EVIL DEAD 2013: The True Heir To Sam Raimi’s Original

[@MattDraper]

Watch my short review of EVIL DEAD RISE here: kzbin.infovLTDvIvA7C8

[@austinmeghu]

In the scene where Mia is telling her brother she absolutely needs to get out of there the actress has such a genuine look of terror that always stuck with me. You barley see characters in movies get that realistically scared.

[@GroovyFlacko]

Cannot agree more! The fear she expressed was so raw

[@coldeed]

The scene comes off like shit because they don't really react to her like normal people at all. I feel really bad for the actors because they did a good job with a very awkward script.

[@goodtimeskater]

@@coldeed well they don’t react to her the way you normally would because she’s withdrawing from heroin. They believe she will do anything to leave them and get more.

[@coldeed]

@@goodtimeskater They let her grab car keys and jump out a window...

[@ronaldmcdonaldjuniorghost]

No cap. That’s why I don’t get the hate or dislike of evil dead 2013. The acting in that movie alone especially by her was beyond phenomenal. I’m a pretty tough guy but if I ever got genuinely scared in general it would be just like how Mia expressed her fear.

[@chardywolfe]

Tbh I absolutely loved the 2013 evil dead. It was so beautifully done in acting, lighting, and just the way it played out. I wish they would make a sequel.

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

💯

[@WillTheGreatest]

I'm glad more people are appreciating this movie. I think it does well at capturing what the original sought to do but didn't fall into the same camp due to the limitations they had at the time

[@coldeed]

They didn't do anything that the original did well. The original told me a story about five people that were genuinely friends being forced by an evil sadistic spirit to essentially deal with each other and what is both disturbing and traumatic. This is a silly cliche ghost story where it doesn't really seem like anyone gives a shit that they're all dropping like flies, aside from David trying to fix things with Mia. Which is really sad because I think the actors did a really good job trying to make the story work, but there's too many points in the movie where everyone in the cabin feels like a bunch of strangers that don't give two tiddly fucks about one and other because of how much time it wastes on the David and Mia drama. It was also too scared to go dark enough to force David to kill his sister, or vice versa, or even have someone else attempt to do that. To be honest how you make this a much more interesting movie to me is when you showed David's girlfriend or whatever the fuck she was sitting there carving turkey which was just far too obvious that she was going to cut herself with that damn thing to be scary actually take that tool and cut Mia's head off with it because that's literally just some bitch she don't fucking know iirc. But that would require her to be more of a character than David's girlfriend lol.

[@shawklan27]

​@coldeed the original wasn't cliche you say? Hehe whatever you say bro

[@coldeed]

@@shawklan27 It's plenty cliche. Monsters less so in behavior than the remake.

[@312barajas]

@@coldeed the original showed how Ash and Scotty were just trying to get laid with their girlfriends and dragged Cheryl along. The only genuine friends were probably Scotty and Ash lmao try again. Apart from Natalie, the others were long time friends and they emphasized the brother sister relationship w Mia and David. Ash didn’t seem to torn in the the following movies about what happened to his “best friend” and sister. The fact that you’re on here hating the movie when Bruce Campbell and Sam themselves were involved in the making shows how shallow and dense you are lmao. They specifically said this movie was created to be exactly what the original was meant to show. And they succeeded. Choke.

[@Things_n_Stuff]

Something I particularly love about the 2013 remake is how they nailed the characters. If you look closely, they dress & act the same as their archetype counterparts in the 1981 original: You got the anxious sister in a red dress who gets possessed first, the brother who’s the last one standing wearing a blue shirt & sticking to a plan, his kind-hearted girlfriend in a white dress that takes “major head damage”, the blonde smart-ass in plaid who is responsible for unleashing the demons and dies after “resting”, and the blonde guy’s girlfriend in a warm color who’s the first to die. They didn’t need to pay *this* much attention to detail but they did, remaking the classic in every possible sense they could

[@richardblack3385]

Damn dude wow

[@coldeed]

