Well, they certainly haven’t toned it down. The new trailer for the Evil Dead remake shows that, no, it’s not exactly treading new ground, with most of the familiar sequences from the original already in place. And, yes, it is very nasty.
Director and star of the first film Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are onboard as producers, with the action itself directed by South American newcomer Fede Alvarez. The updated CG effects and rather serious tone make it seem like more of a proper horror movie than the original, which had some very bizarre moments of comedy, plus this is definitely one of the more brutal movie trailers there’s been.
Don’t watch it over lunch, especially not if you’re eating pasta and tomato sauce and licking it off a spork. And yes, there’s a tree in it. Say no more. [YouTube via Total Film]
The Evil Dead Remake Trailer Is Epically NSFW

that is…grim. lol
Christ, that trailer was brutal enough for me.
Cabin in the Woods ruined this entire premise (in a good way)
Plus, they’ll never manage an Army of Darkness remake if they start off so serious!

Looks fantastic but the two greatest things about the original were the lack of budget which forced Raimi to be innovative and the addition of the correct amount of Bruce Campbell. Having neither, this is a bit like the glossier version that existed in Raimi’s head, much like Desperado was for Rodriguez.
I’ve got nothing against remaking a movie purely to make some money instead of taking a risk on a more original idea, I mean fuckit, whatever pays the bills, I’ll watch it, nothing’s sacred, etc.
That looks grubby
I like that they aren’t trying to copy the tone. We didn’t need another Evil Dead 1/2; there was no need but this feels like a nice riff on the original story with some little nods to key scenes in there too.
Pretty fupping gory too!!!
