I searched for this on here and couldn’t find it posted anywhere. Here you go.
(Extremely gory, NSFW)
I got more pleasure watching that than I ever expected. Seems very true to the spirit of the original.
Man, they shot that down pretty quickly.
I’m guessing, by Lobot’s comment, that it isn’t going to engage in the slapstick common to the 2nd and 3rd movies.
Yeah, I didn’t see much room for comedic elements, even though one part in particular is borrowed from a very funny scene in Evil Dead II.
Personally, I’m a fan of the fun vibe of Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness and Drag Me to Hell, which is why I’m still not overly enthused about this remake. Still, seeing “the force” zooming through the woods in the trailer was a bit of a buzz.
Well, that sucks.
It’s available legitimately here.
But here’s my summary:
- Suffers irretrievably from a lack of hot young (and hilarious) Bruce Campbell.
- Looks like it takes itself waaaaay too seriously. Come on guys, the cheesiness was half the fun!
Hm, I want the old style cheesy Bruce Campbell horror :mad:
I will wait until it hits cable.
I have never seen the first Evil Dead film, but I’ve had the impression that it was intended more seriously than the sequels. Is this not true?
Do yourself a favor and see Evil Dead 1 and 2, at least.
The first had a couple moments of dark absurdity, but it was nowhere near as slapstick as the second one.
It’s not completely without humour, but it’s a much more straightforward horror film than 2 or Army of Darkness (which was barely horror at all by that point).
I’m betting they cut out the tree rape.
The tree rape scene is in the linked trailer.
When they got to that part I started laughing, remembering “Raping Tree” on the monster board in Cabin In The Woods.
er… they cleaned it up a bit by calling it " angry molesting tree ". go figure.
I feel like my soul has just been swallowed.
Maybe I’ll go see that. Yeah, and maybe I’m a Chinese jet pilot
I keep thinking of The Giving Tree sketch from Robot Chicken. “Oh did I say ‘Giving Tree’? I meant ‘Raping Tree’! MWUHAHA!”
So what? No Ash? Or is that bearded looser supposed to be Ash?
Evil Dead was bottled lightning. What’s the point in making a better produced but otherwise hollow remake.
Oh yeh, money.
Taken out of context, this could be said to apply to Evil Dead 2.
I think they should just continue with the nomenclature and call this one Evil Dead 3.
Werd. I don’t need higher rez gore or, really, any of this.
