The Evil Dead (remake)
I saw this when it was first released and compared it to the original movies (The Evil Dead 1 & 2 are two of my favourite horror/comedies) and that was a big mistake.
The Evil Dead is alot like playing the new Doom game, just flat out action with no real development needed and taking that approach made me like the film a bit better - it's definitely got some terrific imagery. The characters are still horrible, all completely forgettable outside of Jessica Lucas who is only memorable for how good she looked even covered in bloody puke. It definitely packs a punch though, doesn't hold back, violent as **** and definitely fun but the characters and their stupidity just make it a typical slasher flick, with a curse instead of a masked killer.
6.5/10
