That logo actually looks pretty cool. Uh.uhh, I mean, fuck this movie!

Hope it is fun too. Not just jump out the seat/gore stuff.

Standing at a urinal...? Looks like the post-unfreezing scene in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
-
films with a male lead and replace with a female lead and make it like every other horror film. And make the demons look shit/not scary aswell.
-
casting yourself as a messiah still trumps all.
-
are idiots. Why would you want them to make it exactly like the original. That movie already exists. Give me something new.

That's the sort of brag they would put on ads for grindhouse horror movies in the '70s like "Don't Go Into The Basement" or whatever.

From hence forth it shall be "Ashley". They have replaced the ONLY male hero in a major horror series... ...in the name of equality.

Saw a redband trailer in South America, it's very, very bloody. Blood spattering all over camera, girl licking knife to the point of her cutting her own tongue in half, and a LOT more. I never saw the original movie, so I don't know the connection. This one looks like pure splatter horror, but with ghosts doing the splattering rather than a Jason type killer. The trailer I saw seemed different than the one floating around in the US but I could be wrong. But WOW is it gory.
-
I think not.

Or I could check out the reviews of a few critics I usually agree with. If they all disagree with said statement, that's good enough for me.

well if they say so! I'LL TAKE 500 TICKETS PLEAZE!

I love Kidd, but these movie geeks really need to stop injecting politics into their stuff. To suggest that politicians have only started making bogus claims since 2011 is just grossly uninformed about the most basics of human history. Do some Googling (beyond "Read My Lips, no New Taxes" even if that is a classic) and you'll find Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln were all guilty of this. And that's just in the USA.

Jesus Christ, there is a definite lack of Phantasm fans here. I suppose it's not a major horror series, but it fucking well should be. Also, plenty of male heroes in stand alone horror films or single entries in a series. That is all. Back to business.

I just meant that Bruce's character WAS named Ashely, which a lot of people here seem to have forgotten.
by Mystery Roach
Anyway, he's too old to continue the series proper now and you aren't going to capture that kind of greatness again, so I couldn't care less that the lead is a girl. The only female that worries me in regards to this movie is Diablo Cody. I'd be a lot more interested if her name wasn't on the script.

ANGRY NERD NOT SEEN MOVIE BUT ANGRY NERD KNOW IT BAD!! GRRRR!!!
by Emperor_was_a_jerk
Could be great. Could suck. Could be just okay n Only one way to find out for sure. See the damn thing.
-
NOBODY in The Evil Dead cuts his arm off in the original movie. ASH is NOT the lead in the original movie. He only becomes the lead when he's the last one left. He is just one of a group. And IN THE FUCKING TRAILER we can see that the "whiny bitch" isn't the lead because very, very, very clearly she is the first one to be possessed. And the tagline is a play off of the original's tagline "The Ultimate Experience is Gruelling Horror". Fucking retards.
-
The Kid - ripping off 'journalism' from Reddit now. This site has really, really gone downhill.
-
The original had its tongue firmly planted in its cheek. This flick looks like a humorless exercise in generic horror that will not satisfy. Nobody will be quoting lines from this flick, years from now...in fact, nobody will even remember it. The original, people will still remember and still watch. This will be the ill-advised remake, yet another cautionary tale that Hollywood will fail to heed, as it steams ahead into creative bankruptcy.

yeah- i like it! lets go with that! get marketing on the phone...
-
Well...two letters anyway, but still. :p
-
Well, "Kidd", I do hope you're referring to BOTH sides of the political landscape. Otherwise, you're just as guilty as those you attempt to accuse. There was plenty of truth stretching going on on one side....and plenty of out & out LIES on the other. But hey, it apparently worked. Ah, I'm sure everyone can't wait....higher taxes for everybody, inflation across the board as companies attempt to make up for the higher costs of medical care, fewer doctors because of the new rules and requirements, lower quality care, bureaucrats deciding whether your condition is worth paying for....man, oh, man....what a wonderful sounding life we have ahead of us (sarcastic tone here)! Come on 2016. Oh, by the way...the new Evil Dead will disappoint. Mark my words...

