What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may lack the absurd humor that underlined the original, but the new-look Evil Dead compensates with brutal terror, gory scares, and gleefully bloody violence.

Monica Castillo Bitch Media The current reboot feels uncreative. Watching the new film just made me miss Bruce Campbell's chin and shots of Raimi running insane through the woods. May 10, 2016 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Using the very latest Cern-tested atom interferometry, we can reveal that Evil Dead is precisely, exactly - in the coldest atomic terms -the film that you were expecting. Rated: 3/5 Apr 19, 2013 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Happy days for those who love this sort of thing. But Raimi's effort, perhaps because we hadn't seen the plot before, was infinitely more scary. Rated: 2/5 Apr 19, 2013 Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Ghouls Magazine 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. Rated: 5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Miles Surrey The Ringer 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.

Audience Member (SPOILERS IN SECOND PARAGRAPH) Ash Williams will always be my favourite guy in films, but damn... Evil Dead 2013 is my all-time favourite horror movie ever! I just can't get over how amazing the visuals are, the music and the atmosphere it creates. Bloody and gory movies are my favourite so this hits that spot really well. That scene at the end where Mia chainsaws the creature in half while it's raining blood and the burning cabin in the background, it is so cinematic and an 11/10 scene. I would literally make it my wallpaper it's that good. When I watch horror, this is always a re-watch for me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Bom Atuação: Ok Roteiro: Bom Caracterização: Bom Soundtrack: Ok Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Guy P Decent story with some good callbacks to the original series, but is missing the dark humor that is essential for the Evil Dead series but makes up for with a shower of gore. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Jakeem B Best Evil Dead movie by far!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Stephen H Such a damn good remake. The horror!!! Everything about this movie worked. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Dean E Such a good movie, the gore, the acting, the setting, .. everything is pure horror.
