7/10

While I initially had my doubts with this horror remake, having loved the first one, I found it immensely entertaining and very faithful to the original. The practical effects were astonishingly grotesque and the film itself is very creepy. I can honestly say that this is a good horror movie and a decent remake. However, it is not Evil Dead. No modern remake will ever capture the sheer raw intensity of the 1981 classic, but this one did try very, very hard. For that, it deserves praise.

Whereas most horror remakes fail miserably, this one excels in every way imaginable. This is a gory, violent, and fun romp in the Evil Dead franchise. The story works in setting everything up and the characters are actually somewhat likable. I absolutely love this film and am proud to say that I have an Evil Dead film for my generation.
