One thing they can't seem to avoid with these remakes is take the fairly simple plot of the original and make it more complicated.

In the years since this film, Alvarez has, at this point, only directed an episode of the From Dusk Till Dawn TV show, although according to IMDB, a horror film he directed called A Man in the Dark is due out in August of 2016 and he also plans to do a film adaptation of the video game Dante's Inferno, as well as a possible sequel to this film since it did pretty well (because, yeah, let's continue to drag this out it can only get better). Initially, they were going to have him make a big budget sci-fi picture but when that didn't happen, they offered him Evil Dead instead, which he alsoВ co-wrote with Rodo Sayagues. This short was what impressed Sam Raimi and his production company, Ghost House Pictures, enough to where they wanted to work with him. It's a pointless, unoriginal waste of 91 minutes, time that could be much better spent doing just about anything else.ДЄs usual with these remakes, they picked anВ young, unknown director with no experience in features to make the film (why not, for a change, get someone experienced who also loves the original movie?) In this case, it's Fede Alvarez,В a director from Uruguay who'd only done some shorts up to that point, particularly Ataque de Panico ( Panic Attack), a little science fiction shortВ that was reportedly made for only $300 and had Alvarez doing everything, including the visual effects. I was originally going to make this an entry of Movies That Suck but I couldn't really do that since it didn't actually make me mad or bore me tears (although I was disinterested throughout) but, at the same time, it's still not a good movie. Even worse, at least Raimi tried to use cliches and familiar tropes of the genre toВ come up with something unique this is just another generic demon-possession film that steals from The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Asian horror flicks like The Grudge and comes across as nothing less than tired as a result.

I may not really like the original film but, in addition to the gore, it also had Sam Raimi's innovative directing style and some nice bits of atmosphere to compensate for the meager budget, whereas this $17 million film (the biggest budget the series has ever gotten) is just another dime-a-dozen, visually murky remake with some Abercrombie and Fitch-like teenagers as the cast. This film does have great gore effects, especially during the climax, and it's nice that they decide to stick with practical effects rather than over-use CGI, but that's all it has going for it. and that perspectiveВ is that the general consensus was right.

I watched it a second time before doing this review simply because I don't like reviewing something when I've only seen it once but, regardless, thisВ could possiblyВ beВ the freshest perspective I've ever brought to one. But, when I decided to review this franchise,В I figured, 'Might as well talk about all the movies while I'm at it,' and so, I found it online to watch the night I finished my review of Evil Dead II.

If you've seen my review on the slasher movie The Prowler (aka Rosemary's Killer), you'd know that good gore effects alone aren't enough to save a movie for me and so, after that summation, I definitelyВ was not at all interested in seeing this. While there were some people who truly enjoyed it, the general consensus seemed to be that it had some really impressive gore but the rest of the movie was completely forgettable. It didn't look any different from the numerous other remakes of 70's and 80's horror films and what little I heard about it after its release confirmed that feeling. Not being a fan of this franchise, its development had no impact on me whatsoever and the TV ads that I saw in the time leading up to its release didn't pique my interest either. This is a prime example of a movie that, had it not been for this blog, I would have never seen. You haven't experience many films, have you?
