Re: Evil Dead Remake (NEW, Full Red Band Trailer)
You should watch the originals sometime. I think they're both streaming on Netflix. If for noother reason than to appreciate why this movie is almost impossible to conceive of as a remake. I'm really interested in seeing it, but also really unsure they'll pull it off.

So siked for this film. 
They aren't using any CGI and using practical effects which brings back that classic horror feeling. This trailer has definitely sold me on this new vision of the film series and I hope the final version rocks.
Re: Evil Dead Remake (NEW, Full Red Band Trailer)
I bet it ends up having CGI. I've heard horror/slasher films for years say "no CGI, we're going old school" to appease fans, and tbh I think it's a great idea as I HATE MODERN HORROR FILMS, because of all of the CGI.
But usually even after they claim no CGI... they still end up doing it. Alien vs. Predator was such a letdown after all of those claims. Then AvP: Requiem went old school (mostly) and had alot of throwback Rated-R blood n' guts, but like the first film -- it sucked. Oh well.

Problems with CGI, despite being more expensive. It makes films look cheap and unrealistic more often than it helps.

Early reviews have come in from various early screenings from cons and film events for press and reviewers. All seem to be extremely positive. IGN.com gave the film a 9/10. No Bruce cameo from what I've heard; but they said it's horror at its finest and fun as hell to watch with friends. Looks like I'm checking this film out when April rolls around.

Re: Evil Dead Remake (NEW, Full Red Band Trailer)
Saw it this past Saturday. It was actually really good and well made. Even for a remake. Of course fans of the originals probably will have problems with the film. It's not perfect; but it's a ton of fun to watch with friends and offers the goods for the most part. It's a solid horror flick if you don't compare it with the previous works and one of the better horror flicks I've seen this year. For new fans, it's something fresh. Cast is solid. The girl who plays Mia is fucking great. There are some pace issues and some scenes could of been tweaked with the script a tad; but those were my only gripes. Problems were quite small or hardly effected the film's tone. Scenes in trailer were cut from theatrical version. Only a few I believe. Of course they are going to have a superior final cut of the film on DVD/Blu Ray, On Demand. Oh yeah don't leave when the credits roll. 
What I admire is that this film really respects the original; but doesn't depend too much on the previous material. It's more engaging and entertaining then it is scary; but that's all I have to say at the moment. Probably going to see it again with a bigger group later or maybe a date if I can get one. 
While Mama, Sinister and a few others had some great ideas and spooks. Their endings fell flat and left out some details that could of improved the films themselves. Put my thoughts on the the movie watching thread as well.
