I went to see the Evil Dead with my girlfriend. Both of us are big fans of the original movie as well as the horror genre in general. The both us left the theater feeling disappointed by this film. This movie can't really be called a remake but more like a reimagining of the original. This movie lacked the dark comedic aspects of the original. It's geared more toward the younger generation who haven't seen the original trilogy of the Evil Dead franchise. I would say that if you're going to see this film do not go in thinking that this film is an update of the original film but more of an interpretation bearing it's name. It'll make for a fun night out so long as you have other plans after you leave the theater.
