Totally worth the time to watch

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2013)

Something people don't understand about remakes is that the entire point is to "remake" the original to be something that younger movie-going audiences (that weren't around for the originals) will enjoy. Altering parts of the plot and making a new story is part of the remake franchise. This film was no exception. If you're a die-hard fan of the original odds are you won't like the remake. However, today's younger audiences see originals (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead) to be cheesy and dull so the only way to make these films more appealing to younger crowds is to add a bit of gore and a bit more story. Is this film cliché? Of course! The original film set the standard for what cheesy horror is all about so the remake's full attempt was to be cliché as well. Regardless of how it compares to the original it has gore, the supernatural, and an overall eeriness that makes it worth watching. (Just think of all the other horror movies that have come out lately. Sharknado, Frankenfish. Two-Headed Shark Attack. Evil Dead can't be all that bad)
