What did you guys think? I wasn't too impressed with it. It wasn't awful, per se, but.... I dunno, it just never really connected with me in any meaningful way.

Haven't seen it yet, but I really want to...

How's the technical special effects though? I'm sure you can discuss that w/o spoilering...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5482537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5482537.page GMT Re:Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5482615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5482615.page GMT Evil Dead (remake)
I love the original and it's campy offspring and I still enjoyed this remake. It was original enough to not make me feel like I'd already seen this movie yet very true to the spirit of it's origin.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5482789.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5482789.page GMT Re:Evil Dead (remake) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483630.page GMT Re:Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483639.page GMT Re:Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483851.page GMT Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5483935.page GMT Evil Dead (remake)

No - not at all. Maybe that's what was missing. For a moment I thought one of them would, but he never really got into it enough.

Remember... Evil Dead was modeled in "theme" to the first Evil Dead... not the campy-ish Evil Dead 2 that everyone loved.

Having said that... I'm going to see this move without any prejudice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5485307.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5485307.page GMT Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5486823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5486823.page GMT Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5487972.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5487972.page GMT Evil Dead (remake) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5488341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5488341.page GMT Evil Dead (remake)

I'm pretty sure he was making a joke guys. It's evident with him mocking Sam Raimi, the guy who created the series. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5489588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5489588.page GMT Evil Dead (remake)

I thought it may be a "tongue in cheek" moment there... o.O

I guess the key to this is to try and forget Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness, and just think of it as a modern version of the original.

Yup... going to see it at the Dinner&Theater AMC off Olive on Friday... that way, I'll have copious amounts of beer too ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5490386.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519463/5490386.page GMT Evil Dead (remake)

I see you also used that phrase. It's very apt in this case. There was nothing wrong with the movie, it just never really made me feel anything, with perhaps the exception of the tongue\boxcutter.

So far as considering this a remake of the original Evil Dead - or, as Sam Raimi said, how he'd have done it if he had today's technology: I had long thought there were some movies I would like to have remade... well, remade isn't the exact word. I have long thought there were movies in my youth I'd like to see recreated with modern special effects but without changing other stuff. Then they released The Thing in 2011; I movie that was number one on the list of such films, and I realized how naive I was. Yes, it was a prequel, not a remake, but the point is that - and this is so obvious it will make me a fool to even say it aloud - the special effects were largely secondary to Keith David and Kurt Russell, something no amount of CGI can replace.
