The Evil Dead Remake Is Not the Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience, But It Is Revolting
Rich Juzwiak · 04/08/13 12:39PMFede Alvarez's remake/reboot/reimagining of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead and Evil Dead II respects its source material in a manner that feels perfunctory at times. It flashes to references like it's ticking off a list. Sentimental necklace, check. Chainsaw, check. Necronomicon, check. Flying camera, check. Mirror scare, check. Possessed hand, check. Emotionally manipulative demons, check. Sexual assault by tree, check.
