This is good to hear! I'm pumped about this movie.

This re-creates a situation that has happened a few other times in horror movies (The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) that illustrates how fucking ridiculous the current trend of franchising has become. Will the sequel to the remake of The Evil Dead also be a remake of Evil Dead II? The fact that this report is forced to ponder such an absurdity shows how franchise crazy movie-makers have become.

@ Dreux Pronounced Drew

well I don't have any problems with The first movie being remake without ash, I can see it standing on its own as a horror film with out the character but as series of films,  I do thing it couldn't work that well as the sequels had more to do with ash  than with the horror setting of the first film, that was what keep the films interesting ...and the first evil dead is a really simple story and it doesn't leave too many loose ends to build good sequel

@FernandoI completely disagree with the notion that Evil Dead is not Evil Dead without Ash. Ash and how he evolved was just representative of how the series progressed. He adapted to the movie around him. Evil Dead only needs to be relentless with it's audience, whether it be with buckets of gore or Three Stooges-esque slapstick. The beauty of Evil Dead is that, more than any other horror franchise I can think of, as long as it retains that element of excess, it can be dressed however it wants. Think of it this way; if Raimi's original cabin-in-the-woods horror series concluded with a fantasy-comedy film, with a completely different title, and in a completely different setting, then imagine where else it could end up with a fresh start. The Evil Dead more or less lead to a sequel that could easily be seen as it's own stand alone movie; something completely original, and I think that fact that Raimi is apparently writing a follow-up to Army of Darkness while keeping this new series moving forward says it all. We don't know how Alvarez will progress his take on the series, and as long as it retains that spirit and isn't just a series of remakes of the original trilogy, it shouldn't be disappointing. So, let's not dwell on this new movie's lack of Ash, okay?

the whole thing about Evil Dead as a film series was watching the Evolution of Ash as a character along with the films is genres... without ash  its not longer the evil dead series

Also Army of Darkness 2 was also announced.

My hope is we get a SXSW review like Cabin In the Woods did last year. But as far the sequel goes... I can't say I'm surprised. It's rare to find a good horror film lately that doesn't get a sequel.

Will there be a review from the spillcrew soon? or we will have to wait after the actual release date?

You had  me at "practical effects"

Comment by Majin B-mag on March 11, 2013 at 3:34pm

The Evil Dead trilogy are one of the best horror films ever!

A sequel to Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead remake?  ... Just as long as they keep using Practical Effects, I'm good.
