I wish he developed the addiction story a lot more.
Fede Alvarez wrote/directed this remake of Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981).
They find the Book of the Dead and all hell breaks loose. Mia is an addict trying to quit cold turkey. Is this as good as the original? No, it lacks the genuine fright-factor even if the ickiness is there.but at the same time it won't disappoint modern horror fans with its blend of demonic possession and outrageous violence.įriends Mia (Jane Levy), David (Shiloh Fernandez), Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci), Olivia (Jessica Lucas), and Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) go to an isolated cabin. Production values are more than adequate and the cast are pretty good, too.

This is one of the most extremely vicious and nasty films I've seen in a long time, in which the various set-pieces of gore are difficult to watch let's just say that the chainsaw stuff hinted at back in the 1980s is shown in full force here. And, perhaps most surprisingly of all, the gore quota has been ramped up considerably. The same suspense is there, the pulse-pounding question of who's going to be affected next by the curse, while at the same time it's given some Hollywood slickness to offset the original's grubby, zero-budget charm. It's a film made very much in the spirit of the first film, and that makes it pretty good for a remake.

This remake thankfully changes things around a bit story-wise, so that even the many fans of the original movie will find themselves guessing as to what's about to happen next. Everything about it gelled, and it remains effective to this day, despite the cheesiness of the low-budget effects work. While EVIL DEAD 2 was the best of the three films, for me, a pitch-perfect comedy/horror, and ARMY OF DARKNESS was a funny, cheesy comedy, the first film was a gruelling terror flick made on a teensy budget.and it worked. I have to say, starting out, that Sam Raimi's original EVIL DEAD trilogy has been a favourite of mine ever since I saw it as a teenager. EVIL DEAD is a gory, creepy, violent, over-the-top thrill ride that isn't flawless but it's certainly at the top of its game. To say EVIL DEAD is a great throwback would probably be an understatement but I think the film proves what can be done when you get a director, a cast, writers and producers who want to do something right. This here is something missing from a lot of horror films today. There's nothing Oscar-worthy here but all give cast members really turned in strong work and best of all is that the screenplay gave them something to do and managed to make us like each and everyone of them so that by the time the violence starts we can feel something for them. I also didn't hurt that the five actors gave such good performances. I thought the director really did a great job at building up the loneliness of the woods and I thought this here added to the atmosphere. The entire look and feel of the movie is terrific as you really do get something that soaks up the low-budget and manages to use it as a positive. I wouldn't call the violence scary but it's certainly got an intense shock level to it that makes it quite effective. Director Fede Alvarez builds up a rather creepy atmosphere, which certainly helps the impact of the film but he also manages to make the violence quite gruesome. I'm one who feels that gore is never scary and I think that's true here but it's somewhat different. EVIL DEAD really packs quite a punch on a number of levels. While I don't think this is quite as good as the original there's no question that the filmmakers put a lot of time and effort into the film and they've managed to make something that will probably be seen as the top of its genre in its own time.
