A Bad-Ass Reboot Film for the Apple Generation

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2013)

First things first, this movie is not at all a "remake". A remake implies that all aspects of the original film were going to be evolved and morphed into a new film, and that is not what this film is. The character of Ash (brilliantly played by Bruce Campbell) isn't even in this movie. The original 1981 masterpiece is about 5 friends going out to an isolated cabin to party and go wild, and slowly but surely they become possessed, tortured and killed off. This film follows the story of a girl trying to shake her addiction to drugs and her four friends go along with her to help her with this difficult transition. Second, this film, unlike most horror film remakes, actually stay true to the tradition of building suspense and affection for the character before killing them off in gruesome manners. Evil Dead has everything you would expect a horror movie of 2013 to have: sex, blood and drugs. This film a tour-de-force of gore, mayhem and good times that is not to reckoned with. See it, because to those who say it isn't worth it, trust me - they're wrong!
