LRA writes: Let's face it, a remake of the 1981 horror classic The Evil Dead was inevitable. We just so happened to luck out that not only were the original films creative talent such as Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell on board as producers to oversee their baby get a new face lift, but we also really scored with first time director Fede Alvarez at the helm. What Alvarez has accomplished here is no short of a miracle. By taking the extremely simple premise of The Evil Dead and adapting it so that it wouldn't tarnish the franchise's reputation but also carve out a new path for itself, Alvarez and company have made a remake that is every bit as good as its predecessors while also improving on it in the meantime.
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
yes fede alvarez did a suprisingly good job in retaining the integrity of evil dead. having raimi and campbell at his back is a blessing.
