I really enjoyed it. If you like hunter s. Then you will probably like it. So pretty much if you liked fear and loathing you will probably enjoy it. Depp is great in the role.
the trailer makes it look like a very shallow (straight to the point film).... but it's anything but that. Especially taking into consideration what happens in the last 20 minutes of it.
" Yeah, I know. News of THE EVIL DEAD remake makes my balls crawl up inside myself. But this is horror news and I do run a horror website. So here it goes. Not too long ago I ran the story that Lily Collins, who was to play the lead in the remake, bailed out on the project, citing “scheduling issues” as the reason for her departure (see the story here). But at least the production is moving somewhat forward (is that a good thing??); a few recently added cast members have joined the party: Jane Levy and Shiloh Fernandez (RED RIDING HOOD) have recently signed on to do battle with the deadites. Now word has it that Lou Taylor is in talks to join on as Eric, “An intense academic whose intellectual curiosity gets him and his friends into trouble.” In other words, Eric opens up the book and releases the deadites!! Here’s a little more on the project:
[THE EVIL DEAD remake] is a reinvention of Sam Raimi’s 1981 cult classic about a group of teens at a remote cabin who discover a Book of the Dead that unleashes demons they can’t control. While the new plot is similar to the original, it is a new take that doesn’t include the Ash character played by Bruce Campbell.
Fede Alvarez is directing from a script he co-wrote with Rodo Sayagues with revisions by Diablo Cody. Raimi, Campbell, and Rob Tapert are producing for Ghost House Pictures, and Sony Pictures will distribute the film.
Wait a minute … originally this was called a ‘remake.’ But this word was tossed aside for the ever-so-popular ‘re-imaging.’ But now they’re throwing around the rarely used ‘reinvention’ jargon. What gives? Soon they’re gonna report that this remake has no connection whatsoever to the original EVIL DEAD!! We’ll see."
