OT - Remake Evil Dead
Ugh, looks just like every other horror movie being made right now. At least Raimi and Campbell support it, and tapert has a producer credit in this one too. But still, somethings are best left alon...

I am skeptical about remakes within the horror genre (my favorite genre) in general and I am actually happy that they are going in a more "serious" direction with this movie, instead of trying remake Evil Dead to the letter. I love the Evil Dead movies for exactly what they are-awesomely campy and over the top horror. Looking at this new movie as a "stand alone" it seems decent, when I look it as a remake I don't like it.
Makes sense to me, I like this approach, just forget that this one is a remake and it might be okay. If we remember the first Evil Dead was a much more serious attempt, ED 2 and AofD obviously are over the top camp.
@XBL - only saw a quick clip so I cannot tell, but seemed like there was reference to a hand and a chainsaw, but not in an over the top way.
