Don't listen to the haters. This was a good remake.

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2013)

Just saw this movie yesterday, and I was not disappointed. Being a fan of the Evil Dead movies I knew exactly what I was getting into. What I do not understand are people's reaction to this movie. This was a remake of Evil Dead 1 not 2. It is not supposed to be funny or have dark humor, and it is supposed to be intense and gory. Evil Dead 2 was a lighter and funnier take on the first. Watch The Evil Dead (1981) and see if your pov of this remake changes. If you have seen the original movie you would know that and expect that the remake would be at least the same amount of blood and gore and probably more. As far as the tree rape scene, have you seen the original??? I thought the tree rape scene in the original was more uncomfortable. It also bothers me that people aren't aware that Bruce and Sam were the producers of the movie and had a lot of input. I bet they were the ones pushing Fede for more blood. Why not?! Its f-ing Evil Dead.
The Good: -Lack of cliché (with one exception that i can think of. Olivia and the face in the mirror scene) -The intensity/imagery -The gore -creepy demon that infects Mia -The back story. In fact, I am glad they had some other reason (and practical) to go to the cabin instead of just some kidz who want to party and screw. THAT would be cliché. And don't forget to run into the local crazy at the run down gas station who tries to warn the kids. Im so glad that didn't happen.
The Bad: -The revival of Mia at end. I didn't like how easy it was to cleanse her from the demon by briefly burying her then de-fibrillate her with a home-made device. -The scene with the electric knife to the arm. Really? Can you cut through your arm flesh and bone with that? Although, I did like that scene and how her arm was dangling then fell. but could she have used something else? -fricking hipster character -not complaining, but i don't understand how the demon resurrected at the end when 5 souls were not taken. David sacrifice himself in the fire, and Mia was cleansed. -should the book have had warnings written in English? why the f would you read something like that after seeing the warnings? Could he have some how read the words mistakenly some other way instead? But then we wouldn't have a good movie and it would've been a more normal weekend at the cabin.
One of best parts about this movie experience is the fact that there were four older ladies (in there 50's?) in the audience who were just as excited to see the movie.
For now I give this movie a 8/10.
The Omen was the worst remake (scene for scene).
