They're Baaaaaaaaaack

I can not reiterate enough times just how much I love scary movies, y'all! I seriously love them so much. AAAANNNDDDDDDDD I watched a new one just for y'all this weekend.

Now, a while back, I did a review fr a scary movie called The Evil Dead, which is a cult classic that helped start the whole campy-horror genre back in the 70s. For those of you that haven't read that review (or you just need a refresher) I. HATED. IT. I gave it the worst review ever and swore to never watch that movie again. Well.... Guess what. I watched it again.

Sam Raimi (the director) has remade The Evil Dead and it came out this past weekend (But now it is Evil Dead, dropping the "The" from the title) and it made claims that it would be one of the scariest movies you will ever see. So my friends convinced me to go see it with them, despite my warnings of how awful the original was. However, before I went to see it, I decided to rewatch the original so I could adequately compare the two just for y'all. Look at the sacrifices I make for this blog... Take note of my dedication.

Anywho... Rewatched the original and it was just as corny and stupid (and definitely not scary) as I remember it being. Then, I get to the movie, and after the first 10-15 minutes I start to think, "man, this is actually going to be very legit". And it was for the most part. I still didn't think it was scary, but keep in mind that scary movies don't freak me out at all. For someone who gets scared during Horror Films, you will probably cry a bit. Also, I have a very HIGH gore tolerance and there were scenes that honestly made me want to puke. this movie was EXTREMELY GORY.

Now that all of that has been said, this movie was still extremely corny like the original one, but I'm loving some of the zombie pick up likes such as "Come and kiss me your dirty B****" or "I can see your dirty f***ing soul". Oh, did I mention this movie likes its expletives???

Now, in comparison to the original, the basically kept the concept of the movie the same. The girl still gets raped by a tree and turns into a zombie killing all of her friends and what not. However, they did change the ending and the sole survivor may not be who you expect! Also, the premise behind the story has changed a bit too. The characters are at the cabin not for a vacation, but to help their friend quit using drugs.

Overall, I was much more impressed with this movie than the original - but I didn't exactly have high expectations. It could've used a lot less gore though... (3 Stars)
