Evil Dead - What I've Been Waiting For

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2013)

The horror film we needed. Despite the naysayers, Evil Dead delivers bloody gore and then some. Get one thing straight: this type of horror movie will absolutely NOT be for everyone. If you like roller coasters, fun houses, and haunted hayrides, this film is for you. If you're looking for thought provoking, art-house horror or ghostly creepiness, look elsewhere. I'm tired of the current horror fare. You can keep your Sinister and Paranormal Activity. Rob Zombie's poor attempt at imitating Argento? Give me a break.
The headlong jump into a bloody rabbit hole that is Evil Dead is exactly what fans of old school gore have been waiting for. This is the most fun I've had in a theater since The Cabin In The Woods.
I'm a huge fan of the original material and have no idea how anyone who loves them as much as I, given the current state of American horror cinema, would use this opportunity to stroke their own egos by trashing it. Are you kidding me? I should note that I'm a fan of Hatchet, Cabin Fever, Maximum Overdrive, Demons, and Jason m#@!f*%king Voorhees, but also of The Beyond, Susperia, and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.
You can't go wrong with Evil Dead if you're in it for a good time. Get Some.
