So the trailer for The Evil Dead came out.This is a remake of the 1981 horror classic.The original and it's two sequels star Bruce Campbell and are all directed by Sam Raimi.The original involved 5 college students going to a cabin in the woods,and an audio tape releases the Deadites.The second film,Evil Dead II,takes place the next day with Ash(Bruce Campbell remaining the only survivor,and the third,Army of Darkness,involves Ash going back into mideval times to fight the Deadites.I love all three movies,they are all great.But unfortunately,seeing as how remakes are the trend in hollywood nowadays,not even Evil Dead was safe from being remade.
The remake is sort of following the same formula as the original....but there's one problem....
THERE IS NO BRUCE CAMPBELL!!!!!!!!!
Bruce Campbell's character Ash Williams was so iconic,but now he's not going to be in it,which is very disappointing to me.Although he is producing it,so that's gotta count for something.But still,it's not going to be the same without him.
The trailer that came out was a Red Band Trailer,so it's alot more violent that usual trailers.That also seems like what they are concerned about,making it bloodier.That's not always a good thing.Some things in the trailer did look creepy,like that zombie looking girl cutting her tongue and side of face with a knife.They showed a glimpse of a girl being tied up by a alive tree(which,if you've seen the original,you'll remember that controversial scene and what happens next.
That's the problem with remakes,they just want to make things more bloody and gory.But,I consider remakes good if they can do something different from the original and actually surprise me.I don't want a beat for beat movie,because than I can just go and watch the old one instead.
I am looking forward to it,because I do love the original,but I'm scared about how it's going to turn out because I want this to be good.If it's not,I'll always have the original to go back to.But I would like to see a scary movie that's actually scary.There's not alot anymore.This movie comes out April 13,2013.We'll see what happens.
