Review of Evil Dead (2013) by Gavin P — 10 Apr 2014

Not a bad re-make - it is at least a little different story-wise, but not by much - but a lot of it is pretty stupid. That's not always bad - I did laugh/chuckle a few times! - but the final scene was particularly absurd and made the whole film feel longer than necessary.

That being said, it still sticks to the Book of the Dead, demons & possession and does the make-up and creepiness better than the original. And it's way more gruesome - whether that's a good or bad thing is up tot you to decide!
