And Bruce Campbell as Ash?
Diablo Cody is awesome as. Jennifer's Body is so underrated and Young Adult is a little masterpiece.

"Cast of burgeoning talent ", or in other words, "cast of dirt cheap Mickey Mouse club rejects". Leave this property alone, or make Army of Darkness 2.

"much anticipated"??? Uh.. No.. If it is not broken then don't fix it.. Oh wait, this is Hollywood we are talking about..

How is this much anticipated?? They're delusional. I doubt there is even a micro-organism out there who is remotely interested in another glossy, shapeless remake of an already great classic horror movie. The studio numbskulls dont get it. We love those classics because they were new, innovative, and awesome. They werent classics by being a lazy remake of something already out there. If they would release new and exciting horror movies in the mainstream (Insidious and Cabin in the Woods are a good start), horror might actually be good AND profitable. Remakes arent good and dont make much dough either. All the best horror right now are indie/underground films like The Woman, A Serbian Film, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil etc.)

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. So underrated.

Bang on target duderino!

"BOO" this movie! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, I'm going to have to, unfortunately, disagree with most of you on this topic. I typically go with the majority on likes/dislikes because, hey, great minds think alike but this one...

Before I start in, just want to throw out there that the original Evil Dead was one of the first "extreme" indie type films I'd ever seen when I was 14 and VCRs were becoming more readily available and rental stores sprang up like mushrooms all over the freaking place.

It scared the living shit out of me. There was absolutely NO humor, other than circumstantial. It was straight up, balls to the wall, in your face horror. And then Evil Dead 2 came out. I had SO been looking forward to this but actually was extremely disappointed in the AMOUNT of slapstick humor that accompanied it. I know the reason behind the humor being added, I really do. And subsequent viewings resulted in it being one of my all time favorite Raimi films. Army of Darkness, while funny as hell, just really blew it for me. I LONGED for the Evil Dead films to go back to their roots and be the nasty little horror film it started out being.

I don't know what's going to come out of this remake. I'm dreading it/anticipating it. Here are my reasons for dreading it: Diablo Cody's attachment, the plot change, no Ash.

My reasons for anticipation: today's demons and ghosts are actually pretty well done as far as the scare factor goes (my opinion only)especially Raimi's own Drag Me to Hell. I want to see this new style of demon incorporated into the Evil Dead universe. Also, as much as I love the original, the effects are horrid. And before you start in, I know, I know. The year it was made, the budget, yadayadayada. So, take today's effects capabilities and apply it to the Evil Dead movies and we could have one HELL of a great horror film and also a great tribute to the original.

I'm just saying, give it a chance before condemning it. If it blows chunks, I'll be one of the first people on here bitching up a storm at the film makers!