PS stop saying Ash is short for Ashley. That may be but in the previous movies, he says multiple times 'My name is Ash.' He NEVER says, 'My name is Ashley'. FUCK THAT.
by HarrysNemesis
-
I think Raimi's is so great not so much for it's somewhat 'tongue & cheek' nature but it's bliss inducing mania. That film is perfectly coherent and utterly crazy. And I love It's like a warm cozy blanket of crazy that doesn't unsettle but yet doesn't cuddle either. This looks like it's the 'angry' version of the film and I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. But - I will miss: Ashe, marionette demons hanging and dancing in mid-air, white eyes, "SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!!", the batshit crazy floor level long shot zooms, the dead girlfriend body dance party usa scene..... I know some of the above won't be in this and I'm guessing at the rest - but at the risk of being labeled a 'plant', I'm actually curious about seeing this.
-
It's just a straight forward advertising claim.

by Chris
-
I think this looks like it might be good. Raimi and Campbell's involvement has me convinced this isn't a cynical cash grab and I think the trailer looks good. I love Evil Dead 2 is one of my all time favourites and whether this is amazing or crap, it won't change my opinion of the original. I read an interview with the director and I think he came off well and sounded like he has genuine enthusiasm and is trying to make the best film he can with the feel of the original without being a shot for shot remake. There's very little valid criticism of what's been released in this hate fest. A lot of it just seems like hate for the sake of it. I kind of find the smug hateful comments a bit embarassing.

His name is ASHLEY "ASH" WILLIAMS.

Regardless of how the film turns out, this is old school, classic advertising. Just look at how films were advertised thirty to fifty years ago.
by lonelyspaceman
This film is causing a bizarre uproar which may destroy geek community as we know it forever. ... And for whatever reason, I believe I will enjoy it.
-
Seems like a lot of you are getting your facts wrong regarding the original and then trash talking the remake which doesn't even come out until next April. Can understand the haters hatin on remakes of some of the best horror the 70's and 80's ever produced, some remakes have been terrible, but maybe hold back the hate on a remake until you actually get to see it. Having the original writer/director (Sam Raimi) actually write the screenplay for the remake should be some kind of indication that this isn't some hack trying to make money of of someone else's idea. Apparently he is making a version of the original that he wanted to make i the first place, but couldn't because of budget restraints and primitive makeup/effects compared with todays movies.

"THE MOST TERRIFYING FILM YOU WILL EVER SEE". Uh-huh. Why not offer free coffins if the movie scares you to death while they're at it?
-
No wonder there isn't a woman to be found anywhere on this site. Some of you maladjusted cretins demonstrate a staggering and worrying hatred of women. If you're wondering how the stereotype of the virginal, basement-dwelling geek is still being perpetuated to this day, just go back and read some of the shit written here.
-
It isn't Raimi scripting this, it's Diablo Cody. Can't get hackier than that.
-
The poster imagery is tremendously unoriginal; how many times have we seen this image in US and Korean horror/possession films. The Redband trailer . . . makes the film look like a ripoff of Cabin in the Woods. Like, exactly. Sad.
-
Seen it.
-
Nov. 22, 2012, 11:36 a.m. CST
If you magnify the poster in PS..you can make out the prefix "This is not" before the tagline
by KillaKane
C'mon, they are really reaching with this. Not sold on this one iota, personally I hate the depiction of the possessed, Raimi's were crusty, spasmodic berserkers, the sclera contacts really amped up their creep factor, stark lighting and buckets of rich red kayro blood still kills over this slicker than snot (but hollow) offering.

Thanks for fucking up every single horror movie in this genre for all eternity, CABIN IN THE WOODS, and contributing nothing new to the genre but wrecking any hope of anyone taking any movie like this seriously ever again. You rock, CABIN IN THE WOODS!
-
not even for evil dead in general. i'm a huge fan of all the major horror franchises and i have generally no problem with directions that they eventually take. but when a movie is remaking a film and is aiming to be different and to rename characters and to put their own take on events why not just adapt that story into a sequel! are prequels really that much smarter or entertaining? slap that thing into a sequel, call it Evil Dead colon then some bad ass word and just make it some spinoffy sequel in order to test your bold new direction. that way the studio won't have to pretend it doesn't ever exist if they ever want to backtrack on their mistakes and make a film with their original characters with chainsaw hands.

Take everything that was interesting and original in the first trilogy, and remove the fucking lot
by papabendi

Sam Raimi & Rodo Sayagues co-wrote the script, Cody rewrote it. Minor detail. Not so hacky. My point was Raimi is heavily involved in the remake of his film so l don't think it will suck when compared to the original.
