Seriously? It's coming out in exactly 4 weeks. I can't wait. If you haven't yet, watch the 2nd redband trailer on youtube. this movie looks positively awesome.
No CGI is the biggest draw for me. I have never once been scared by anything CGI. This looks proper scary. Awesome.
Anyone else geeking out for this????

I'm still waiting for the reviews. I'm hopeful, but at the same time, part of the charm of the original was the way it embraced the inherent campiness. By going full throttle horror, I think it could end up revealing a lot of the 'stupidity' of the original in unintended ways.

Because you can't remake perfection, and I'm afraid this might be a horrible abortion by comparison. It could very well be awesome, though; I don't know. I love The Evil Dead trilogy, so on one level, I'm scared to see this one; but on another level, I probably can't stay away.

I'm not excited about it because it looks like every other horror/torture porn flick filmed in the last 10 years. Evil Dead is the type of movie that s seemingly impossible to reboot without it just being a different movie with the same premise

I think it looks awesome. And i LOVE the original three.

I don't get geeked for movies anymore. I have learned through disappointment to just not do it.
I loved the Raimi/Campbell connection, and I don't see a need to one-up that.

I'm not much of a horror movie fan. I love the Evil Dead trilogy, but mostly that's because of Bruce Campbell's Ash character. I don't see anything that resembles the campy b-movie style that we all loved about that trilogy in this new movie.
I am sure I will see it at some point, but I can't say I am even a little excited about it.
Speaking of Evil Dead/Ash...how sad is it that Freddy vs Jason vs Ash never happened as a movie? THAT would have been exciting.

Parts of Watchmen were cool, but I got tired of watching dudes face fry, and I wasn't even on acid.

Is it in the spirit of evil dead 2? Essentially evil dead one but embracing the humor more then trying to be scary?

According to some of the reviews on IMDB they are saying it's not really funny like the original, they are trying to make it an actual horror film. Not quite sure how I feel about that as the sheer campy vibe to the original is what made it awesome. Well, that and Bruce Campbell.

The original Evil Dead was intended to be a pure horror film, and didn't have many of the campy, slapstick overtones of the other entries in the series. This is going back to it's roots.

I understand what Raimi meant it to be, but it failed miserably at that, which is why it was so good. There are plenty of wannabe horror movies that had the same type of budget that Raimi did, but still did not achieve cult status. Prime example, the movie Ticks. The original ED was perfect, it tried to be serious but came out uber campy and it just clicked for some reason, mainly Campbell IMO.

Bruce Campbell is a god and I am skeptical they can improve the trilogy. I will be watching it though. DEAD BY DAWN!!!

Except wasn't it the case that Raimi got pushed into making it that way by the studio and Evil Dead 2 was really the way he wanted it all along? I don't know if that qualifies as "roots". I'll wait until this thing is streaming on Netflix. Evil Dead 2 is a better remake of Evil Dead than this could possibly be, I'm thinking.

ED2 is my favorite, for sure, but this one looks properly scary.

Peaches, I agree that this remake will be more of a horror story than the original. More than likely I'll go into this one thinking it's a new movie and try to not compare it to the original.

Early reviews from the sneak previews are looking very promising...
