Different from the original, but still great!

I don't understand all the negative reviews.
I'm a big fan of the original Evil Dead trilogy, and I loved Ash as a character. Although Ash wasn't in this movie, I wasn't disappointed. I did not go to this movie expecting to see an EXACT remake of the original Evil Dead.
It's a very gory and bloody movie; if blood and guts aren't your thing, steer clear of this movie. There were many subtle details that paid tribute to the original movie, and it stayed true to the main plot of the original. There is quite a bit of dark humor within the movie, and I found myself chuckling at many moments. Most of the characters were likable, and the actors/actresses did well. The movie kept me interested, and there were moments of suspense. The ending scene is fantastic.
This movie wasn't revolutionary, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. It's a great horror movie, and a good remake/re-imagination of the original film. I recommend giving it a watch.
