Could have passed as its own film.

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2013)

This is actually not a bad film, but everyone is upset about how different it is from Raimi's original "Evil Dead". But isn't that the point? A remake of a film should be the what the person "remaking" the film would have liked it to be, not simply a modernized version. Although people forget this, it's how it's supposed to be. I saw this movie, not expecting an exact replica of the original, and it met my expectations. People shouldn't judge a film by what it's supposed to be, they should judge it by what it is. If this film was given a different title, it probably would have a much higher rating. So it's a good film, but it doesn't meet "The Evil Dead's" standards. I recommend seeing it in a theater, it's action packed all the way through, and never slows down. Eight stars.
