Fede Álvarez’s Evil Dead, while not entirely following the Evil Dead traditions the cult classic is famous for, creates a further sprawl into the Raimi-verse, bringing the world of the Deadites firmly into modern day.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Takes the bones of the core concept, then remixes and reimagines them in ways that honor the spirit of the source material without trying to replicate it. Without Bruce Campbell's charm, this might be the best we could get out of an Evil Dead revival.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

Horror remakes are notoriously difficult to get right, but the 2013 update on Sam Raimi’s classic sets the bar for other franchises to follow.

As gorefests go, you could do a lot worse.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 12, 2022

It’s gruesome, it’s gory, it’s relentless, and it all fits perfectly with the films frightening tone.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

Super-heightened super-hardcore fun

| Jan 14, 2022

A nonstop barrage of bloodthirsty havoc and creepy, possessed devil girls.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 3, 2020

It's likely to get most folks who watch it and are unfamiliar with the original film rushing home to watch Raimi's version.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

Boy do they go for it with gusto as far as gore and terror are concerned. We're talking a brutal, vicious, nasty little piece of business here.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 9, 2020

This is not for the weak of heart, weak of stomach or just weak in general.

We are shocked, scared, and horrified by what happens on screen during the running time of The Evil Dead. But we love it because of its creativity, craftsmanship...

| Apr 9, 2020

What separates the original Evil Dead from other horror flicks is that it moves away from the idea of a Last Girl and allows Campbell to play the role of Last Boy.

| Original Score: 3.2/5 | Nov 19, 2019

Watch Evil Dead at your own risk...

| Aug 14, 2019

It's just another bland gore-fest that plays like the reheated remains of far better films that have come before.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 6, 2019

What makes the film work is that it's not completely consumed with hitting every single beat from the original. It paves its own gory path, though the spirit of Raimi and Campbell can be felt throughout.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 12, 2019

Director Fede Alvarez digs deep into the genre's familiar bag of tricks but concocts a movie that is a pretty bloody good time.

| Apr 10, 2019

Scary, uncomfortable, entertaining, gross, bloody, and disgusting-with a pretty decent plot to boot. I can't wait to see it again.

| Mar 2, 2019

Much like the Dawn of the Dead remake, at first assumed a travesty yet surprisingly good, Evil Dead can almost boast the same. Almost.

| Feb 28, 2019

A perfectly functional horror reboot that far surpasses usual dire sequels, prequels and reimaginings that litter the cinema landscape.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2019

Evil Dead does pretty much everything a good horror movie ought to do, given that it's a remake and there's only so much innovation we expect.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 26, 2019
