Evil Dead (2013)

[obin_gam]

saw the red band trailer just, and have only one word to say to it...

Spoiler

oh come on, you know it

 

[O'Haire]

Trailer did nothing for me. Probably just skip this one.

 

[War Party]

Definitely like what I'm seeing. The tone of the original seems to be there and it just looks so wonderfully gory!

 

[obin_gam]

That was some disgusting ****. I like Raimi and i enjoy the evil dead films for what they are...fun. This doesnt look like fun it looks like more torture porn.

have you seen the original? it was straight up horror with minimum amount of "fun". dead by dawn and army of darkness were fun yes, but the original? lol

Are people forgetting that the first one exists? I mean what's going on here?!

I take it you never saw the original.

I ****ing love the trailer. Its everything I hoped for and as a huge "Evil Dead" fan (and Jane Levy fan) I'm beyond excited! Everything is there. The car, boomstick, chainsaw, blood....everything. I have no complaints. And I think if anyone has any they're just hating. But that's me.

Bring it on!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Looks to be full on nightmare mode. Yikes!

Yeah I'm kinda baffled why people seems so surprised at the seriousness of this film The first Evil Dead is one of the most hardcore straight up horror flicks made, it's dark bloody and violent and it's great because of that.

My own favourite is the second one, but you cant really compare any one in the series to any one. I see them as this:
The Evil Dead: Horror
Evil Dead II: Horror Comedy
Army of Darkness: Dark Adventure Comedy

 

[Marvel Spider]

Liked the trailer. Hopefully, this is good (unlike most horror remakes).

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Either yes, or they haven't seen it at all. This is drawing a lot of "wtf this doesn't look funny" comments on other boards I frequent.

Yes i saw the original. I like the original. Its cheap, homemade, goofy schlock with fake blood and cheap makeup. It has a certain charm about it. Its got tongue planted firmly in cheek like all of Raimi's horror films. This is sick on a whole other level and isnt even in the same vein as the original.

The original was a film that overcame its limitations and went on to become a cult classic. Its story wasnt innovative, it was goofy, and it had a rape tree lol. But damn you had to love it for trying to do so much with so little.

What is this trying to do besides be generic tortoure porn movie 1001? Cause thats all i see.

I know you've already tried to clarify what you're talking about here but Evil Dead 1 is purely disgusting. It has pipes of blood and fluids squirting through the walls. It has a woman apparently raped by a tree. It is squarely a disgusting film.

Its some how ruined for you because now they can more realistically pull of slicing a tongue in half?

 

[Balthus Dire]

Yeah...the original is not goofy whatsoever. If anything, the implied goofiness would come from the special effects, but that was budgetary reasons and not intended to be goofy looking. It's a straight up serious horror movie.


This looks amazing.

Fake as hell looking fluids and playdo on screen. Thats what the original has. I realize the original was a product of limitations but thats what i like about it. Thats what gives it that charm. Its nothing great. In fact its pretty stupid. But im endeared to it because Raimi was able to make something out of so little and succeeded with it. This remake just puts all the original had on screen but in a far less endearing way. Gone is the movie that did a lot with a little. Here is the generic gore fest torture porn.

Rarely am i not on board with remakes but this remake just exposes how generic the whole story of the original evil dead is. I prefer the charm of the original. This just looks like everything else on the torture porn shelf. Some malevolent force acts on the teens and whoops look now little janie is slicing at her body. Oh the unoriginal horror.

 

[redhawk23]

^ I'm just saying that evil dead was never much more than that to begin with.

What's the budget on this new film anyway?

 

[Marvolo]

Yep and this remake just makes that all the more obvious.

 

[redhawk23]

Well then why all the bemoaning?

 

[Roose Bolton]

*Sean Connery Henry Jones voice* "THEN WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?!"

 

[Marvolo]

Cause moreso than eve i think a remake was pointless. But then again for me personally the only redeeming factor i find in evil dead 1 is its 'a lot with a little' approach.

That being said, il watch the trailer again let it settle and come back to it and try to get a different view of it. Right now i think its generic and pointless but that might change. From what ive heard about the script there is some stuff i like so who knows i may like the film. We'll see. I may have been too quick to judge.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Yes, in 2012, ED1 is kind of goofy, but ED1 was incredibly gory for it's time. The only difference (that I can see so far) between the two is that the production values are better here. I don't think it's fair to damn a remake because of the inevitable difference in production quality of movies 30 years apart.

 

[Tanin]

This movie is looking awesome so far.
I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this film for being a good horror film.

 

[Kar]

So....basically you don't like how this movie is taking advantage of a bigger budget? I'm not understanding.

You keep mentioning the first movie being humorous and charming...I think we were watching two different ED1 but I take it that that's just how you viewed it which is cool. This movie looks like the same plot and situations with just new characters and I'm fine with that. I was honestly expecting something looking like "Cabin In the Woods" and I'm SO glad I was wrong. This movie is clearly going to capitalize on the gore from the first one. And you're mentioning torture porn. I think you're just saying that because of how the movie LOOKS as opposed to what you saw. Everything that they showed in the trailer is basically a replica of the first one. I don't get how it charming in ED1 for a girl to get raped by a tree but here its torture porn.

 

[terry78]

Well, they ain't skimping on the splatter, that much is clear. I will see it though just to see what this guy does with the material.

A LOT of people have not seen the first one ..In fact the second movie is debatable as a simple re-make with more Raimi humor...(IE a more completed vision)

EVIL DEAD I was an insignificant film..it would have largely been forgotten save for its famed "tree scene" and the subsequent Evil Dead 2 popularity and the controversy with that. I'll get flamed for this but you go ask 100 horror fans what they think of EDI and of the 10 percent that have even seen it will mostly agree ED2 is the defining film.

EVIL DEAD 2 was what made Raimi and made this into a "franchise" potential..so this reboot looks like , yeah it may be true to the tone of the original..but its not true to what made the Evil Dead work. (and it's honestly never worked as a huge box office seller)

SO you all can get over yourselves and how EDI is some sort of hidden gem...it's a pretty bad flick.

PS and it IS hypocritical to damn a remake within the ED films when the best movie came from a remake of the prior film.
