Hands down one of the better remakes out there is Fede Alvarez's (DON'T BREATHE, THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB) take on Sam Raimi's zero-budget splatter classic THE EVIL DEAD. With EVIL DEAD, Alvarez took a MUCH bigger budget, and one of my favorite actresses of our time, Jane Levy, and made a neo-classic that dam-near holds up to (at least) the original film.
The remake centers on:
Five friends who have found the mysterious and fiercely powerful Book of the Dead which releases a violent demon on a bloodthirsty quest to possess them all.
And if you're as much of a fan of EVIL DEAD as I am then today you'll be swallowing your own soul when you hear that the film is finally hitting Blu-ray with the much ballyhooed UNRATED CUT (which runs a whopping 5 minutes longer) thrown in! Hell, yeah!
