The bad reviews are due people who clearly do not understand horror unfortunately.

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2013)

I gave a fairly high rating because this film did a great job in mass advertising and had legitimate scary scenes. I will admit that they blew some of the scenes on the previews they've been showing for weeks prior to release which was a bummer to find out.
If you're not an avid horror watcher then you will probably be disappointed with this film. It seems like people were expecting this to be the next coming of Exorcist proportions. Whether you liked that film or not it caused a huge sensor hip stir in many other countries, and scared audiences senseless.
What the audience for Evil Dead 2013 is failing to understand is that is movie is very clearly an homage to the 81' Evil Dead. Hence the horribly cheesy semi offensive lines, super red corn syrupy blood and rather unbelievable plot. Jane Levys' acting as (Mia) is undeniably evil and scary. I think this movie set out to achieve what it intended which was to create a huge hype for an entertaining horror flick.
