I have no qualms over the making of this latest Evil Dead. Even if I did, who gives 2 licks off a camel's taint? I'm no moviemaker, no millionaire; they're the ones making this thing. Thankfully, the franchise still rests in the hands of its fathers - Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell - this is their magnum opus; the highlight of their respective legacies. Or perhaps Sam Raimi has a profound fascination with For the Love of the Game and cuts himself every time Kevin Costner's character strikes out a batter; I don't know, he's a kooky fellow.
My only objection is that it has been marketed for almost two years as a remake when it is absolutely not a remake. As more has been revealed about this project it is a continuation of the original story, but to bring in further interest from the non-horror cinema lovers, slap the remake tag on it and supposedly more money is supposed to flow its direction.
Place a subtitle on it, I'm cool; call it Evil Dead 3, fine, but call it what it is.
Eventually, I will see it; no doubt I will most likely enjoy it. Plus, listening and reading about what the future has in store for this franchise, I'm excited for the future, but I'm not rushing to see this one just yet. I'll let all The Walking Dead wannabes fill the seats and indulge in the gore porn. I've got the killer clown flick Stitches to keep my bloodlust satisfied for now.
