Review of Evil Dead (2013) by Ollie W — 11 Sep 2015

I thought this was a zombie film going into it and so I wasn't expecting much (I'm not a fan of zombie movies in general). So, I guess saying "I was pleasantly surprised" doesn't apply so much considering I thought it was about something I'm not keen on. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Another thing I'm not keen on in films is excessive gore. My main reason for that is it's usually unecessary, or the film relies almost soleley on it. However, here there is a considerable amount of gore. But I don't think it's unecessary.

I haven't seen the original films so I can't say how good this is in comparison to those. But from other horror films I've seen at least, this one comes across as quite original, quite tense/scary, and basically a good film all around.
