Awesome and I'll tell you why!

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2013)

Before I state the reasons this film is truly an epic horror film, I'd like to worn readers that the most recent reviews(below) on this film are garbage. These users complain about plot, tension, writing and improvement. Take it from me, a person currently in school for film making, a person who likes to listen to director commentaries for the truth behind the camera, a person who despises others that look for mistakes in a film on the first viewing rather than enjoy the experience.
When you plan on watching a horror movie, plan on not having a lot of story to it, plan on not being to impressed with the writing or acting, and definitely plan on paying attention to small details without noticing. There's a reason why the greatest directors of all time(Tarantino, Spielberg, Kubrick etc.) don't make horror films. Horror movies are not meant to receive academy awards, they are meant to scare the crap out of you.
This movie is not a remake. This movie is a true version of what Evil Dead stands for. Other users have stated that the original is a masterpiece, a work of horror genius and so on and so forth. I admit, the original Evil Dead was a "cult classic". But it's not a horror film. My first viewing of the original Evil Dead was, for lack of a better term, a "laughfest". Yet, I still respected its art and style. I wasn't even born yet when the original movie released. However, I've seen it enough times to know what I'm talking about.
The most horrifying movies around are based on things you cannot control. That is what makes it terrifying. The reason "The Exorcist" was the greatest horror movie ever made is because you have no control over a supernatural entity. If you cringe over situations like "being held hostage" or "being lost in the woods" than your not ready to judge horror for what it really is. You have control over those situations. Keep calm, do what your hostage taker says and utilize your surroundings. There is nothing scarier than being confronted by Satan himself.
Now, why is this movie the best horror film to date? First of all, consider the simple plot. Satan just got summoned to Earth by some less than intelligent people and he is... well lets just say very angry, enough said. Next, the tension in this movie is top notch. Don't believe me? Watch "High Tension" directed by Alexendre Aja and listen to the director commentary to learn what builds tension in film. There is a reason why they chose this director to remake "The Hills Have Eyes". Back to Evil Dead, this movie uses the most blood in any movie ever made and uses it well. There are plenty more reasons why this movie is quite simply the most horrifying experience you will have. But according to IMDb's guidelines, I cannot find room for them in this review.
Anyone looking to view this film should throw out any expectations of good story, good writing or good acting. If you want an academy award winning horror film, I challenge you to convince Steven Spielberg to make one. I guarantee he won't. Although his first film was a horror movie entitled "Duel", once viewed you will realize why he won't make another. Any questions?
