'll be together on a hut in the wasteland. Strange. The beginning of the film made me think this is crap. When the scary things begins to happen, they characters act so stupid that it is almost comical. Not logical in a thin, thin story that makes no sense. A better script would probably have been useful. No, this is far from good enough for me. I turned it off after about one hour...

cs-92047 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!!!

Pjtaylor-96-138044 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
