Wow, people should really know what they're talking about before the post a review!

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2014)

First of all, I have to say that I really liked this movie. Even after watching it multiple times, I still find myself needing 2 stare @ the screen when it's on. I also have to say that I'm a huge fan of Bruce Campbell & the Evil Dead movies. I own all three (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, & Army of Darkness... Which the latter has been 1 of my fave movies since I was little). Anyway, I'm VERY picky with movies & this is not even close to being a bad movie!
For all the people saying that it's not Evil Dead for a number of reasons, know what you're b!+ching about! I've seen so many claim to be fans of the franchise but then they are rambling about how this remake has no humor. I say to you, go back and watch the original. It didn't have blatant humor in it... Parts may have been funny cuz Bruce's overacting or cuz of cheesy effects, but it was meant to be serious. That's what this new 1 was trying to recreate... The humor didn't come into Evil Dead until the 2nd movie.
For the people who say its nothing like the original cuz they don't like the plot, what do u want? For them to remake it word for word and action for action... What would be the point of that?! I know some say there is no plot, but I don't get that... Every movie has a plot! Just cuz u don't understand it or see it, doesn't mean it's not there or that it isn't good. There may be some holes and some stupid, unrealistic decisions made... But isn't that what makes a horror movie a horror movie? If they didn't do the stupid things the movie would only be 5 minutes long! Oh, look... There's a girl being chased by a murderer and she's running out the door instead of up the stairs and she gets away to the police and he gets arrested... The end! Sound good? I don't think so...
And the people complaining about no Ash... Get over it! Jane Levy did an awesome job in her role of Mia and is a great new 'Ash'. Besides you never know what the ending leads up to... Maybe there will be another where while Mia is trying to leave the cabin, she gets sucked into another place like the end of Evil Dead 2? Maybe she'll meet up with the real Ash and they'll kick demon ass together! And as far as the other characters, the only 1 I didn't like was Olivia, but that doesn't mean her acting was bad. I think some people just don't like certain characters in movies and just decide its cuz of bad acting.
This movie does have tons of blood, gore, and violence, but I will agree it's not scary. No movie ever actually scares me and I can tell that this movie wasn't intended to be that scary. It's suspenseful, grotesque, exciting, and made me cringe. That's what I like in a horror movie and I think that's what they wanted it to be cuz that how the original was.
What makes people think that they know everything about movies and how they should be. You try making what u think is a good horror flick and see what people say about it. People will always have negative things to say about everything... But to post to millions of people that the director, Bruce, and Sam Raimi are stupid cuz of this movie that you clearly don't get is rude, obnoxious, disrespectful, and just plain idiotic!
Again, know what you're talking about before you run your mouth on the World Wide Web... Cuz when you don't, you just look stupid!
This movie is great, if you can handle possession, gore, tons of blood, and truly like the original Evil Dead... This should be a good choice if you keep your mind open to how it's interpreted to fit the 21st century. The only reason it got a 9 instead of 10 is cuz it could have been a tiny bit better. Maybe finding the tapes from the original (which do play during the credits) or if the necrocomicon had been more like the original it would have got a 10. But I don't really see it as a remake... More of a distant sequel where it's the same cabin from the original and it's years later with different people.
