Like most modern "horror"films this was more of a try to scare you with loud bangs and make you cringe using gore movie. For obvious reasons the effects in this remake were significantly better than its 1981 predecessor. That being said the story was changed which personally irritates me because I feel like the writers have no right to take the classic/original and warp it to their liking. Though there some key points and parts in this remake that I felt should have been in the first one to make it better. All in all if you're looking for a truly frightening movie this is not the movie to go see. I give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5

I have been watching horror movies since I could stand. So long, that getting me to jump out of my seat isn't so easy these days. This movie is definitely one of the exceptions in my case. If you love watching horror movies, like myself, you have to go and see The Evil Dead. It was amazing. I think I might even go see this again.

I love this Evil Dead Trilogy and am so happy with how they went along with the original. The blood, the gore, and the chainsaw were perfection. The references from the first two brought together the subtle changes that often overpower remakes. I was surprised by the backstory, but it made the storyline make so much sense, and added a new twist to the intensity of it. I'm a horror movie buff and this actually had me on the edge of my seat. Seriously, go see this movie!
