Featured review
Everything the originals were, with a modern spin, and no humor at all, only gore and horror
This may be one of the goriest, and scariest movies of recent history. The original Evil Dead series was gory beyond belief, but it had an odd sort of morbid charisma about it. It was so campy, you could hold marshmallows on skewers up to the screen while it played, and they would be roasted. This remake however, is far from campy. It's dark, intense, violent, shocking, just a horrifying tale of brooding doom.
What makes it partly so scary, is that the main characters are good people just trying to help out Mia, and are completely oblivious (at first) to what evils surround them.
It goes places. The sounds, the visuals, the acting even, is a solid contribution to proof that modern horror is not dead at all, and that audiences can still be shocked and scared.
