Love it for the Horror, but missed some original Evil Dead Charm

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2013)

I enjoyed this film for what it is. It's horror with some gore mixed in. There are also just enough tense scenes to make you jump out of your seat. If you were a huge fan of originals, you may miss some of that extra 80s cheese that made the film somewhat.. charming.
The extra bonus is that you get some explanations in this film that were missing from the original films that makes them all tie together pretty well.
The plot is not intricate, but the characters set the mood for the carnage very well. As another reviewer pointed out,the cinematography and graphics are done very well, and there aren't many CGI cop-outs. So kudos goes out to the graphics arts/special effects/make up teams.
Still, if you loved the originals, you may be disappointed in the hopes that you're going to see Bruce Campbell running around telling jokes and fighting possessed humans. However, if you're looking for a gory, horror film, this one is a good one to catch. I happen to enjoy both.
