maxmages So I think the movie is pretty garbage I do not like horror movies is not a secret but I made the Evil Dead movies and so I was very curious how they might look today, with today's facts, today's technology, today's make-up etc but unfortunately the movie does exactly the wrong thing that makes many horror movies today it takes too seriously, wide parts of the movie are completely dark so you can hardly see anything and the brutal scenes are once again cut as ugly as in a hip hop video so that you can not enjoy the full impact and impact of the injury at all, or suffer the pain.What a lot of people will not understand I think it's too good a lot too nice a lot to it yes it's too much with that and the cold drug withdrawal is way too serious that just does not fit into this kind of movie. I want the beginning scene with the father who has to expel the evil from his daughter and because he does not succeed then then shoot. but nothing else absolutely nothing I could not find anything about this movie, nothing in this movie was anything exciting, nothing was funny, nothing was scary and he was not even bored so he would be a good fall asleep just boring in terms of that he has moved and I wondered all the time when this garbage is finally over.I know the movie has its fans but I definitely do not have it I just thought it was disgusting and I'm glad to be left alone with this version of "Evil Dead".
nguyenthithuhien-26433 Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.
The Movie Diorama I can only assume that the film makers supplied several swimming pools filled with fake blood...because there is so much of it. Blood on the floor, blood on clothes, blood on faces, raining blood, blood on...wait a minute, raining blood!? Yes, it goes to that extreme. So Evil Dead is a remake of the original of the same name, we follow a group of teens in a cabin in a remote location who try to help their friend to stop taking drugs. They find the book of the dead and what ensues is a heck load of blood and gore! Oh, and all of the following: tree rape, slicing tongue and snogging someone, car crushing a girl's hand and her pulling it out...and my favourite, absolutely decimating someone with a chainsaw. I'm talking ripped to shreds! Total annihilation! Ohhhh so satisfying to watch...in a sick weird way. As you can probably tell, I enjoyed the hell out of this and have done for several viewings. It knows exactly what it is, a fun gory flick that does not take itself too seriously. Yes the characters are bland and expendable and yes the acting is mediocre, except Jane Levy who was actually really good. But you didn't watch this for an Oscar nominated performance. No no no you wanted to see a girl slice her mouth open with a shard of glass! I mean the enhanced use of makeup, prosthetics, costumes etc. just made the experience all the more enjoyable and authentic. I appreciated the dark comedic undertone, particularly from the possessed Mia, that definitely harked back to the original. Director Fede Alvarez did a good job, lots of creepy camerawork and I adored the opening bird's eye view shot where the teenagers are driving along the road. His usage of visual exposition, such as flashbacks to the opening scene, were pointless and unfortunately spoon fed us everything. You'll guess the whole plot in the first 10 minutes, which is its downfall. However, I wanted to see gore and it delivered...massively. My advice: don't read a book made of skin and wrapped in barbed wire. Just don't.
markelia If you want the original Evil Dead, there are some connections to the older film here and some new additions. The set feels nostalgic and remiscent. The brutality is certainly here, lots of cringy gore. No censorship, some sexually disturbing shots (a bit like the older one).The story and characters are somewhat deviant, however. I thought that the script and the acting were weak at the start, but I think that Mia really got into her role once things picked up. The rest of performances were sub-par and the characters themselves were boring and had no depth/interrelationships that were notable. BUT, as far as horror movies go, I still think this was a good movie. I watched it alone in the dark, so that may have added to the thrill a bit, but it certainly has the potential to keep you biting your nails and jumping off your seat every once in awhile. I think that the opening scene, by the way, was PHENOMENAL. So well done in my opinion, one of the best openers for a horror.If you watch horrors with the same mindset that you have for all other films, I'd say it's a 5/10. If you watch horrors with the mindset that you're going to be watching a horror (as I do), I'd give it a 7/10.That being said, to name a few horror movies that I hold in high regard: Conjuring films, The Thing (old one), The Mist, The Ritual, It Follows, The Others, The Village, The Witch.
