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.
