This film didn't have a single point of comedy in it..

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2013)

A trademark and main distinctive feature of Evil Dead is the dark comedy and jokes/ catchy one liners. This element was completely cut from the film.
If a film maker is going to change one of the fundamental points of a film they should just use a different name for the film. Instead they cash in on a previous franchises success by suckers Evil Dead fans in to paying to watch the film which ISN'T EVIL DEAD. Sure location and back story/ the general idea is the same but it barely even fits in the same genre... this was a gore horror... the original was SO much more.
I was that disappointed I almost couldn't be bothered writing a review... but after the credits came the biggest bird flipping of them all from the man himself. And it's the reason I came on here to add to the many voices of discontent. It's as if the makers of the film thought "hahahah, and at the end... right after the credits... just to rub it in the faces of all the original fans who wasted their money on a cash-in insultingly bad copy of a beloved franchise... we'll do this! arghahaha"
Fede Alvarez, I am now on a life long boycott of your films. Well done sir.
