Drag me out of the Cinema

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2013)

I'm a huge fan of the Evil Dead movies so I was looking forward to seeing this, albeit some time after release. I sat through the first 50 minutes and then gave up. This movie was slow and boring. It starts off with a fairly clichéd opening scene/back story but I don't mind a bit of cliché with my popcorn, not all movies are original after all. As the halfway mark of the movie came and went I began to wonder why I was still watching it - even if this movie had the greatest ending of all time, I was going to be too comatose to see it. I don't mind flashbacks, and I don't mind cheesy plots, or faux scares but I DO mind a movie that seems to say 'wait just wait, this is going to be really good' and then never delivers.
