I'm a huge Evil Dead fan and I'm more excited for it than I have been for a movie in a long, long time. The trailer for it looks awesome.
The reason it doesn't have the cheese is because it's a remake of the original, not Evil Dead 2. The original one was actually made to be scary and disturbing and it is. It has a really weird quality to it that makes you feel uncomfortable. It feels like you're watching a snuff film.
And yest this one is also made by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, Bruce isn't acting in it though just co-producing. So it is the same creators not some new people looking to put their own twist on it, but the original guys re-creating their original vision with a big budget.
It's not to often something cool like that happens.
