How the might have fallen... As the vast majority of novels who are trying to make remakes, sequels and the such are destined to be bad. They try to emulate the original books with a "modern" view and they fall. The one that is more destined to fall is Snow White - which no longer is white, no longer feature dwarves OR as the words of main character, the male character is not even needed. She bluntly say that in an interview, all the respect for the actor but his scenes are well rather pointless - it's so ugly to spit on that. She spits on the 1937 snow white, saying it was scary. Can't this idiots understand that they shouldn't spit on the fanbase that gave means to have a remake? Bound to fail, I will gladly laugh. And in this case the fault is with the actress.
The Evil Dead franchise was not only due to the monster but the main protagonist that really gave life to the series - Bruce Campbell. Here is not present. So, 60% of all interest is gone. The Evil Dead is horror but it's always comic. There is blood, there is gore and other stuff BUT always comic. Here, the comic is gone, so less 20% of interest.
I don't want to say, of a franchise I enjoy, but I have to be true, this was boring, pointless. If you remove the Necronomicon references this could be any other trapped family in a haunted house with a possessed being. Adding necronomicon and those camera shots you all know (where it goes forward with a wind sound) and that's it, a new horror stuff.
The characters... what a heck? The girl looks and behaves like a boy and the boy looks and behaves like a girl. Did they switch roles. One thing, the positive is the main woman (antagonist). Her face is scary as fuck although she really is not that well portrayed so you don't really care about what happened to her. it's a shame.
I think the only character you care is the little girl unfortunately I think the only reason WHY is because it's a little girl. Apart from that, bland as other.
Damn they wasted a lot of fake-blood.
Truly awful stuff... Wish I could have my 1h30 back. 2/10
