Evil Dead (2013)

Another remake of another film I have not seen, in this case Sam Raimi's classic cult horror film Evil Dead. The original Evil Dead made good use of its star Bruce Campbell (essentially starting his career) and a limited budget to create a film with a great reputation among genera aficionados. This remake try's to pump what it can from its limited setting and cast, basically five people in a cabin in the woods, but with a greater effects budget. Unfortunately the end product is dull, lacking a single character interesting enough to draw you in. The characters are boring, the violence excessive, the point lost. In the end this movie is something you just sit through and then ask yourself why you bothered. Not even an interesting failure, though technically competent this Evil Dead  doesn't offer the viewer anything worth experiencing, the  worst movie I've seen in a while. *1/2
