I was fine until I saw the knife bit at the end, I had just finished cutting up an apple.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Looks great.

 

A proper horror.

[Benzo-13]

No Ash in it is crap.

[Swipe]

Didn't even know that was happening.

[Clay Davis]

is Raimi involved in any way with this?

One of the producers, and screenplay.

[Nate.]

It'll be w***.

 

Mutilation scenes aren't what made the original great. Hostel with the Undead.

 

Plus no Ash is a bad thing.

original red band trailer has been pulled - anyone who saw it, is it the same as this

 

 

looks alright though, not as scary as I'd expected from the above

Yes, Macca. The clue was in the fact that the one you've linked to has a red band on it.

Are you referring to Nebraska Wuss there?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

indeed I am

[Nathan Explosion]

Thought I'd resurrect this (see what I did there?) as it's out soon

 

And here's a trailer for another horror remake later this year (if you've never heard of or seen the original, or read the book, then don't watch the trailer cos' it's spoiler-tastic)

 

[Stevie H]

that looks like it could be a really good remake actually.

Yep - was quite surprised with the trailer, as I didn't expect it to be good at all. Concentrating a lot on the mother/daughter relationship, which is good.

 

It's my favourite horror film, just ahead of Evil Dead, so if they manage to pull off at least one of them then I'll be happy.

certainly picked two damned good actresses in carrie to have a crack at it.

Going to see Evil Dead 2 in a few weeks, in a park as part of the Belfast Film Festival. Should be fun.

[Raj]

Have a feeling that this new Evil Dead is going to be bad. Didnt like that trailer for it

The Carrie one looks good though

[SkippyjonJones]

i know I shouldn't but I have some hope for the Carrie remake....

[goodrobotusses]

A non-funny Evil Dead seems kinda pointless to me.

Wow they really did just put the whole plot in it.

Take a look at the trailer for the original

Well... there you go.

The original Evil Dead is great, and I'd go as far as saying it's a classic of the horror genre. The geekiest thing I own is my Evil Dead limited edition book of the dead dvd. The DVD case is a tactile rubber recreation of the book from the film, with artwork on the pages inside. Geeky but I love it.

 

Evil Dead II was basically a higher-budget comic remake of the first, and now presumably the new one is a 'serious' remake of the first. Don't really see the point as the first one was perfect anyway, but then I don't see the point of remakes anyway when the original is already seen as a classic or cult-classic. It had a mix of real horror, gross-out and that level of comedy where you giggle more out of nervousness rather than the slapstick of the 2nd... in fact, I don't think any other horror film has ever found that level of balance between scary and fun so finely as the original.
