Evil Dead (2013)

[kickass]

I take back what I said because what I saw wasn't even the real thing. I apologize for my previous comment.

But THIS........this. Wow, I am impressed. I know it's low quality but it looks beautifully terrifying. Holy ****. So many great old-school shots that look like they were filmed a long time ago. I am impressed. This film looks heavy. I hope they don't cut it down to appease the masses lol.

Isn't Ash in this the girl? That's what I read awhile back but not sure if she's just going to be an all new character as the lead.

Yeah I think her names Mia. The aintitcool script review said shes a loose comparison to Ash. [BLACKOUT]Guess shes a drug addict and her friends bring her there to get sober but she does wield a chainsaw at some point so yeah could be[/BLACKOUT]. Probably the same in the sense that they are booth the leads. In a few interviews Campbell really seemed like they want none of the actors to be compared to Ash so they dont have that burden of responsibility.

I do like how they're combining some stuff from Evil Dead 2 like the possessed hand

Yeah, Im surprised they are actually going into ED2 territory. Hope they get that right, that scenes brilliant.

 

[redhawk23]

Its the recreating classic scenes that are hard for me to watch, ya got to do those better or else whats the point? A Chainsaw without Ash is just gonna feel like a let down. Although I suspect the tree scene will be more ****ed up then the original.

If the success of this film means a better chance of Ash returning Ill shell out a ****load of cash to support this film.

People forget that Ash wasn't so prominently featured in the first one. Yeah he was ultimately the last one standing but its not like the whole premise rested in on his shoulders.

If you take the first letter of each of the characters names its spells out [BLACKOUT]DEMON[/BLACKOUT]

They are mixing scenes with ED2 as well. Yeah ED1 doesnt ride on his character as much but the franchise has lasted so long because of him.

Recreating any classic scene with Ash and a chainsaw will be compared.

 

[Thundarr]

This is a little off topic. But have any of you seen this?

Yeah there will be a comparison between the films, its about people facing demons in a cabin. From what I've seen though, this looks legitimately bonkers on its own.

 

[Lone]

There's one guy in the trailer wearing a blue shirt that seemed pretty Ash-y to me.

There's a scene where it looks like he's [BLACKOUT]chainsawing the **** out of somebody[/BLACKOUT] that reminds me of Ash.

 

[obin_gam]

the trailer was ****ing fantastic!" intensive real horror galore!

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

seen he trailer it looks better than expected but still not buying it. i know the original was gory but this just screams quick how can we just make everything extreme.

its still to early to tell but i'm still leaning on the side of meh

 

[Solidus]

And that is what the original did for its time was pushing it to the extreme. I love the Evil Dead trilogy and I'm excited for this. Looks like the tree rape is back looks disturbing and intense like the original.

 

[def28]

Its all gore money shots and man it really feels like that has been absent in horror for along time. Wish it was released this month, getting tired of Paranormal Activity every year.

Hopefully they arent shoving all the awesome gory scenes into the trailer. Then again guess they have to win over the fanbase somehow.

Yeah there will be a comparison between the films, its about people facing demons in a cabin. From what I've seen though, this looks legitimately bonkers on its own.

I dont know, Im still up in the air with it. I like lots of gore so thats a win for me haha. Still has a been there done that feel. Besides the gore and loud trailer music theres nothing going for it yet except that I can point out scenes in the others. Really hope it does kicks ass on its own, and isnt just trying to impersonate Raimi's directing moves and scenes the whole time.

 

[chaseter]

Just because it's gory, that doesn't mean it will be good. People went ape **** over Saw stuff. I forgot this movie was even happening. Still zero percent excited for Cody's involvement.

truthfully as gory as the original was it never really shocked me, and i saw it when i was around 6 just at the hight of the whole video nasties, i guess the hype was overblown

i can see where you guys are coming from and it looks like it been an extremely well put together production, but a lot of the shots just seems to be a case of what will make people sick

Spoiler

the razor+tongue

quick shove it into a scene.

 

[def28]

They really need to push the gore creatively and just make it ****ed up and scary. It needs the gore, if it wasnt there people would be talking even more crap. Its the only thing people are stoked about for now.

ED1 never scared/shocked me growing up either. Its one of my fav horror flicks but it wasnt until I saw ED2 and AOD that I became obsessed with it cause of the mix of humor and gore. Theres some weird **** in those films you cant see anywhere else. Im kinda disappointed everything has to be ultra serious and no camp nowadays, and really cant believe its gonna be absent in this franchise as well now. Thats what made it the cult series it is. Everyone seems to talk **** on campy humor in horror and just want their flicks to be realistic/gritty. Even though that kinda takes away from what alot of these older films brought. Cabin In The Woods owned for that reason.Hope this all works out and turns out to be a legit scary film, thats not just another franchise trying to reboot for some cash.

Has anybody ever noticed something?

Whenever a mass murderer's home is raided, the first Evil Dead is ALWAYS mentioned by the media as part of the killer's DVD collection lol

The original Evil Dead is a great movie for what it was and what it managed to create.

But I'm not sure I'd see this remake for 3 reasons.

No Bruce Campbell
No comedy
And I'm SICK of female protagonists in every horror movie. It's become a cliche now.

But just to see how it holds up against the original, I will.

The trailer added to my excitement of the film. If I had to explain why I am excited, it is:

1. It is an Evil Dead film.
2. Diablo Cody wrote it
2a) Diablo Cody wrote an Evil Dead film.
which is awesome on many levels. It is akin to Mark Gatiss writing a Halloween film.
3. They have purged or have minimalized the slapstick (I consider the original Evil Dead to be separate from ED2 and AOD, even though they have the same characters and similar plot.) ED was a horror film, inspired by the ones in the drive-in at the time, while ED2 was channeling the Three Stooges through a horror film.
4. Return of classic American horror: the slasher icons and classic monsters have been in suspended animation, and lately it has been possession and/or found footage films.
5. Ambiguity. I love the idea of how in the first act the supernatural activity is treated with ambiguity - such as how the claims of seeing said phenomena from the recovering addict are dismissed.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I hope a sequel gets treated like the Evil Dead Regeneration game. Where Ash was institutionalized for murdering his friends by the police. That was realistic...and it's from a game lol

 

[Solidus]

For those excited and...detracted by the fact that Diablo Cody had writing credits, many need to remember she did not write the whole thing. She really just re-wrote most of the dialouge. Which is fine, she has a quick tounge, with the dark humor Evil Dead needs. Many forget that Sam is still involved with this film. So there is that.

And Rodrigo I had no idea you've seen the film....no comedy? You have no idea on that, and with Sam and Bruce being producers on this, I'm sure there will be. They know what's at stake with this film.

And Bruce himself said they don't need to re-tread, and create another Ash, there should only be one, lets go onto new characters.

Diablo Cody wrote a horror movie not too long ago...it sucked.

 

[Rodrigo90]

True, I've jumped the gun.

But the original had hardly any comedy. It was more serious. So will this be just the same and then some?

And an Evil Dead without Ash? I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Yeah, I'm thinking he's the "real" ash-character and the chick is a red herring. Just like the original, the Ash character wasn't the main central point. I think this is Mia's brother who takes her out to the cabin to detox.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Good observation there, Mike.

In the original, you would have thought either Cheryl (Ash's sister) or Scotty was the main character for most of the duration as the focus was on them individually. That was good writing imo.

In a complete reversal of every other genre...

Also the mods don't look kindly upon bootleg material so heads up.

 

[Rodrigo90]

We need some animal as the main protagonist now
