Sam Raimi started his career with this genre defining movie, now Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez brings the terrifically blood curdling remake to the silver screens, and oh man it is a fabulous movie. The film delves deeper into the myths behind the book and gives more of a ritual of how the demon comes unto the earth.
The cast all round is fabulous, Jane Levy is fabulous in her portrayal of Mia. Shiloh Fernandez is terrific in his. Lou Taylor, Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore create stunning and interesting characters to surround our leads with. As a fan of the original films this remake was true to the original and went on its own path to define itself and become a truly original horror film. Just when you think the movie is over the film hits you and does a total 360. It's a true masterpiece of a horror film, one of the top remakes I have seen in some time. For me, this film ranks up there with remakes of The Crazies and The Ring. The characters are different, more developed and go on different paths. This new Evil Dead keeps true to its roots and should defiantly be considered the best that this franchise could offer. I loved how the characters were depicted, how the story had more depth than compared to the original and I absolutely rejoiced at the end credit sequence. Stay after the credits, I mean this!!! I will give up my soul to see a sequel come to fruition.
The Evil Dead 2013 gets a 5 out of 5!
