A Terrifying Experience For Sure!!!

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2013)

I watched the original Evil Dead about 1 year ago, as I'm 18 years old, I don't think I was alive when the original released to truly appreciate it. Although when I heard a remake/reboot was in the making I was really excited! The posters began promoting this as a truly 'terrifying experience' and I was not disappointed with this 2013 Evil Dead!
I'm not here to review the synopsis but I will mention minor spoilers which made this experience great!
Firstly, I felt that the character of Mia played by Jane Levy was brilliant whilst I was not too convinced by her on-screen brother (Shiloh Fernandez). The other two female characters were pretty useless as well. But Jane Levy's performance stood out!
As you may have heard a lot of the film scares come from gore, and you're correct but it truly does contain genuine jumpy moments! When I watched this movie I was jumping out of my seat and my jaw was on the ground as I looked in pure shock! I have never seen this much gore before but I was genuinely terrified as it contains thrills!
As a fan of the original I needed a reboot because of the old-school effects of the previous edition. But one flaw of this movie was that there was no similarity to the original in terms of the tape of the incantations and I would have loved a bit more back-story, (reboots tend to do that a lot). I love going to see horror films and I was really excited for this movie! If you don't like gore I don't recommend you see it! (My friends were crying in terror) but I you're the type of person who loves to go watch adrenaline pumping horror which is the perfect running time, go and watch this. Don't listen to bad reviews because the review is completely up to you! But go have fun and you won't regret the experience! Highly recommended and probably one of the best horror reboots in a long time!
If you're from the UK, I do not recommend staying after the credits because it was a waste of time when you see a tiny clip of 'Bruce Campbell' saying 'Groovy' which killed the scary moment! Haha! Enjoy!
