I loved this movie.

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2013)

Let me begin by saying that the original Evil Dead is my favorite movie of all time so this review will in fact be biased. If you came into this movie expecting it to be as good as the original then you were going to be displeased. It wasn't the original, it wasn't trying to be the original, and it wasn't trying to beat the original. Please get that through your thick skulls. The new one was partially produced by Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, that means any and everything put into this movie had to go by them. Trust me, Bruce wouldn't let a movie be made that he felt wasn't in the best interest for the franchise. A common complaint is the amount of gore that is in this movie. If you didn't want to see gore then DO NOT watch a horror movie. Yes it is a lot of gore and blood but honestly it fits into the movie nicely. This "rebirth" is about as good as a remake is going to get, so quit whining. If you don't like it or want to watch it then don't. I absolutely loved the gore and the effects. I loved the camera work, I loved the set/cabin, I loved the props, I loved all of the references to the original. I loved almost everything about this movie(notice I said 'almost'). The only things that I didn't like was the fact that Olivia just died(or maybe disappeared I really don't know) after getting beat by a piece of toilet. She should have gotten back up, at least according to the known ways of killing a deadite. The other thing that bothered me was that Mia was just completely free from the demon after being buried. It just didn't add up. Anyways, if you're a true fan of the original series I suggest watching this. It is a very fun and nicely done film.
