Horror geeks rejoice

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2013)

This movie was a balance of a tribute to the classic, and a unique and worthy addition to the family. I think a lot of the "horror snobs" are just uneducated if they say this movie was a disappointment. The original evil dead was not campy, like army of darkness, or even the evil dead 2, It was creepy, innovative, and fantastically gory. This movie definitely has its share of gore and buckets of blood. Don't get me wrong I love all three of the Sam Raimi films, and he is a bit of a god in book. But I'm not going to Dis a film just because he was not directing. Fede Alvarez did a remarkable job at keeping the spirit of the original alive. While I did miss the whole Jack of clubs scene from the first, I'm glad it was not a shot by shot remake. And it has it's own share of classic moments, like the grave scene. It's not Sam, and Bruce Campbell is reduced to a end of credit shot, but bravo for having the nuts to tackle a remake of a cult classic.
