'Evil Dead' (2013) movie review

You can read my review of the film here.









Pros

- Stronger pretense for the characters being at the cabin that gives them a reason to stay and ignore warnings.

- Call backs to the original movie are well done and done just frequently enough to pay homage without relying on them too heavily to get viewers through the movie.

- Handful of creepy or emotional moments peppered throughout the film


Cons


- Most of the movie is just torture porn

- Characters are largely flat.

- The cause of the spirits being reawakened is head desk levels of stupid



Overall


I can understand the rationale behind wanting to remake a low budget horror movie with a bigger budget.  Sadly, said budget increase led to an inverse relationship in regards to the movie's charm.  There's little to like here and I wouldn't recommend it.  Stick with the originals.
