unfortunately not worth the time

Rating: 3/10 (1 December 2013)

I enjoy a good horror film, but unfortunately this wasn't one. I saw a lot of good reviews for this, and on cable TV it was a 3 of 4 stars, so I thought Evil Dead would be a good film to DVR. I was very disappointed! I saw the original when it first came out, so to be honest I hardly remember it, and was not comparing the two at all. I personally, just found this movie to have a bunch of useless gory, scare-seeking, and poorly scripted scenes. Seriously, I watch almost any movie to the end, even if it's not so good, but I turned this off and erased it from my DVR about half way through. It was just stupid. Lots of stuff being projectiled from the mouth, evil eyes, characters walking off on their own and not using their brains to think or make reasonable decisions...all that typical 'B' horror stuff. To me it was just "teen horror", with no intelligence...not campy enough to be fun and not clever enough to be good. (stick to better horror pics: The Descent, Saw, The Ring, etc. in my humble opinion)
