Review of Evil Dead (2013) by Zmax78 — 16 Jul 2013

I remember the effect that the first Evil Dead movies had on me. In its time, it set the bar high for other horror films. This is what I expected from Evil Dead (2013). I got the ticket for the movie, and could barely wait to get in to the theater, the first few minutes looked promising.

.. unfortunately the new movie failed to deliver, or even live up to its predecessors, as I watched the rest of the movie. I'm saying this as a nostalgic fan of the Evil Dead trilogy. Then I thought maybe the scary factors isn't working because I'm feeling comforted by the viewers sitting next to me in the theater, so, I got it in blue ray disc and watched all by my self, and still it didn't have that scare or suspense effect on me.

I think the scare tactics were typical, flat, cliche, and can't say I have seen any thing that the film makers have done to bring the viewers to the edge of their seats. Evil Dead (2013) could have done better, hopefully they will in the next Evil Dead movie.
