Great new vision to a cult classic!

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2015)

This remake of its classic predecessor really did it justice! Some remakes have really missed their mark but this one really kept me on the edge of my seat. I don't scare or "jump" easily with horror films but this one caught me a couple times. The "feel" of this movie is definitely different than the originals, it felt more like a horror film compared to the original's horror content but comical overacting mood. Both styles and movies are great in their own way, and I love Bruce Campbell as much as the next guy, but it was refreshing to see the new approach and new vision to this remake! (I mean, who really wants to see the exact same movie with different characters anyways?) The Cinematography was beautiful in this film, so props to Aaron Morton, and the acting was on par. A lot of horror films have at least one actor who seems..well, like they can't act. I felt like this film had no weak actors. Now to address the haters. From what I've read on the low votes on this movie was because 1)It wasn't exactly like the originals and 2) It wasn't realistic. As I previously said, I liked how it wasn't the exact same thing and that they are both great in their own ways. So if you think the originals are absolutely perfect and don't want to see anything else other than that, then KEEP WATCHING THE ORIGINALS. You're already setting yourself up to hate anything past them. As for the second point, I'll say "As if the originals were SO realistic..." haha! The point of the originals were to be over the top, and they achieved that. This remake may not have been SCIENTIFICALLY realistic, like on how to dismember an arm, but the effects were pretty damn grotesque and real "looking" to anyone with a sense of imagination. Definitely far from cheesy. So if you are a scientist/doctor in human biology AND a perfectionist where if tendons tear the wrong way it will bother you, then this film may not be for you. But props to the FX team, I thought they did a fantastic job. I totally recommend this movie to any horror lover.
