a second hand movie lacking a middle finger. But still really good.

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2013)

I am a fairly big fan of the originals. As a teenager i would dream of how I would create a sequel to Evil dead 2, and then the army of darkness. I found Evil Dead, this one to really funny in places. It was gory in a zombie type of way, but always entertaining. It presents the concept of the deadites being the different phases of cold turkey. and does it this is a fairly intellectual way. The camera work captures the juxtapositions of the open woods and blood stain close ups of faces.
The Rape scene in this film is less misogynistic. Not traumatic/hysterical like the original movies. But the shower scene afterwards give the premise of rape a more mature display than the original films. I.e someone cowering in the shower in desolation. Not one of the funnier parts.
Overall I would recommend this film, it is violent, but all very good fun. Not too creepy.
