[Zombie Pumpkins!]

Anyone see this bootlegged preview of the Evil Dead remake? Filmed stealth style, from a cell phone, presumably. Looks like they're paying tribute to a lot of the classic moments, props and camera work of the originals. But more gritty and nasty, less campy. You be the judge.

That does look very gory. Me like.

Not sold on that at all. For me, there's no need to remake The Evil Dead. It looks almost like a scene for scene remake but with added gore. I hope I'm surprised though! Would love to love it!

The audience seem to like it. For me personally, remakes are generally a let down. Yes they have better production values, better effects, sometimes the actors can actually act, however, because I already know the basic premise and plot, it never has the same effect that watching the original for the first time.

For a horror film, that's a big failing. However, it's aimed at a new generation of cinema goers who'll probably love it. I'll probably like it but I doubt I'd love it.

They already removed this video.

I managed to hunt this video down and I'm very excited to see this! It looks super gory! I love the Evil Dead so hopefully this isn't a letdown.

I hope they don't go over the top with those naughty roaming twigs...

Has anyone seen the first official image from the Evil Dead remake?

[ghostface]

It looks SUPER creepy, but it doesn't have those deadite eyes to me.

[zombombie]

I know what you mean Ghostface, she's got kind of new school zombie eyes I think.

[monstermash]

Looks like Regan. Similar eyes.

IGN has the trailer on it's site now. It looks scary. At least for me, so I won't be seeing it lol. Where is the comedy?

Very gory, and I knew they'd re-do the branch scene, yuck! I'd maybe see it but i'd pretend it's got nothing to do with the original film. If I didn't do that it would be a total let down. Where's the camp? And I don't mean tents and caravans.

What's next, a prequel? Come on Hollywood, how about some originality?

New Red Band Trailer is out. I'm trying to decide if it is a bit much on the gore side, but we will have to see. Also the whole "We're gonna get you" in the trailer REALLY creeped me out.
