Reviews
“Evil Dead is a modern horror masterpiece, filled with such desire to give horror fans a ‘proper’ horror again. It is clear all involved adore the genre, and respect the fans of the genre. Alvarez has pretty much come out of nowhere and delivered a brave, ballsy, brutal horror flick that is destined for cult status like the film it aspires to be. We have a new scream Queen in Jane Levy who delivers an utterly convincing and frightening performance, and Evil Dead is all of a sudden brought to life once more. This film has used its own unique tricks to open up a whole new universe for fans, and will allow Alvarez to take this into his own direction with the proposed sequel. Raimi and Campbell will no doubt be extremely proud of their protégé, and very happy with the results. This is a horror film made by fans for the fans, and in short, Evil Dead is a horror fans wet dream. One word of advice though, stick with the film right to the end of the credits, there is something very special in store.” horrorcultfilms.co.uk
“EVIL DEAD die-hards can calm their concerns—the remake of Sam Raimi’s classic is good enough that, at a certain point, you might forget it’s a remake. Recapturing the essence of its predecessor without slavishly aping its style, the new movie stands on its own and provides buckets of bloody fun. In fact, one of the differences between EVIL DEAD’s two incarnations is that this one hasn’t had to go unrated to go gruesome. In terms of the gore, this is the most eye-popping—and face-nailing, limb-removing, etc.—horror film in years, and how they landed an R for a movie that feels just as extreme as the NR original is a question most fans probably won’t care about the answer to; they’ll be too busy enjoying the ride.” Fangoria
“Is this "The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience”? No. Is it a capable remake and the most unrelenting and bloody horror film to come out of a major studio in a very long time? Absolutely." horrortalk.com
