Evil Dead
Red Band Teaser Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: A flat line-reading Jane Levy (TV's Suburgatory) as Not-Ash, a poor dog sure to be exploited, and four loser/idiot actors you know are to be killed off.
Scene Pop: The last demented shot of the trailer.
Briggs Breakdown: 3 in-jokes, 4 racing camera shots, 3 acts of self-mutilation, death by fire, death by taking a shower (electrocution?), death by tree rape, a rain of blood, massive cat genocide, chainsaw gore and a cut tongue.
Effective?: A mixed bag. For new eyes, it looks like a creepy and disturbing horror flick. For the legions of Evil Dead fans, well...
Check it Out?: No. Seriously, is this a lost film from the Platinum Dunes crew, complete with the piss yellow and grimy green lighting scheme? It may be a rated-R remake but it doesn't look scary or unique like the original, just another Hollywood-ized remake. Hardcore fans will stay home, unless they are masochistic thrill-seekers or have an internet review show. Not even the shout-outs and in-jokes will put butts in the seats. Lastly, as stated in a previous article, it's kinda hard to take this film straight after The Cabin in the Woods.
