Napalm Death, Black Dahlia Murder + Paradise Lost Musicians Share Passion For 'Evil Dead' Films

Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:02:29 +0000

Bringing out the real-life killer in a hardcore horror movie fanatic is a simple practice -- all you have to do is remake an iconic horror film, and suddenly giant men in Jason masks are chasing you with machetes in hand. Remaking a classic horror film is often a practice more evil and psychotic than the genre's most bloodthirsty villains, but the modern adaptation of 'Evil Dead' is said to have broken the tragic cycle of creative failure. In that spirit, several metal musicians recently came together to offer their thoughts on the original 'Evil Dead' films, along with the 2013 re-imagining.

'Evil Dead' Review

Matt Singer — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:26:05 +0000

"Let's hope this still works," says David (Shiloh Fernandez) as he puts a key into the door of his family's old cabin in the woods. But of course he's not just talking about the key; he's talking about the idea of remaking 'The Evil Dead,' the 1981 cult classic that launched the careers of writer/director Sam Raimi, producer Robert Tapert, and star Bruce Campbell and remains close to the hearts of discerning horror fans everywhere. Between the original film and its two sequels, 'Evil Dead II' and 'Army of Darkness,' Raimi, Tapert, and Campbell created one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time. But that was thirty years ago. Times change; tastes change. And in the interim, 'Evil Dead' has been ripped off by so many other movies its plot smells about as fresh as a fruit cellar full of rotting cat corpses. Forget hoping it still works; you'd need the mother of all prayers, and maybe a blood sacrifice or two, to make an 'Evil Dead' remake click.

New 'Evil Dead' Clip: Stabbing, Slashing and Smashing

Mike Sampson — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:10:41 +0000

Having seen 'Evil Dead' (you can read our review here), we expected this new clip to cut away before the real nasty stuff starts. It doesn't. This new 'Evil Dead' clip is probably your best indication of the film so far. The tensions escalate to the point where things get bad and then they get worse and then they get even worse after that until you're literally sitting on the edge of your seat, half-cringing. Don't worry, it's OK to watch through your fingers.

'Evil Dead 4′ Rumors Clarified: Sam Raimi Was "Pushed" to Say Something

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:32:56 +0000

A fanboy frenzy was set off late last week, when news of a possible 'Evil Dead 4' film came about, thanks to Sam Raimi's remark that he was planning on working on the script this summer with his brother, Ivan.

Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead' trilogy is one of the touchstones of cult cinema. From the first no-budget horror film, to the frenetic, slapsticky horror-comedy of the second, to the Dungeons and Dragons and Mark Twain-inspired third film, they are marvelously entertaining movies that inspire very passionate fans. Which is why people keep asking Raimi about a fourth film. Well, he's answered, and suggests he's going to write a new sequel this summer.

Mike Sampson — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:06:09 +0000

One of the worst parts of modern horror movies is the use (and overuse) of CGI blood and CGI fire and, well, CGI everything. But you’ll get none of that in the new ‘Evil Dead‘ remake. NONE of it. Have you seen the new ‘Evil Dead’ red band trailer? If not, go watch it now. [...]

'Evil Dead' Red Band Trailer: The Red is For Lots and Lots of Blood

Damon Houx — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:25:49 +0000

It's hard to be a film fan and not love Sam Raimi's 1981 horror movie 'The Evil Dead.' Not only did it kick off the career of one of the great geeks heroes of cinema, it's one of those scrappy no-budget classics that gets over because of the sheer willpower of the director and the ethos that any character can die at any time. It seems like an untouchable classic. But watching the red band trailer for Fede Alvarez's remake 'Evil Dead?' We're sold on this remake.
