An interesting twist to the demonic theme.

Rating: 7/10 (23 August 2013)

Compared to the original Evil Dead film made in 1981, this remake has much more twists and turns, making it a film full of high-tension. As well as the characters having actual back stories, causing the audience to feel a large connection to the saddened characters. Though being very different from the original, the change in characters and script is done in not a disappointing way; though in a way that leaves you not knowing what to expect.
In my personal opinion, the remake is better than the original. I found that the original was a little too unrealistic and frankly the characters died because of their own stupid actions (like wondering off into a forest in the middle of the night). However in this new addition to the Evil Dead franchise, the characters are put in situations that they didn't put themselves in, making you feel large amounts of sorrow and leaves you wishing you could have helped them in some way.
Now, I feel like I should leave a warning here... If you don't like gore, stay away from this film. I personally love gore, but only when it's done in a clever way. This is why I liked Evil Dead (2013). And lets not forget the fantastic acting from Jane Levy. If it weren't for her, a majority of the scenes would have been far less intense. She brought total terror to the film.
Overall, I give this film a 7/10. Not the best horror film ever made, but still done in a genius way. I say give this film a go.
