The gore feels painful, makes you cringe, churned my stomach. The use of practical effects, notably, in an era of CGI- filled movies, is extremely refreshing. This remake finds many way to bow to the original, aside the obligatory visual quotes. The camp was in Evil Dead 2, an horror comedy remaking the original already, technically.
The camp? The original Evil Dead was a terrifying experience, even with Bruce Campbell's over the top performance, the film was a scare-fest, a terrifying trip even nearly ten years after its release. And I look back over 20 years ago, watching The Evil Dead on a crummy rental VHS, in the dark of my teenage bedroom one night. So I've read here and there that this remake lacks the camp of the original.
