An unfocused mess, that is an insult to even the most basic filmmaking

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2013)

--There aren't really any spoilers, but if you don't want to know anything, you shouldn't be reading reviews anyway. Just in case: This review may spoil basic plot details about a movie without much of a plot to begin with.
This movie absolutely sucked. A terrible remake, with a bunch of favorable "rent-a-reviews" designed to increase box office numbers. It was chock full of awful dialog, ridiculous new "rules" and theology, added due to lack of creativity, quality new ideas, and writing in general. It had completely pointless, and undeveloped characters (especially unforgivable considering this is a remake, and already had character foundations from which to build).
This pile of crap was an unfocused mess created to make money off the backs of fans of the original, while containing unintentionally cartoon-ish gore, and the vocabulary of a troubled 13 year old, in order to appeal to the younger generation of horror fans. There was barely enough decent footage to make an appealing trailer, which admittedly got me out to see this in the theaters to begin with.
Anything new added, outside of the original, was so weak that even a novice horror fan would find it cringe worthy. I know this was a work of fiction, yet within this fictional universe, there was way too much reliance on suspension of disbelief to find it even mildly entertaining.
The script was riddled with profane dialog (which I'm normally not against) in a futile attempt to be "edgy." Even the gore was too silly, forced, and added nothing to the suspense or horror. Any nods to fans of the original were also forced, and out of place.
The "junkie trying to get clean" aspect was poor excuse to initiate the story, and didn't carry as much weight as it needed to be a major plot point. (Besides, it's 2013, who does heroin anymore anyway? Haha!)
Sadly, this "movie" did well enough in box office numbers to justify all of us having to suffer through another sequel. Even though I will be boycotting all subsequent releases of Evil Dead (outside of a continuation of the original series, which at this point, especially with Drag Me to Hell, and the fact that this remake has the Campbell/Raimi seal of approval, will probably be a stinker) even the idea of them continuing this excuse of a remake with a follow up, sickens me.
The fact that a 33 year old movie on a shoestring budget, that was a directors first feature, blows a fully produced movie, with a well paid writer, modern technology, and a decent budget, out of the water should be a shame felt by the entire cast and crew. How anyone could have enjoyed this, even if they had never seen the original, thus had no high expectations, is beyond me.
