Review of Evil Dead (2013) by Kevin P — 29 Jun 2017

Completely self aware of its tone and its production, Fede Alvarez accomplished what at times seems to be a straight forward reboot of the franchise, others, a standalone re-take of the 80s classic, but inevitably the overly-aggressive and brutal violence ends up becoming too much, even if this could be considered the film's strength, and even if the film delivers what promised, none of the original's passion and naïve extravaganza is reflected in this gruesome and uneven gore-fest.
