"Groovy"

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2019)

What a glorious remake.
There's primarily one reason to see this film: the violence. When you think it's reached its most sadistic peak, the movie pushes the envelope further until you're completely desensitized to what's happening on screen. The crescendo of the splatter comes in the finale with a chainsaw--you won't be disappointed.
Evil Dead is an amazing homage to the slasher genre. If you took "Night of the Demons" and bred it with "Cabin Fever," you would get this amazing Evil Dead remake that is so fun and enjoyable to watch, you forget you're watching a bunch of sexy idiots get hacked up and chewed on to death.
For gore hounds, Evil Dead (2013) is almost impossible to beat in mainstream cinema except for maybe the I Spit On Your Grave unrated remakes. In terms of sadistic and gratuitous vilence, this version of Evil Dead is like watching a two hour extended version of the last 20 minutes of the original French film "Martyrs (2008)."
What a delicious experience. 8/10
