Evil Dead Vs. The Evil Dead

Fede Alvarez had some gigantic boots to fill when it was announced he was going to be directing the remake of Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic horror, ‘The Evil Dead’. Striking the balance between staying true to the sometimes ludicrous ‘Evil Dead’ repertoire and keeping modern audiences happy was always going to be a struggle. I have to make it clear that I am a massive ‘Evil Dead’ fan. I first saw ‘Evil Dead 2’ back in 1999 when I was twelve years old on my first television in my bedroom on Channel 4 as part of a zombie double bill alongside ‘Zombie Flesh Eaters’ complete with introduction from Mark Kermode and I loved it. It was gory, funny, scary and just insane; I had never seen anything like it and was enamoured by the whole franchise to the point which I have read Bruce Campbell’s autobiography ‘If Chins Could Kill’ and seen all the films in all different incarnations with numerous commentaries.
