ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
bluleaf The original Evil Dead was a masterpiece by Sam Raimi.. this was not. I could barely survive the first fifteen minutes of this film. Absolutely terrible. They should just leave some movies alone and respect the original versions. Glad I didn't finish watching this.
oanamiruna-64527 Well , this movie is really something . A friend told me to watch evil dead and i watched this one , not knowing that this was a remake from an older movie . I've gotta say , this movie shocked me the first time i watched it . Usually , movies don't make me sick . but this one managed to do it . Its not as filled with horror as it is with gore , but it works . What annoyed me though , was that the guy (Eric) reads aloud something from the Book of the dead even if it's written in the book not to read anything aloud , bad decision but it's a horror movie , so yeah . From the burned-alive girl in the prologue , Olivia slicing half of her face , Mia slicing her tongue in two by liking a knife , Natalie slincing her infected arm to Mia ripping of her arm from under the car and then slicing the demon in half with a chainsaw , this movie really impressed me , shocked me , made me sick and made me feel the pain of the characters . It's different from the original movie , but i still like it . I would recommend this movie but only to people with a strong stomach .
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
CinemaClown 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.
