Now from an objective perspective, I will say that this take on Evil Dead is somewhere in the middle, but leaning more towards “better” rather than “catastrophically devastating train wreck”.
EVIL DEAD 2013 WHERE TO WATCH MOVIE
That is because whilst some will see this as not necessary and outright slap in the face to what came before whilst others will be able to look past the inevitable comparisons and appreciate this movie for the ruthless sense of pacing, the hard to watch gruesome and quite bloody moments, terrific work behind the camera, and odes to the original whilst also going down its own blood-drenched route.
Yet even though helmer Fede Alvarez’s take on the property is lacking in a few areas, I still think this will be the kind of material that lovers of the Horror genre will take to like a chainsaw to some Deadites although in the process audiences will most likely find themselves tore up in regards to their thoughts on this film in general. Indeed to say that is some powerhouse allies to have in their corner would be quite the….groovy undead understatement. This trio, in case you didn’t know is, is the star, director, and producer, respectively, of the original Evil Dead, the terrific follow-up that was Evil Dead 2, and the boom-stick and Medieval Times-promoting Army of Darkness.
I say this because this take on the iconic horror film franchise that started in 1981 was both produced, and its director chosen, by the trio of Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Rob Tapert. I feel it is a safe assumption to make that even though there are very few horror remakes which are given both creative input from, and blessed by, those who made the original such an iconic property that the 2013 soft reboot, remake, reimagining (something like that) of Evil Dead managed to become one of the lucky few.
