Evil Dead Remake: 15 Talking Points In The New Red Band Trailer

By Stuart W. Bedford /

I was €“ and still am €“ a massive fan of Sam Raimi€™s original Evil Dead series. As a child of the late eighties/early nineties, you could say they were part of my initiation into horror (Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was actually, I remember it as clear as day, but Evil Dead followed shortly after). So you might think I€™d be immediately sceptical about the new Evil Dead remake. And in truth, I was. Until last night. After seeing the original teaser trailer, I wasn€™t fully sold. There really wasn€™t enough in the first promo to make an educated prediction so I fell back on my prior belief that all remakes are terrible, even if the original creators are involved. Then, I say the new red band trailer, which debuted on IGN extremely recently. And it blew my f***ing mind out the back of my head. For those of you who haven€™t yet caught this brand new red band trailer, check it out here. But be warned, it really is filthy in so many ways.
