First time director Fede Alvarez won original director Raimi's approval, and for the most part channels much of what made the first film so special.īy that I mean two things - the gore and the ambiance. As with other remakes initially deemed unnecessary like DAWN OF THE DEAD (200 4) and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2003), there was a lot riding on how well received this particular do-over would be. The original EVIL DEAD is among a small contingent of devoutly worshiped horror pictures whose fans are as dedicated to it as the Deadites are to swallowing your soul. Upon opening the gr isly volume, one member of the group unleashes an evil onto the world after reading incantations found within its bloody pages. They discover some bizarre artifacts in the basement including a book wrapped in barbed wire. Aside from a few quibbles and a drastic left field turn during the conclusion, Fede Alvarez has ultimately summoned a daring demon of a remake that pays a great deal of homage to its source, and takes some big chances in the process.įriends converge on an isolated cabin in the woods to help one of theirĬircle cope with recovering from a drug addiction. The newer Deadites look like little more than zombies who occasionally indulge in as much self-mutilation to th eir own bodies as those trying to escape them do.
Curiously, these Evil Dead do not possess the macabre countenance that made the original demons so memorable. The photographic gymnastics and gore of Raimi's classic are paid gruesome tribute, but the scares are few and far between in the new version. The Short Version: The new EVIL DEAD can be summed up in four words - Piss, Puke, Pus and Plasma.
