Decent flick, if not a bit too much swearing.

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 2013)

Let's start this off with my respect for the original franchise.
OK.
So there's things this movie got right:
Camera
Good work there, just like the original had.
Music
Very nice, scary music. Not much to say really.
Gore
Lot's of overkill blood that I like, again, with the original in mind. But there is just too much saw-like moments, where it's not scary but it's just sickening to look at something. In the original franchise, you didn't see Ash cut off his arm, but your imagination did that for you. Here you just see it. It's boring, and disgusting.
Acting
Besides the blond guy with the glasses, everyone was horrible, and I did not care one bit about them. The blond guy was great though, and all the unbelievable pain he went through was a good take on the old Evil Dead humor. He also was the only one with a brain.
Writing
The thing that killed this movie though was the use of the word bitch, and rape, and what-not.
"your sister is being raped in hell!" "Come here and let me suck your cock, little bitch".
Is this the exorcist? Completely stupid. What happened to classic lines as:
"I'll swallow your soul!"
This is what killed the movie and made it not worth more that a 6. It's a horror movie, and an average one at that, that felt the urge to follow the "we need a lot of swearing" thing that's going on in horror's lately.
Fun flick, but no more, and a bit too disgusting. A few really good scares in it though.
And the ending is a disappointment for those that have seen the original.
