Review of Evil Dead

Evil Dead (2013)
4/10
They'll swallow your soul but I doubt they could swallow this garbage
7 July 2013
I really wanted to like this film...honestly I did, but the film was flawed from the start. This remake of what has become a horror cult classic could not compare. A poor pretender to the throne if you will. Firstly there wasn't even a hint if humour in this film like the original. Secondly, the main girls back story wasn't really something that endeared the viewer to her plight. Half way through I actually rooted for the demons. I guess the one thing I liked about the wasted time I spent with this film was trying to see how many references I could pick up as homage to the original three movies. I am so pleased however that the lead guy did not say 'workshed' or 'groovy'. My advice is this: watch the Bruce Campbell version, it may not be as slick but it sure is better than this.
