Great movie. Very glad it wasn't a ****** comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2013)

This movie was great. Everything you could ask for. It was serious, gory, intense, and ACTUALLY HAD A STORY. You don't see that often. Of course, the original is a cult classic. The remake really isn't too much like the original, but in a good way. The original introduced the characters then picked up with the horror. Most people think it was intentionally funny, but they don't know jack ****. The movie was supposed to be gritty and intense. Though the budget didn't allow it to do so. It turned out really cheesy,which made people believe it was done purposely. It wasn't intentionally funny, that's why Sam did Evil Dead 2, so he could retell the original with a higher budget, and make it a comedy. This movie had a story, which was about a girl trying to get off heroine, and her friend accidentally releases the demons. It also added that if it took five souls, it could come to Earth, causing it to rain blood. Most people give this movie crap, saying it wasn't funny like the original, so it was crap. Well **** them, this movie wasn't supposed to be funny, and I'm glad it wasn't. It had good acting (except for the blonde, I don't know her name, but I think that's why she barely had any lines), and an amazing story (for it's genera). I also loved the fact it didn't rely on CGI for gore, just good old fashioned special effects. The demon make up was creepy, and not as over-the-top as the original. It was a great movie, and one of the few good remakes. These include (Dawn of the Dead 2004, Rob Zombies Halloween (not Halloween 2), The Hills Have Eyes 2006, Friday the 13th 2009). There are others, but I can't think of any from the top of my head.
A must see movie for all horror fans!
