Meh, I had mixed feelings about Drag Me To Hell, but I've been meaning to watch it again. I'll do that soon.

I'm excited to see them take the old story in a different direction. Between the soundtrack and the imagery, the trailer's already quite disturbing.
I can agree with that. I'm certainly willing to give it a chance. I'm more open to them remaking Evil Dead 1 than Evil Dead II. It would be blasphemy to try to remake Evil Dead II, heh..

The film was an expert piece of Horror Comedy.
I don't disagree. Don't get me wrong, I laughed uproariously at moments, and there were definitely some classic Raimi horror/comedy moments, but I found the lead actress boring. And to me the over-the-top Bruce Campbell is what made Evil Dead so entertaining and amusing (Pt. II being the best, imo). That and I didn't like the ending. But I'm going to watch it again soon now that there is no hype surrounding it and see how it plays..
I took the liberty of moving this thread to the more active MDF since I, personally, think that this movie will get a lot of buzz.
Can't wait for this, The Evil Dead was my favourite horror movie growing up!!!
It looks like they are keeping a lot of the original ideas in the new film with but designed it for the young folk of today..
They may change it up a little by the time it hits theatres...Just to suprise the old die hards....

So would I, but Bruce is old and fat, so it really wouldn't be the same. Kind of like Indiana Jones trying to come back now that he's old. That sucked massively.
He handles the action scenes in that well.
Indiana Jones sucked because the story sucked, Harrison's age was irrelevant.
