not very good 3/10

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2013)

disappointed with this. saw it at south by south film festival and i was not impressed. i didn't ever think it was going to be anything special and would pale against the excellent original, but i expected more.
the gore was over the top and silly. the tree rape was thoughtless torture porn. it wasn't scary. it was not imaginative. in fact, it was boring. and that is the saddest thing. so much effort put into shocking and outraging the audience with blood and guts, when the net result is tedium.
glad raimi had nothing to do with it lest he become like romero, and lose luster with his ill conceived later films.
3/10 is the very best i can muster. sorry.
