The plot is as follows: Evil Dead opens its nightmare as we see that a pair of siblings by the name of Mia and her brother David have decided to head out to their family’s old and located off the beaten path cabin.
EVIL DEAD 2013 ASH WILLIAMS PLUS
By that I mean whilst this film can’t come close to how bold the original was and it may not be able to ensnare the distinct spirit that the original possessed, some of the same dilemmas that plagued Chainsaw, it still has a style and intensity all its own plus a wonderful excessive amount of blood and gore that if you are into that will be a delight, but otherwise will be as nightmarish as reading from the Necronomicon and then wondering why those tree branches seem to be looking at you with quite the creepily abnormal interest… Indeed, when comparing it to other remakes from the past 20+ years, this one is very much like the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now from an objective perspective, I will say that this take on Evil Dead is somewhere in the middle, but leaning more towards “better” rather than “catastrophically devastating train wreck”.
EVIL DEAD 2013 ASH WILLIAMS MOVIE
That is because whilst some will see this as not necessary and outright slap in the face to what came before whilst others will be able to look past the inevitable comparisons and appreciate this movie for the ruthless sense of pacing, the hard to watch gruesome and quite bloody moments, terrific work behind the camera, and odes to the original whilst also going down its own blood-drenched route. Yet even though helmer Fede Alvarez’s take on the property is lacking in a few areas, I still think this will be the kind of material that lovers of the Horror genre will take to like a chainsaw to some Deadites although in the process audiences will most likely find themselves tore up in regards to their thoughts on this film in general.

Indeed to say that is some powerhouse allies to have in their corner would be quite the….groovy undead understatement. This trio, in case you didn’t know is, is the star, director, and producer, respectively, of the original Evil Dead, the terrific follow-up that was Evil Dead 2, and the boom-stick and Medieval Times-promoting Army of Darkness. I say this because this take on the iconic horror film franchise that started in 1981 was both produced, and its director chosen, by the trio of Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Rob Tapert. I feel it is a safe assumption to make that even though there are very few horror remakes which are given both creative input from, and blessed by, those who made the original such an iconic property that the 2013 soft reboot, remake, reimagining (something like that) of Evil Dead managed to become one of the lucky few.

In particular, everyone - demons included - tended to be very lippy and cheerfully crazy.MPAA Rating: R/ Genre: Horror/ Stars: Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Elizabeth Blackmore, Jim McLarty, Phoenix Connolly, Sian Davis, Stephen Butterworth, Karl Willetts, Ash Williams/ Runtime: 92 minutes

The film became a hit, in part for its innovative camerawork, extreme gory mayhem (so much dismemberment and karo syrup fake blood!) and a few surprising black comedy elements. Thanks to a tape recording of incantations from the Naturom Demonto, a Sumerian version of the Book of the Dead, evil demons and spirits descend upon them, as they do. Ash and four other college students go to a cabin, which, by now is clearly never going to be on our vacation destination list. "Ash" Williams for the first time in the franchise. Groovy!

The short was good enough to draw $90,000 in funding for a full-length feature, which became. In 1978, friends Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell decided to take a chance and make a short comedy-horror film called Within the Woods starring Campbell as one of the hapless vacationers who gets slaughtered while spending a weekend in a remote cabin.
