*WARNING* This is an over 18s movie, watch at your own peril!
I'm only watching and writing about this because it's almost Halloween. Having just viewed the Evil Dead remake trailer (it's red banded just in case you're in a room with toddlers), I now need a hug and possibly a bucket to throw up in. Based on Sam Raimi's 1981 original, Evil Dead combines the supernatural and the paranormal with a hella lotta gore. Tongues getting sliced in half and the likes. Gross.
This time Evil Dead has Fede Alvarez at the helm of Raimi's script. When you have as much gore present in a movie, especially a horror, you expect some elements of self effacing humour but as Bruce Campbell warns: "the film isn't funny", so don't be expecting a barrell of laughs; expect to be scared SHITLESS!
Co-starring Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez and Jessica Lucas, you can buy your cushion (to hide behind) and sick bucket (to puke in) in time for April when it hits Irish cinemas.
