I just watched the new Evil Dead (2013) movie this past weekend and I thought it was brilliant. I will not go as far as saying that it was better than the original (honestly, this is like comparing apples and oranges, due to how different this film was from the original). The acting was excellent and the story was very interesting. It even had its moments where it was really scary. I especially loved its use of "dead silence" moments (on that note, the score was really good too). I liked how they preserved the core elements of the original, while doing something completely new with it. My primary criticism was that there was way too much gore (although, if you consider the original, it is not surprising that there was a lot of gore). Personally, I do not like too much gore in my films, horror or otherwise. This film was definitely one of the better remakes in the past 10-15 years. Ultimately, I would say that the film was a brilliant masterpiece with virtually no flaws (except excessive gore).
