Great remake of a B horror classic into a serious horror film

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2014)

I was excited about the new evil dead, being a fan of the original trilogy. I could not believe all the low ratings on IMDb, if you read through it seems like most low ratings are due to the fact that this contained little to no comedy or dark humor, and it was too disgusting or too bloody. I feel like a lot of them are mad that they cannot relive their glory days in the 80's when they could pop in a VHS, drink some beers with a group of people, have some laughs and get laid after. This is not that type of movie, as it seems to have deeper gut wrenching dialogue that makes you feel a little uneasy as if walking into a serious conversation.
I personally like the take on evil dead, the subtle differences in story made it exciting and with a decent sound system and HD I thought it was moderately scary. I am not just an evil dead fan but a fan of movies that are directed well. I thought the actors were convincing, not amazing but still good enough. The amount of gore in this reminds me of most grindhouse films but yes, it does lack comedy. I think this is easily underrated due to fan boys and those who cannot handle gore. A review here said that only sociopaths and people who like violent videogames and torture animals would like this... well, this is not a movie for your god fearing mother. If you believe violent movies and video games cause sociopaths, not only would you lack any substantial evidence linking that, but you would lack credibility as well. maybe you should start writing for fox news. I think you missed the whole point of the horror genre. I save lives for a living at a hospital, I care for many small animals, reptiles, and invertebrates and I volunteer at the local wildlife center. Yeah, I fail to see a correlation between liking horror films and being a sociopath.
