Plot:
Adapted from the movie of the same name, "The Evil Dead" released in 1981 is the famous work of Sam Raimi, the director of "Spider-Man". Five young people drove out for vacation and came to a remote place and lived in a dilapidated cabin. That night, they found a scary-looking book in the house and inadvertently attracted the devil living in the nearby forest. The protagonists were possessed by the devil one after another, and only the last one was left to fight the devil to the end. One sentence comment: The horror of the film is enough to fascinate newcomers and make fans of the old version smile. "The Hollywood Reporter" This is a rare remake that fans of the original film like. "Variety" There is no doubt that this is a very good film worth paying attention to. It does not live in the shadow of the original. film.com Behind the scenes production is not a complete remake As Sam Raimi's low-budget masterpiece, the "Evil Dead" series has always been a classic in horror movies. Moreover, with this film, Hollywood horror movies began to undergo some changes and changes. For such an important film, remaking it seems to be a huge risk. However, the more adventurous things are, the more fascinating they are. Sam Raimi had been preparing to remake "The Evil Dead" himself a long time ago. However, Raimi's idea was criticized and opposed by fans. It was because of the fans' disapproval that Raimi had to put this plan aside for the time being. In April 2011, perhaps due to Raimi's persistent efforts, the remake of "The Evil Dead" almost made significant progress. Bruce Campbell, the producer of the new and original "The Evil Dead", said: We got a great script. It is with this script that we have the courage and ability to shoot this film. Those who are pessimistic about this film, just wait and see. The script Campbell mentioned was jointly completed by Diablo Coty, a female screenwriter who became famous in Hollywood with "Juno", and Federico Alvarez, a Uruguayan filmmaker. In Campbell's mind, this script can completely match Raimi's original script. And it is more interesting and more dramatic. Uruguayan filmmaker Federico Alvarez is a rookie who has only shot a short film called Panic Attack, which he claimed cost only $300. He knows the importance of this remake. Alvarez said: For me personally, the new version of The Evil Dead is a very good horror movie. The story takes place 30 years after the end of the old version. The cabin and the car are still in the same place. A few young people came here again by mistake, and then a very scary scene was staged. In fact, it is not accurate to say that this movie is a remake, because the film does not remake the old version of The Evil Dead. Instead, it continues the original story and clues. Some people think that shooting this movie like this is far-fetched. I personally don't think so. Because things like demons, ghosts, and possession may tend to make people do some unreasonable things. In this way, the whole story makes sense. I do believe in karma and reincarnation. So, I wrote these plots. From this perspective, this is a sequel, not a remake. It's just that the overall framework of the film is similar. Since "True Horror" is a horror film, the most important gimmick in the film is horror. Unlike the horror of blood spilling in traditional American horror films, although blood is spilled in "The Evil Dead", it is extremely subtle and appropriate. Moreover, unlike the current horror films that abuse CG everywhere, Federico Alvarez did not use any CG in the film except for some necessary polishing. He said that he likes traditional special effects work, not computer-generated CG. He said: I hate CG technology, I don't like this thing. This technology is indeed very advanced and convenient, and it is still very cheap at present, but it is virtual and fake. The content of this movie, as long as you see it, is real. This also adds another real horror color to the film-because the content you see is real
