Not bad at all

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2013)

I went in to this film having seen the originals and with reading some reviews. needless to say some of the reviews were unfavourable. it is at the heart of it a remake. a terrible word in modern cinema but one which has become quite common place. i have seen quite a few remakes and this certainly was not the worst.
Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell both were producers for this film so it had quite a few nods to the original, and in my opinion did not let it down. the acting was quite good but with most modern horror films it was a pretty unknown cast.
It is a bloody film, going for a more traditional fake blood approach instead of cgi, which in my opinion makes the film more enjoyable.
This was a good cinema film, it had scares, it had blood and most of all we had fun watching it. it is not an Oscar winner of course but certainly a film worth seeing.
