A Decent Remake of the Horror Classic

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2013)

"The Evil Dead" was a movie that shocked and scared millions. It was directed by the brilliant Sam Raimi who also directed one of my favorite horror movies: Drag me to Hell. Now some of the producers of the original came back to do a remake.
The Acting: For the most part the acting was pretty good. Jane Levy did a very good job at portraying her drug-riddled character looking for redemption. Shiloh Fernandez really made us believe that he was the BROTHER of Mia. My favorite character by far was Eric played by Lou Taylor Pucci. He had some great one-liners and was a great character until the "end".
The Plot: The main plot was about Mia. She has had a drug addiction for a while now, so her friends and brother take her on a "cleansing" trip to their cabin. There, they discover the book of the dead which unleashes EVIL.
Did it Scare: To put it simply, NO. It did not scare. The trailer was probably one of the most well made trailers that I've ever seen. The movie however did not live up to it. There were plenty of "jump-scares" as well as extremely gory scenes that were just made for people to cringe.
The Verdict: Evil Dead certainly was not as good as the original. However, the acting was decent with a great performance from Jane Levy, an interesting plot twist towards the end,and very impressive CGI. I give it a 6/10.
