 In the immortal words of my Twitter account post-screening: “Evil Dead HOLY SHIT…I mean HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT that was a fantastic movie.” Apologies to those who are offended by such language, but you are probably not the target audience this sadistically gory horror flick is going for anyway. Instead this blood soaked film is catering to those who like their gore gross and their films shocking. Evil Dead takes many of its cues from the original film but Fede Alvarez creates something entirely his own. In short, it’s easily the bloodiest studio film I’ve ever seen and a flat out riot to watch.

 Well you certainly can’t accuse them of just blindly remaking the original. The red band teaser trailer for Evil Dead has arrived online and it’s some sick stuff. Shedding the camp of the original film (and #22 horror film of all time) The Evil Dead, this film seems to focus on uber-violence and a Saw-like green aesthetic to derive it’s scares. Following the same story as the original, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival. Check out the bloody trailer after the jump! Read more on Tongue splitting, boils, tree rape and chainsaws…the Evil Dead teaser trailer is here!…
