Want to get in on the Evil Dead experience? The studio is offering you that very chance in the form of a fun game in which you are able to record your reactions to this red-band trailer. From the severed limbs to the iconic book of the dead (Necronomicon) to that sexually aggressive tree and familiar swooping woodland camera shots, it seems that many of what people liked about the original film will be at least acknowledged. It's hard for me to watch every moment of that trailer with my eyes open - but I saw enough to notice the many Easter-eggs that connect this new version with Raimi's original. Stream movies like Evil Dead: Army of Darkness (1992), Evil Dead II (1987), Man with the Screaming. So it's not surprising that horror and gore are exactly what we get.
This latest red-band trailer attempts to continue the positive buzz, by drowning viewers in the full depth of horror and gore Evil Dead fans want.
When the new Evil Dead came to NYCC 2012, it faced a room full of hardcore skeptics but managed to turn the tide through a combination of gruesome footage and the overpowering charisma of Bruce Campbell that footage was later premiered in the Evil Dead teaser trailer, and support for the remake has been building ever since. The original 1981 film from Sam Raimi ( Spider-Man Trilogy) has been a cult-classic for the 30+ years since its release - as has the film's star, the iconic Bruce Campbell. You'll remember Alvarez from another film that held its premiere at SXSW: 2013's hotly-debated Evil Dead remake (I suspect the comments below will devolve into yet another argument about that film, but then I expect people to be arguing over that one for some time).ĭon't Breathe arrives on August 26th.The 2013 version of Evil Deadfaced a LOT of hate when it was initially announced - and not without reason. Of course it's possible that these reviews were written by irresponsible crazy people, but I dunno.based on the trailer, I'm inclined to take their word for it. There’s still no set date for Evil Dead Rise. A quick glance at a few SXSW reviews seems to confirm that memory: in describing the film, I'm seeing people toss around words like "brutal", "Hitchcock", "masterful" and "intense". In 2013, Fede Álvarez also brought a more grounded, more brutal, but equally amazing version of Evil Dead to theaters, with Jane Levy as the lead. Entertainment Weekly dropped the first trailer for Fede Alvarez' Don't Breathe on us this morning, and holy moly does this thing look intense.ĭon't Breathe premiered at this year's SXSW Film Festival, and I recall hearing the audience response to the film was strong.
