It was never going to touch the original was it?!

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2013)

It was obvious that this remake of Evil Dead was never going to touch the sides of the original Sam Riami cult trilogy classic. Of course you can't replace ASH famously played by Bruce Campbell. Instead this is more blood, gore and serious. No funny moments like the original. At the moment in todays film world we are seeing tons of remakes... some do it better then others. I always try and watch a movie like this baring in mind there will be tons of people who have not even seen the original. Bare in mind the original Evil Dead would not get appreciated by modern day younger horror fans in my opinion. This is certainly a decent remake for modern day horror films and full of blood gore and jump out moments to keep a horror fans curiosity entertained so for that reason i give it a 6. Compared to the original though.... if you are a fan of the original Evil Dead then you will not enjoy this movie if you go in trying to compare it looking for a new ASH... hence the bad reviews on here.
