I think you missed the point, mate.

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2013)

Before actually making the effort to see this installment of the Evil Dead franchise in theaters, I strongly suggest you watch The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness first! The fact that this movie shares a name with the original does NOT make it a remake. It is NOT a remake, but a "rebirth", as one of the film's trailers suggests. It's based on a completely different set of characters than from the first film - note that Shiloh Fernandez's character is named David, and not ASH. Though the group of friends in this film bear striking resemblance to the original kids in the cabin, it's leading up to something MUCH bigger - something, that from my research, will be explained in Army of Darkness: Part II, which finally has the green light. Many other fans I've talked to about THIS particular Evil Dead film all came to the same conclusion right off the bat - This isn't a remake, but a sequel. A flash forward. Please keep all of these things in mind as you watch the film.
