Why it’s HorroRated
The 2013 Evil Dead is the rare remake that earns its existence by doing something the original couldn't: take the material with complete seriousness. Fede Alvarez commits to practical effects and builds to a finale that's overwhelming. It doesn't replace Raimi's film but it doesn't need to. A brutal and confident debut.
Synopsis
Fede Alvarez's remake takes the Raimi original seriously rather than reverently and commits to practical effects throughout. The finale is overwhelming and it doesn't need the nostalgia of the source material to work. A brutal and confident debut.
