Evil Dead (review)

For those who know the originals (I loved ED2), the story’s pretty much the same. If you don’t, it’s still familiar: a group in a cabin unleashes an evil presence. Unlike the originals, this one is mostly dull. Many of the goriest killings are camouflaged with bad editing. The makeup efx on “Walking Dead” are better. Is anyone frightened by creepy eyes and twitching anymore? The pacing lacks momentum and the overbearing music just seems silly. There are a few fun moments and the cinematography is simply beautiful. By modern genre standards, this doesn’t even hold up to the old standards. NOTE: Stick thru the credits for a groovy homage.
