Not Scary ... Not particularly gory ... And NO FUN !!!


And why is that ... The Actors ( ? ) ... Obviously this lot just flopped out of some hideous soap ... One blonde one is so superfluous that she has 3 lines and is obviously just there to die ... After which she still does very little ... They are just characterless ... The original was hardly high on character building but each of them brought their own characters to the part and threw themselves into it completely ... Bruce Campbell was a great lead character ... The innocuous little nobody in this that plays the main lead I couldn't even be bothered to look up ... Forgotten already ... So CASTING ... CRAP
Writing ... Can't even remember a line of the dialogue ... So lets say totally pointless
Direction ... Some seriously bad copies of the original inventive camera moves ( how can they do this worse with a budget !!!!! ) ... Pretty static and flat all round ... Why did this guy get to direct ?
THE GORE ... The original is gorier and more gross in a daft way ... This was pretty feeble ... Their is a lot of blood rain but so what
At the 70 minute mark it completely looses it when the lead male does something so pathetically stupid you want to leave the cinema ... Just totally inexcusable ... After that they obviously had no idea where to take it and its GLARINGLY obvious
The End ... Well there isn't one really
Best part is before the opening credits where it actually showed potential ... Once the main characters are introduced forget it
Watch the original ... Its still more scarey and fun than this, though we are all going to watch it once ... But I saw it yesterday and quite frankly it is already disappearing from my memory
Watch again ? ... No

I liked how the movie started, liked the gory parts .. but for me the original is more raw ... to this date every time i see the pencil scene gives me the chills .... something i didn't really experienced on this one ... the tongue scene was cool but it didnt feel very disturbing ...

The trees rape scene was again more raw in the original, girl running half naked was awesome! ,.... , and the way the long haired dude manages to decrypt the passages on the necronomicon felt very forced .... again the original really is flawless here.

what really destroyed this remake was the absurd decisoin making of the characters .. the brother is a complete !d!ot and the final 30 minutes are garbage and teen material only ... felt like they didn't know how to finish this ....

it was fun and had good moments but nothing to say this is one of the best horror movies ever .... or say is as good as the original ..... I ssaw this version with the wife (she hadnt seen any Evil dead) because I was curious about it ... should've shown her the original ...
