A great movie to add to any unique movie collection! A must have film for Halloween!

Excellent movie and good extras. Very enjoyable. Would buy again

It's a gift for someone so I hope that he likes it. I received in a timely manner!

Such a great movie. Not exactly a remake of the original but much scarier.

It is a good product it is very entertaining longer version of the movie

I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie. It is a remake so clearly if you have seen the original it will be may be difficult to enjoy this film. If you are at all accepting of remakes I think that you will enjoy this. This movie takes the 80's version and does try to update it. This movie has non of the suspense of the original but it definitely has a really fun amount of gore. I am hesitating to use the word creative here but there is definitely a but more to the bloodiness of this than the original. There are many cringe-inducing moments that come along with the buckets of blood. The characters start out a bit wooden but some of them do shine a bit more than you would expect. One thing I have to say about this movie is that I really feel that it did a good job of keeping me guessing as to who would be the new Ash. We know there will be a survivor in the end, and without having watched any of the trailers I really felt the suspense as to who would be crowned the King Baby. It is extremely difficult to separate Ash from the Evil Dead Series, but I do think that this movie is as successful as you are going to get. They didn't try to just have a new zany character that acts just like him, attempting to do such a thing would have felt as natural as Ted McKinleys presence in the final seasons of Happy Days. I would also love to argue that people mainly love the evil dead series due to the comedy aspects of parts 2 and 3 but I am very affraid of the backlack I might receive. This movie attempts to do what the original did in its own way and I think it was successful. Help other customers find the most helpf

After hearing them mention a possible unedited version on commentary track when the blu ray first came out, I waited to buy it until now. Looks fantastic, sounds great. It's been awhile since I've seen it and it's already so gory as it is, I don't think they added much. But there are a few more seconds and shots here and there that are longer and make it even more gruesome. Overall it's a few minutes longer and you get the original blu ray too.

Another day, another remake Hollywood decided to make and dump on the fans of the original. Granted some remakes are decent in their own right (The Hills Have Eyes), most outright stink (Too many to list) and there are those very few that manage to match or even exceed the original (The Thing). Sadly, but predictably, this film is one of the unneeded but still fairly decent and diverting for 90 minutes. Sam Raimi's original, while not my favorite nor is it "scary", is a classic horror film with Raimi's unique style and humor with some very gruesome scenes such as a scene where one of the characters gets.... let's say gets real acquainted with a tree. The best part of the film is the hero, Ash played by horror icon Bruce Campbell. The remake pretty much fails to offer anything as good as the original. I do like the nice visuals, the largely practical blood and special effects, and some of the kills are fairly inventive as well. Sadly, the script pretty much steals most of the original story beats (Old cabin holding the Necrominicon, some of kills of the first, etc.) and the characters are very, very STUPID. Stick with the original and only watch out of slight curiosity and probably purchase if its like $5 or less. The PQ is filmed on modern digital cameras and is too smooth for my taste (The original's 16mm photography is terrific and pitch perfect in my books) but does look quite nice with awesome detail of the all the gore, landscapes, actors and sets. The audio is also fantastic with nice bass, great directionality in scenes and natural sounding dialogue. The extras, while not as plentiful as the much re-released films of the previous films, does have some nice extras for fans. The commentary is the best extra with the cast, director and co-writer offering up nice info about how the script came to be, background about the film, behind the scenes info and more, while nothing earth-shattering is a good listen. 5 featurettes, and previews for other Sony films and a UV copy complete the nice extras package, though a feature-length documentary could have been awesome (If you have the BBY exclusive, which sadly, I do not, offers a bonus disc with an interview with Ash himself and a featurette about the special effects). All in all, a nice package for a decent movie, but only buy if its part of the Savestation sale or around $10 or less.
