Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2013)

First my wife: She hate the amount of gore in this movie and she thought there should have been more scares but she did come to terms that it did deliver pure evil and stay true to Evil Dead. 6/10
My Review: Loved it(Majority)! 10/10 I'm a big Evil Dead fan since the original.
Helpful review:
CONS: Okay to start off, it had a lot of gore and scenes that would really traumatized you. The scares and suspense could had more and less gore. I think that would made the movie close to a 9/10 instead of 8/10 but they still kept it to its true origins: PURE HORROR. The director wasn't great with his direction with this movie especially since he has done anything this big and I thought they should have given this task to someone that is more experiences and also true to the meaning of PURE HORROR. For example; The camera was upside down for a good minute after the intro and saw no point in the cinematography. Plus kept changing scenes from a birds-eye view. Not a good start. It would been better if they if the camera was from came from a birds-eye in the back and followed like in Evil Dead 2. The lighting(In opinion) in the dark scenes wasn't dark enough and if they made it darker, it would probably add more scare feel to it.
PROS: The actors were surprisingly did pretty good because you sense their fear and their pain. They also didn't do anything that would be a typical horror scenes like the old saying "Curiosity killed the cat".They do anything stupid like "Where does this dark places? Oh, now I'm dead!" It was more they had to do it or they were checking on someones well being. The plot was brought together really well and had a deeper antagonist. It made more sense to have a common trait or a thing in this decade to bring these character together and play out smoothly. antagonist was the usually but simplified to one common entity and made it easier to grasp. The book of the dead was made fantastically. The print wasn't written in blood but the details and art made up for it. The introduction really caught my attention and most of the audience. From then on I was sucked in the movie. The effects were awesome. It brought back the old horror movie effect without over killing the CGI. The effects made it feel real and mentally painful, LOL. There are many scene in this movie that will make you want to scream in acne. If you do see it you'll understand.
Overall: The movie stay true to horror. Plus it still stays on the lines with Evil Dead and doesn't drift off into something different or a disaster like the Carrie remake or the Fright Night remake. This movie wasn't a reboot, or remake. I can honestly say it was a fresh re-image of a cult classic horror movie. Though I a true fan of Evil Dead and horror movies. I gave this movie 10/10 only because I love it and hope horror movies come back booming to the old days with the modern times. This one of my favorites and always watch this every Halloween. Now, I anxious to get this on blu ray/ DVD combo pack. Now, If I was a critic I would give it a 7.5/10. It's worth that much.
PS I heard there was a Bruce Campbell cameo after the credits. I don't know if it is true but you'll find out.
