Great Movie, Better than the Original

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2013)

I like the original Evil Dead and its sequel. I didn't watch Army of Darkness though so I can not comment on that one. Honestly I prefer the second one because the original wasn't very interesting to me. This remake is a great movie and if it had any other title it would have gotten more love. This is a serious take on Evil Dead and I love the result.
This time around our group of friends go to a remote cabin to help their friend Mia kick a heroin addiction. It makes for a nice set up. Soon they find a door leading to a basement and a weird book. After one of the friends gets curious and chants a prayer all hell breaks loose literally. While their are nods to the original, this is its own movie which means if you loved the original you might not like this one. Just stay with an open mind.
When it comes to remakes or reboots I tend to not compare it to its predecessors because usually there is a difference in the times and everything else. I am not saying I don't compare the movies but I tend to judge it based off its own merits. This movie created a separate universe based around the same book. It is gory and fun and never lets up. I give it 4 outta 5. Loved it and wont stop loving it. Waiting on the sequel!
