Awful!

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2013)

Bad direction, bad script, bad dialogue, bad sets, awful and forgettable film. I feel sorry for everyone who worked on this film and who sat thru it. The reason you remake a film is because the original (in this case Sam Raimi's classic Evil Dead II, not Evil Dead) is so memorable and powerful that you attempt/hope to recreate some of that magic (unless you're just trying to cash in on the name which is the only excuse for this crap). The writers and director of this film have no idea why Sam Raimi's film is so great. And that is obvious 10 minutes into this awful version. If the makers of this crappy version are reading this let me educate you. Evil Dead II is a classic because Raimi paces and shoots the film is such a way that the audience never gets to catch their breath. There's a million gory bloody kids get cut up in the woods movies, that's not interesting. What Raimi did was frantic camera shots, one after the other, unusual, bizarre, different, making it almost impossible to guess what would happen next. This film moves at the pace of a bloody slug. The director of this mess needs to go back to film school.
