Evil Dead

It’s ultimately everything a modern horror movie should be.

The setup and geography are consistent with the original, though the film never makes the mistake of trying to rebottle the lightning that electrified Sam Raimi's movie.

Boasts way better production values than the penny-pinching 1981 original and conceivably could delight genre fans who have never seen the first version or its previous remakes/sequels. But it’s bound to play best with those who catch Alvarez’s many wink-wink allusions to Raimi’s picture.

It is nowhere near as creepy as the recent indie horror "V/H/S," but it is a full-bloodedly grisly and macabre film that zaps over a few scares.

What really matters is seeing these pretty people get put through the gory wringer, and once the unholy spirit comes calling, Evil Dead more than delivers.

This isn't just a horror movie with gore - it's a gore movie, period. Blood is its raison d'etre. It's not scary. It's not shocking. It just wallows in viscera. Ho-hum. Pass the ketchup.

This isn't a strict remake of Sam Raimi's hugely influential 1981 horror classic, but it does include the basic framework and some visual nods to the original. On its own, it's an irredeemable, sadistic torture chamber reveling in the bloody, cringe-inducing deaths of some of the stupidest people ever to spend a rainy night in a remote cabin in the woods.

what are the old EVIL DEAD games and movies next to this one. to make this movie they used about 10 trucks of fake blood

Five friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. (6)

Remake of the cult horror film of the 80s directed by Sam Raimi, "The House " by Fede Alvarez , against all odds is a decent horror film that offers an ' excellent and essential component splatter. At the technical level is almost perfect . The direction , although it was entrusted to a novice , it is discreet and overflowing with good ideas , the photograph appears almost bloody , and the script manages to convince thanks to its simplicity and the desire to not take itself too seriously . Flaw , however, in the staging that can not be grim and dark like the original, this also because of the little picturesque scenery . It must be said , too, that despite the past thirty years from the original, this remake fails minimally to strike the same terror , and especially to recreate that dark feature of the whole trilogy, Raimi , who took part in the production and implementation of the remake with Bruce Campbell. Surely the touch of Raimi it can be seen in the fabulous splatter scenes , but the staging is definitely not the result of his creativity. In conclusion, surely "The House " by Fede Alvarez taken as a single film can only be a good product, but it absolutely does not stand comparison with the 1981 original , directed by a director but not a genius ....

Evil Dead na visão de alguém que nunca assistiu os filmes anteriores é... Cansado! Sim, eu tenho a noção de isso aqui trata-se de um remake, e eles devem seguir algumas ideia propostas pela obra original, mas poxa, é serio que em 2013 eles acharam que esse tipo de enredo colaria? Ok, para um casal que quer se assustar no cinema ou alguns amigos que querem dar risada, talvez o filme funcione, mas de resto, é impossível levar a serio. O filme tenta te assustar a todo momento, com cortes bruscos utilizando o barulho agudo de ferramentas ou seja lá o que for. Você não pula da cadeira porque há uma tensão, e sim porque o filme está desinteressante e o barulho é tão alto que se um urso de pelúcia aparecesse na tela, eu me assustaria da mesma forma. Os personagens são burros, incompreensíveis e convenientes. Claro que isso faz parte de um filme de terror, mas nem no quarto filmes a formula cansa? A casa é bizarra, mas nada é realmente icônico. Ela só serve de um plano de fundo, visto que a geografia da mesma é completamente ignorada. O gore é legalzinho. É exagerado, mas até ai udo bem, só que não é nada além disso. Não da nojo, nem aflição - porque estamos pouco se lascando para os personagens e quem vive ou morre. Evil Dead é exatamente o que um filme de terror moderno não deveria ser.

If anyone thinks this film is good they have no idea what a horror movie is. This movie brings so much shame to the name "Evil Dead". Its pretty much a really bad version of the original written for idiots. The "scares" were more then predictable and giving a "face" to the evil presence (demon girl and tree slime thing) was just stupid, it worked way better when the evil presence was just that, and evil presence show with good camera work and practical effects.
