Imagine this was a first. Numero Uno.

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2019)

Imagine this is the first movie called anything even close to "Evil Dead", or "The Evil Dead", or a movie containing the Necronomicon, or Deadites, or anything even remotely related to any of that terminology.
Now, imagine there is another dimension in which you remember living in 1981 where there was a horror movie called "The Evil Dead", which was considered scary and gory horror, but was written by an intelligent person FOR intelligent people that enjoyed horror, but that person was intelligent enough to understand that only a couple of short years later it was so over the top that it was no longer really considered "scary" per se, but gory enough to retain its shock value, so this intelligent person made a couple more films in its image, becoming more and more outlandish, but also more fun. Thus, almost INVENTING the idea of "campy" horror.
REMEMBER, you can only remember these things if your'e intelligent enough to understand and retain these concepts.
This movie (the one you just watched for those of you not intelligent enough to form complete sentences, much less understand the concepts both myself and this movie are driving at) is not a remake, nor is it a sequel. At most, it is a reimagining (if you aren't intelligent enough just disregard this entire paragraph) with quite a few nods to a...not movie that would have been made in 1981 as a horror classic...if we were intelligent enough to comprehend and remember such a movie...but trust me, we aren't. This is an original horror movie and a very good one at that, that just happens to have one thing I don't understand, and that's the handsome guy at the very end that breaks the 4th wall and says, "groovy". But that was enjoyable and in no way affects the movie.
