Movie Review, Day 17: "Evil Dead"

Day 17 
Movie: "Evil Dead"
Ticket Price: $4.00; ***this was a crappy, second-run movie theater about 25 minutes away from our house, virtually at the California/Mexico border. Old seats, cheap hot dogs, smelled of pee. Floor sticky like bubblegum, but actually soda. Popcorn everywhere. But, we are virtually out of movies to see because we've seen everything out right now (until tomorrow, when 3 new movies come out).
Showtime: 9:30 pm
Rating: R, R, R.
Running Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Drug addict gets intervention in abandoned family cabin with her friends and her brother (who apparently had a falling out with the friends, but the movie doesn't go into this much).
Stinky smell.
LET'S INVESTIGATE, KAY!?!?!?!?!
Surprised to find dead animals hanging from the ceiling.
Found a book that is shut in wires and layers and layers of plastic.
LET'S OPEN IT, KAY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Weird things start to happen.
Don't let drug addict leave the cabin.
Book looks like it's covered in burned, stretched human skin.
Drug addicted girl becomes possessed by evil demon spirit thing because guy who opened book repeated inscription.
Gore.
Gore.
Gore.
Gore.
Blood.
Gross.
Half of face sawed off by glass from a mirror.
Gross.
Gross.
Gross.
Awful.
Hid my eyes over a dozen times.
Arm sawed off with meat carver.
Disgusting.
Guy who opened the book dies.
Brother shoots demon girl full of tranquilizer.
Bury the possessed girl alive.
BUT THEN LET'S BRING HER BACK TO LIFE, KAY!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Demon comes back into soul of guy who opened book because HE WASN'T DEAD, obvs.
Always double tap.
Chases girl.
Brother barricades himself in house and shoot gasoline can to burn demon.
Girl rips hand off when Jeep falls onto it.
Saws demon head in half with chainsaw.
HAPI.
Ending sucked.

Still scarred. Ick.
Josh thinks it was an effective horror/gore-or film.
I may or may not have cried.
STOP REMAKING MOVIES THAT DON'T NEED TO BE REMADE.

My Rating: 3.5/10
Josh's Rating: 6/10
IMDB's Rating: 7.0/10
Do we recommend the film: Just see the original, you'll be much more satisfied and less grossed-out. better yet, see the SEQUEL to the original, Evil Dead 2. Bruce Campbell is a god.
