a blood fest with brains

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2015)

Yes, the new Evil Dead was a real blood fest with a believable storyline, good acting (Jane Levy is great!), a scary/disgusting "villain" and an astounding (!!!) soundtrack.
As you probably already read, this is not a remake, but a new approach to the Evil Dead universe. It still has the main elements of the series but delivers a completely new story, new scares and winks at the audience a few times (specially old school fans), but not so much in comical way, like on the original movie.
A special note on the powerful soundtrack: for me, it really made the difference in this movie, contributing to create some of the most nerve wrecking sequences I've seen in the past years. The final scenes will leave you grabbing your chair, while being beautiful to watch at the same time.
This became one of my favorite horror movies of the decade (and I do enjoy the classics), so... give it a go. 9/10