If only they paid more attention to their own movie and made either of the dudes care about killing their love interests. Or didn't add stupid things like the first girl dead making dinosaur sounds while attacking the guy, glasses man reading a book out loud to himself like a total idiot, having that dude laugh are David kills his girl, having Mia actually have time to grow on the audience before she is just horrible behaved drug addict and then actual demon. Because lining up those things didn't make me like the characters. Eric (if that's his name) is the only one that seems to have natural reactions to anything. Most of the cast has no emotional continuity, and it's dumb that the girl that was too scared to hold a knife at Mia (who's practically a stranger to her) has the grit to saw her own fucking arm off minutes later. Or her better yet, not trying to fucking leave after Mia shoots her brother and the other guy bashes his gfs head in. Or David putting down his gf super easily but he just can't do it to Mia. Or Eric even giving a fuck what David thinks and not just torching the house himself. The other two only lack these issues by being either dead too quickly or possessed most of the movie. At least Eric had some personality, but most of the tension is killed by those 3 idiots twiddling their fucking thumbs in the cabin as shit gets worse around them.

[@fattyjaybird7505]

Yea, they really NAILED the characters didnt they😂

[@fattyjaybird7505]

​@@coldeed honestly the movie kept in a cold dark place , you knew eveyone was up for grabs, and just when you think you have a hero, he dies... honestly, i just got done watching "Evil Dead Rise" and id take 2013 any day... they really tried to make that warm fuzzy connection with the characters and really if its not done right, its just a waste of time and the movie becomes BORING, the entire theater people were talking, on thier phones and bouncing around.... i remember seeing 2013 in the theater, you could hear a pin drop, everyone was HORRIFIED. Which is the goal of any horror movie. Not to give people warm fuzzies. The only reason i went to see this checklist of horror was because of the 2013 movie.... big disappointment

[@coldeed]

@@fattyjaybird7505 I didn't find 2013 scary. It's just gory, but I kept laughing because of how bad the setup was and how most of the time the possessed people maim themselves in ways that just disappear if the possession is kicked out lol. The spookiest thing about it was that the main writer likes women commiting acts of self harm a bit too much lol. Little bit suspect, but really doesn't bother me any from a horror standpoint.

[@FieryFlamingFajitas]

I loved this movie and was hoping we'd get a direct sequel with Mia returning. Since we got Evil Dead Rise which is an entirely new group of characters, I'm still holding on to hope that they will eventually bring Mia back somewhere down the line

[@reesey8676]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mia died on the walk home from the cabin 🤣🤣

[@pastajade]

Exactlyy, a crossover film w ash, mia and the girl from EDR(i forgot her name)

[@ericfisher1360]

The entire detox subplot was a concession to allow for them to be present at the Cabin, sans Cell Phone. I have my doubts it was ever ment to be a theme, In addition it allows for the friends to doubt the claims of the Main Character, and her attempts to escape before it is too late.

[@danteinhell2394]

I'm glad this movie is getting acclaimed through the years, I remember back then some fans of the original hating it for no reason, and that movie doesn't has any problem at all, you have the presence of Bruce and Sam as producers, when you watch the making of you can see how much fede Alvarez cared for that movie, it wasn't just a cash grab for him, the care of making practical visual effects, the whole cast delivered on their roles and the characters felt like real people, and Jane Levy, she deserved an award for that movie, not only for her acting, but for the amount of work that got put on her shoulders.

[@ericadams973]

Neat thing from Evil Dead Rise - it mentions that there are at least three books of the dead, which means all three movies, 1980, 2013, and 2023 films.

[@bradenhogan2]

It’s a shame this movie doesn’t get more attention. It’s definitely worth it and I think the only reason it doesn’t is purely because it doesn’t have over the top comedy or Ash

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

[@ginofrancejr555]

I like this reinterpretation of evil dead even though I missed the comedy of the franchise as well as Sami and Bruce I believe Alvarez did a terrific job of ramping up the horror.

[@nickmandl]

YES. A 2013 evil dead video from Matt Draper. And another one coming tomorrow from Ryan Hollinger. This makes me VERY happy

[@Cinna316]

Probably my favorite horror "remake". So proud of Fede for representing our country with his debut

[@joshstrez3113]

Thank you so much for giving ED 2013 the accolades it truly deserves. I am more of an ED fan than AOD fan (despite it mixture, I still kinda put ED2). Don't get me wrong, I do love them all but I have always loved the original Evil Dead and I think Fede made the 2013 version with meticulous care and love for the source material. I loved how dark and brutal it was, as you, going back to it's roots. The movie Raimi and Co intended to make. I'm so glad to see people warming up to this film

[@Jerry-oz2sj]

The remake was so awesome and brutal and gory! I was actually a lil terrified, which is hard to do but this has become my favorite horror movie of all time! This is a really good remake! 😊

[@michaelmyersplays4992]

Actually not a remake but good try lol

[@TheJohnGill]

Big soft spot for this flick. First rated R movie I saw in theaters as a teen. Just so brutal, loved it.

