Evil Dead Remake!

[Guest]

It looks nothing like Evil Dead though. Where's the humour, or the inventive camera tricks, or Ash? It feels like any other generic slasher flick to me.

It looks like all of those Platinum Dunes horror remakes.

I'm not going to be bothering with this.

Evil Dead 1 never had any humour really, it was a straight up horror and this is also a remake of that not number 2. Also I dont think an ED2 remake would work so well with todays audiences, its very much a cult film in its style and humour.

[HarMGM]

Not to mention others have tried to mix horror and comedy like Evil Dead 2 and very few of those movies are able to stand up to it.

I think that must depend a lot on your sense of humour. At a special cinema screening about 5 years ago the room was filled with laughter much of the way through. I suppose maybe its less hahaha and more wh ha ha hooah.

This looks... really good. Which I never expected to say.

We talking about 1or 2 here? Plus it was probably filled with ED fans not your average cinema-goer.

The first film is actually pretty scary, especially the first time you watch it. There are bizarre moments of dark comedy, yes. Nothing to suggest that won't be in this one either, it certainly looks nicely over the top.

Though I hate Army of Darkness, I still wish we'd got a proper Evil Dead 4.

Funnily enough Army Of Darkness is my favourite of the lot, I absolutely love that film. Both endings are cracker as well. Good times and memories as a kid going to see that at the cinema with my parents.

That's the problem with it for me - it's a kids' film (which I wasn't expecting when I saw it), and isn't as awesomely fucked up as the best scary kids' film, Return to Oz.

There are some really good moments in it, mind you.

Aye to be fair I saw that first before watching the first two, I love them all but I guess I had no expectations with the series when I saw the third one.

Evil dead 2 was pretty much a remake of the first one anyway, i've watched it so many times as my brother was obsessed by it when he was younger.

I meant the first one. Well, being fans that was kinda my point as most got it and pretty much at the same bits whereas with your average audience that rarely happens for the more subtle /unusualfunny/funny noise bits that arent necessarily signposted .There was a lovely rise and fall of giggles too almost like a poofart wee gig .

You hate AOD?! You are a deadite to me.

[moosegrinder]

It looks like Evil Dead for the post 2010 horror generation. I expect it to be mediocre.

Yep - Looks like an update of a good flick with Loreal models in it instead of people. Shit, that is.

[Lothar Hex]

Just saw the trailer.

[V3zna]

The trailer for this looks really good. I'm getting a Hills Have Eyes remake vibe and that film was superb.

[GODSTEETH]

That looks awful

Pretty much. ED1 was a real nasty,bleak piece of work which was actually pretty scary. It was from ED2 that all the wacky stuff started off.

I like the look of this remake.

[Goose]

I quite liked the trailer but this poster looks as generic as possible, a Platinum Dunes type of thing.

[Captain Kelsten]

So many horror films opt for the woman facing away from us thing on their posters. It's almost as cliché as the genre itself.

Regardless, that poster is nowhere near as iconic as these:

[cassidy]

I quite like the balls of the poster. Will it live up to the claim.

[jon_cybernet]

£5 says no.

[11 Herbs 'n' Spices]

I quite like the balls of the poster.

Yeah, I love that tagline. Reminds me of those old horror movies that would make outrageous claims.

The design is awful though. It's all of the shop. Looks like a very early mock up.

New red-band trailer:

[rumblecat]

Looks nice and nasty. Going to have to mentally wipe most of that trailer from my mind though because they give away way too much of the movie in it.
