Owned is an overused saying.

I stand by my opinion, I found this film dull and very much a let-down.

ED 2013 is very controversial. Time will tell.

They'd originally made her look more "witchlike," but they decided to go with more of a "demonic kewpie doll" look. And personally, I think it's creepy.

I'm not denying that there's plenty of cheese in the original Evil Dead, though. What I'm denying are the oft-made claims that there was no intentional humor in the first film. It wasn't a full-on horror/comedy like the sequels, but there was definitely some dark humor in there that was very intentional.

Yes, you're right in this respect.

Man, just talking about The Evil Dead makes me want to go back and watch it again

BluProofie · 04-22-2013, 11:57 AM

It is a remake but, he must be talking about how the film is in the same canon as the original trilogy.

Steve Lilley · 04-22-2013, 12:41 PM

He's talking about statements that the director made referencing the fact that, in his mind, there's nothing that stops this movie from actually being a sequel that takes place several decades after the original EVIL DEAD. You can call it a remake if you want, but there are several subtle things that point to the fact that it's actually a continuation with different characters.

That, and the fact that the director and Bruce Campbell have said that they want to make a movie that eventually brings the Mia and Ash characters together, which is something that you would only actually be able to do if this were a sequel and not a remake.

Bruce has actually made fun of Fede for making that idea public. I don't think that Bruce was too keen on that plan. He's also made statements that he doesn't want to play Ash unless Raimi is at the helm and getting Raimi to actually film Army of Darkness II as opposed to just coming up with a script is another thing entirely.

I've been spinning the Evil Dead movies pretty constantly ever since I got my French import of AOD. Especially love watching them with all the various commentaries (I'm keeping my R3 DVD of AOD, since the French BD lacks the Director's Cut commentary)...it's always a hoot to hear Sam, Bruce, et al talk about making these "epics."

It's a AU, Alternate Universe story were some events happened to line up with the universe of The Evil Dead!!!

I'd call it a sequel or spin-off billed as a remake / reboot.

How?

Did I miss a post credit scene or something?

Bruce Campbell cameo at the end of the credits

Well, that and the fact that Ash's charger is sitting in the back yard of the cabin for no other obvious reason. And the fact that when the presence first enters the house it does it with Sheryl's voice, suggesting that it still has her soul. And a half-dozen other things I'll probably spot on a re-watch.

I'm be curious to hear/see Bruce bashing Fede; because Fede certainly seems bashable

. Do you have a link to that?

I agree there's no point holding your breath for more Evil Dead / Army of Darkness; especially with the lukewarm reception Evil Dead (2013) received.

It was more of a "yeah, you'd like that" kind of vibe. Fede kind of sinks in his chair. Can't find it now. I think IGN did the interview.
