Dies to Removal

I'm a pretty big fan of the original Evil Dead series. I actually think Evil Dead 2 strikes the best balance between the comedy and humor elements of the franchise.

I also saw the remake--I liked it OK, but it was missing something. I really disliked the actors and the attempt to create an emotionally relevant backstory for the protagonists--it falls very flat. Not many surprises (a few, especially towards the end). Good special effects and plenty gory. Eh.

Thank you for your opinion. Now I'm sold even more to watch it. It will be released on the 9th of May here!

The special effects were terribad, though.

In Evil Dead 2 they are even worse to me, but I think that in the 2nd episode it's a good choise since the "comedy" turns in that movie.

But the mini-Ash in Army of Darkness is priceless.

Bruce Campbell is a whore.

Okay seriously, I gotta know what is with the hate on for Bruce Campbell?

I have no idea. Seriously, just the sight of the dude makes my skin crawl, and that's all I know.

I will say that the fact that I can see him in damn near any movie, regardless of the subject matter, is what makes me call him a whore.
(I'm looking at YOU Oz, The Great and Powerful!)

I wanted to ask
the same question. Thanks for your explanation, to me it's the same with Audrey Tatou. I can't stand her.

I love horror movies so much that I enjoyed House of Wax and My Bloody Valentine.

If a horror movie makes me jump, I liked it.

Good god, you're for sure a fan. I love horrors, but those are too much for me too. I prefer much more "so bad it's so good" (Braindead anyone?) that bad-made horrors.

if it's an original script and is scary or at least well written then i love horror, i hate rehashes though.

i'll take a hellraiser 11 over another halloween remake any day

I think that it's halfway between a remake and an original story from the reviews I've read here.

Personally, I trust Sam Raimi to have enough love for his original to do both
it and the new one justice. He's like the Kevin Smith of horror movies, he'd rather make the movie he wants or not make it at all. But then again, I'm completely biased, I've seen the original Evil Dead like a billiondy times so even if it is just a rehash with, you know, a budget, I'm pretty sure I'd love it.

I agree with you. I've seen much more than twice Army of Darkness too. Bruce is an idol. Hail to the king, baby!

This got pretty decent reviews so I'll check it out. Good horror films are so hard to find.

So true, so true.... The best one for me are from the '70-'80s, but also some older and newer are really good. My favourite one by the way is "Inferno", by Dario Argento. That was the period when he was still able to do some real movies.

I'm really, really excited about this remake. It seems one of the few done well (isn't it true, Texas Chainsaw Massacre?). The trailer are.... somehow disturbing. And I like that atmosphere, it was the same in the original Evil Dead. There some rumors too about a sequel and... Army of Darkness 2. You know why? HUGE SPOILER AHEAD, ATTENTION. Can't wait to see it, here in Italy will be release on 9th of May.

P.S.: I'm a fan of horror/splatter movie in general, so I'd be glad to enlarge the discussion on the whole genre.
