Evil Dead (2013) - Limited Edition Steelbook [4K Ultra HD] [4K UHD]

Twenty years. That’s how long I’ve been waiting for this movie. Twenty years! Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Sam Raimi and the legend himself, Bruce Campbell are pretty much responsible for my love of horror movies in general, but also for my fascination with “bad” horror as well, so when I heard that someone had finally come along and convinced Sam and Bruce to do another Evil Dead movie I just about blew my own head off, Scanners style, in excitement. To top it off not only was it NOT going to be a remake of the original film, but was instead going to be a continuation of the story? Oh baby, that was just all sorts of groovy in my book. The movie pays homage to the original films without letting itself become bogged down by them. There are several scenes that I found noteworthy just because I was a huge fan of the original movies, but if you weren’t a fan it didn’t really have an effect on your viewing of the movie. The Olds in the back, the chains on the cellar door, the shotgun and then later the chainsaw, and finally the red dress that David puts Mia in that is a duplicate of the dress Sheila is wearing while a Deadite in the Army of Darkness. But, that’s enough about that. The writing was impeccable, the film is full of great one liners (“David. I did something terrible.”) that, while not as funny as the first three films, are still entirely memorable and enjoyable in their own right. There is something I had blocked out, however, and that was the gore. This movie does cross over the line into torture porn through most of the second half of the movie, to the point that I remember being uncomfortable watching it in theaters, and even watching it again at home I had to look away a couple times (the needle under the eye? I wear contacts! That hurts the hell out of me!) and thus had to rewind to watch the scene again to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Really, the movie isn’t incredibly scary, but it is smart and well done and the surprise scares and great makeup effects make this an instant classic! Just… you know… don’t watch it if you’re queasy or have a hard time seeing blood. Lots of blood. Pulling nails out of hands and legs, needles out of eyes, razor blades cutting tongues in half, hammer to the dog’s head kind of blood. And the rain. Lets not forget about the rain. So much blood.

A version to die for - soaked in blood, guts, and gore!

The original "Evil Dead" was great, for what it was, in its time. "Evil Dead 2" jacked it up and made it funnier and bloodier, again, for its time. "Army of Darkness", they just lost me. Might as well have been "The Three Stooges Meets the Deadites." Too goofy to be considered a true horror movie, and too cheap and low-tech to make it worthwhile, even in its time. About he only reason, I'm glad I watched it... ..."Groovy." Still didn't make it quire worthwhile. Then comes "Evil Dead (2013)" A contemporary retelling of classic tale with all the jump scares and creepiness worthy of the most discerning contemporary audiences, with enough way-over-the-top blood and guts to let you know it doesn't take itself too seriously. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. To watch the theatrical release is great. Then to watch the "Extended version" you may not even notice the added flourishes. But if you go back to the theatrical cut after, you'll miss those little flourishes. If you're only going to do it once, do the extended version. My favorite horror movie since the orignal "The Exorcist" by far. Though rewatching 2006's "The Hills Have Eyes" has been on my mind lately (another great contemporary retelling of a classic move) as well as 2009's "Drag Me To Hell" another great modern Sam Rami horror comedy. I did, by the way, on a second watching, also love "Evil Dead Rise" (took me until that second watching). I still smile and chuckle to myself fondly whenever I think back on it. Worth the watch(es). And another recent favorite, "Smile". Sosie Bacon is both hilarious and outstanding in that Movie. "Evil Dead" (2013) unrated extended edition. Yes. I recommend it very highly.

Dieses Remake ist einfach perfekt gelungen. Düstere Atmosphäre, Blut, Tod und Terror. Auch wird bestimmt kein weiterer Teil an dieses Meisterwerk von 2013 heranreichen. Vor allem beim Härtegrad nicht. Aber Achtung, Finger weg von der FSK 18-Version. Die einzige würdige Edition ist die 2-Disc Steelbook mit SPIO JK-Freigabe. Diese ist aber schon lange ausverkauft. Greift am besten zu diesem Extended Cut, dieser hier ist 100% UNCUT und noch böser als die Kinofassung. Das EVIL DEAD UNSER Unser Necronomicon im Jenseits, geheiligt werde deine Kandarianische Beschwörung. Dein Chaos komme, dein Grauen geschehe, wie in der Hütte, so in den Wäldern. Unser täglich Fleisch gib uns heute, und vergib uns unseren Lebenswillen, wie auch wir verhöhnen die Sterblichkeit. Und führe uns nicht in die Erlösung, sondern erlöse uns von der Menschlichkeit. Denn dein ist die Verdammnis, das Blut und die Finsternis in Ewigkeit. Groovy. DAS EVIL DEAD GEDICHT Im Wald, wo das Licht der Hoffnung erfriert, hat sich der Wahnsinn den Weg gebahnt. Fünf Seelen, vom Schicksal hergeführt, haben das Grauen im Buch nicht geahnt. Das Naturom Demonto, in Haut genäht, flüstert mit Zungen aus Blut und Schmerz. Ein Vers, zu spät als Warnung gesät, besiegelt der Welt den letzten Gruß. Der Regen fällt rot, wie Tränen aus Gift, wenn Fleisch sich vom Knochen in Fetzen trennt. Ein Grauen, das jede Pore durchschifft, bis das Herz nur noch Schmerz und Verzweiflung kennt. Die Klinge kreischt laut, ein stählerner Schrei, um das Böse im eigenen Blut zu ertränken. Doch niemand kommt hier lebendig raus, wenn die Toten die Welt mit Verderben beschenken. SEIT 2013 DER BESTE FILM, IN SEINEM GENRE. DAS BESTE REMAKE ALLER ZEITEN.

Disk simply did not work, I've tried everything.

本当面白い！

Muy buena edición muy buena portada del Steelbook y si se siente de buena calidad tiene la versión unrated y la normal y el 4K está bastante bien pero podría ser mejor pero está bien mucha variedad de extras tardo 2 días en llegar después de lo previsto y algo importante solo está en inglés sin subtítulos al español pero es muy buena edición y muy buena película recomienda

I know my title for this review may seem a bit steep,but I was honestly so impressed and pleasantly surprised with this movie,it's made me ecstatic!! I have been a fan of the original for as long as I can remember,but this is an ENTIRELY different animal.Where the original was kinda campy at times(albeit in a very entertaining way),this one is utterly,completely,balls-to-the-wall CRAZY!! It still has some of the black humour and sillyness of the original,but it's mostly played straight...a move which could have been risky but man,did they ever pull it off!! I think the biggest(and best)difference,is the story.It's obviously still very close to the original but the changes they have made are really,really good.Inventive,clever and well thought-out,it puts almost every other horror re-make to shame in that department.The acting is all stellar and extremely committed(watch the bonus features to see what the lead actress went through),with everyone fitting their characters perfectly. It's the pacing of this movie which really takes it to the next level,it's just SO incredibly awesome...I mean,it feels more like a French horror film in that sense,it just doesn't let up once the carnage begins,it's totally breathless and relentless until the amazing finale....just WOW!! If you like you're horror films with tons of craziness/gore/excitement,then this is one for you,I honestly stand by my review title....I have seen this film multiple times already and I truly believe it is one of the greatest horror films I have ever seen. BUY IT NOW!!!
