Sure its not Godard but what did you expect?

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2013)

I'm truly surprised by the amount of negative reviews here. Considering that most of the horrific gore-gimmicks were revealed in the prominent redband trailer, why did so many people who didn't want to see 91 minutes of sickening camped up gore go to this movie? I thought it was pretty clear that the film's sole objective was to gross you out with as many different power tools and sharp objects as possible.
The negative reviews should be ascribed to the people who knew what Evil Dead was, saw the trailer, read critics reviews, and then continued to go see a movie which they quite obviously were not interested in. This is not to say that this is a good movie, or more specifically a movie that most people would enjoy. But honestly, you went to a movie called Evil Dead and came back complaining about bad acting, over the top merciless gore, and lack of substance?
Shame on you.
If you have the intellect to understand what this movie is all about, and can manage to find some joy in cringing in the face of all things unsettling and morally depraved, by all means, join in on the fun. If not: Don't go see a movie you know you won't enjoy.
For everyone else, the movie accomplishes its mission well enough so just relax and enjoy pure Deadite dismemberment.
