Bad attempt to remake a classic. If you are expecting lot of blood , merciless killings and violence , you will not be disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2013)

There different kind of horror films- one that scares you literally , one that thrills you with sudden twist in the end and then there are films which are meant to astonish you with gore violence and blood on the floor. Evil dead falls into the later category which has little substance but has more of slashing , spilling of blood like fountain.
A group of friends visit a cabin in woods where they discover Book of Dead which unleashes evil when re-opened.
A remake of Evil Dead with same name directed by Sam Raimi ( Spiderman series) , the new one falls flat on the surface. The movie begins with a witchcraft magic to kill the evil which is well crafted. However , there was not a genuine reason shown why people came down to the deep jungle as if was meant to take place. The movie is dedicated to all the slasher flicks with no actual stories and rely more on violence and blood. It is spooky at some point but has been elongated by few scenes. The good part is that it is gripping and you will not feel bore at any cost. Direction is decent. Screenplay is inefficient. Dialogues are good. Performance are nice by the lead star cast.
Overall , bad attempt to remake a classic. If you are expecting lot of blood , merciless killings and violence , you will not be disappointed. Decent 2.5 /5
