This movie got a 77% Audience Review score on Fandingo. The way I hear some of you talking about this film, you'd expect the Audience score to be in the 90% range. It did get a 84% Critic Review score, but I always go by the Audience score. But both reviews are probably coming from mostly White people. Plus Fandingo ratings, even the Audience Reviews, been way off lately.
Anyway, I hope this isn't one of those movies where you have to watch part 1, 2, etc..., to understand it. Because I didn't know there was an "Evil Dead" movie in '81. And me and both girls I dated in that year, stayed in the movies, especially horror movies...go figure. In fact, I took four different girls to the movies that year, trying to mend a broken heart. I still remember "Scanner", when that mans head exploded. We had never seen anything like that in a movie. Still wasn't enough to get my date to grab me, which was the only reason I got hooked on horror movies early that year...lol.
Anyway, the first version I remembered was "Evil Dead II" in '87. That was the first time I saw a movie like that. Me and an old girlfriend rented the video. It freaked us out a little, but it didn't really scared us all that much. I remember this one scene, when the demon was about to do something to this White dude, and it mocked him in his own words, "Your not going to hurt me are you, are you?". We never seen nothing like that in a horror movie before, and we fell out laughing.
It seems like I would have saw the 2013 version, but I don't really remember going, or exactly how it went. Maybe it was a more modern version of the 87' version...that one, everything seemed kinda dark. Like I said, I hope I don't have to remember everything about the earlier versions, to get something outta this film. But after hearing some of you talk about all the gore, I'm almost ready to back out. I saw "Renfield" a few weeks ago, and there was so much blood and gore in that movie, that one could become desensitized.
