Review of Evil Dead (2013) by Jen H — 12 Nov 2015
Somewhat disappointed as a huge Evil Dead fan. The gore and scares were admittedly fantastic, and I had to look away so many times from the screen as my heartbeat just was racing the entire time. I just wish it didn't have the "Evil Dead" tag, as this probably would have been a 4/5.
This isn't Evil Dead. For every scare in Evil Dead, there would be a ridiculous over-the-top SFX or inventive kill to make you smile, This was just relentlessly gore and torture, which is fine, but it's not Evil Dead.
The last half hour was not great either, it felt about 15-20 minutes too long, with not a lot in the middle. By the time we get to the multiple climaxs, we are missing the protagonist (albeit one-dimensionally written) we have been rooting for the entire movie. Who made that decision? :/.