[@guemagestudio]

I love this movie. I saw it when it came out, I was 13 years old, it traumatized me completely. Nothing ever scared me so much, I think it was the movie that made me fall in love with horror. It is among my favorites along with Saint Maud and Resurrection

[@zensai-gaming]

this movie will be a cult classic in a few years and the appreciation for it will grow. mia was an awesome character and the actress who played her was perfect. every bit the female ash and a worthy successor. its really sad they didnt follow through with a trilogy for this awesome remake. i will watch the new one and as i do will definitely see if its on equal footing with the remake or if they dropped the ball.

[@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998]

I don’t think they dropped the ball but the newer evil dead movie still isn’t as good as the 2013 remake. However, I think evil dead rise is good in its own right, it’s just not comparable to the 2013 version imo

[@SgtNicholasAngle]

​@@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998completely agree

[@wonderlandian8465]

They dropped the ball by not continuing Mia's story. Will die on this hill. Rise was good fun but if they actually follow throw with continuing that story while they ignored Mia being the PERFECT lead for the franchise , they will have dropped the ball.

I'll never forget the trailers of this movie keeping me up at night a decade ago. It and the rest of the franchise has such a special place in my heart and my nightmares because of it!

[@MindiB]

Your comment about the subtext of addiction, detox and relapse made me reconsider the 2013 version of the “tree rape” scene. The sequence in which Mia’s arm is tightly encircled by a vine is also a metaphor for a user tying off a vein (placing a tourniquet) when preparing to “shoot up.” There is perhaps a suggestion that this moment, in which the evil forest forces this act upon Mia, references a time when her addiction had compelled such behavior by her. Good observation; I had originally taken the addiction storyline more as a plot convenience to gather all the characters at a remote cabin, but I appreciate the idea of a dual narrative.

[@archive6094]

Fun Fact: In the opening sequence, the petrol that Harold pours over the girl was actually apple juice.

[@MattDraper]

Delicious!

[@SnapperChannel]

Very excited to revisit the Evil Dead series before I check out Evil Dead Rise. Wasn’t huge on the 2013 film either but I appreciate how it tries to be its own thing while being a love letter to Raimi’s original movie. Great video.

[@jasonvero]

I love how the new film basically canonized this film (as well as itself) within the same universe by explaining the existence of 3 unique copies of the book of the dead.

[@FP19487]

I pop this movie up at my big family gathering on our big ass TV. We've an absolute blast with it. There's nothing like bonding over a horror slasher.

[@NobodyC13]

Agreed: Eric can take a surprising amount of punishment. Also, ever noticed that Mia's signature color once she became the third act's hero to be red (after her dress became soaked in the raining blood) in contrast to Ash's blue?

[@Z3ROTH3RT33N]

The first Evil Dead is my favorite. I was really happy with the remake.

[@lazyrmc]

I really enjoyed this Evil Dead, but there are parts of each one I love. From the goofy fun of the sequels and Ash Vs, to the gruesome terror and lingering atmosphere of the original and 2013. Super excited about the new one

How would you rank the Evil Dead films?

[@UltimateCL]

1 - Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn 2 - The Evil Dead 3 - Evil Dead (2013) 4 - Army of Darkness Although it's ranked like that, it doesn't mean I hate Army of Darkness, y'know. It's just that Army is way more of a comedy adventure flick, which isn't bad (it's very charming and entertaining, actually), but, for me, it surely missed a little bit more horror to spice it up. In that sense, Ash V.S. Evil Dead, as a whole, balanced the terror and the comedy in an almost perfect way, just like the second movie did. And man, am I excited for Evil Dead Rise! Really interested in knowing how the ranking's gonna be after watching it.

[@MissYamIherexxx]

One thing I love about this remake is that there's an actual reason they won't all leave when stuff starts happening. In the original, they all ignores Cheryl and called her crazy for no reason, even though she was clearly horrified and her clothes were ripped, only deciding last second "Hey we should take her to town" and by then it was too late. In the remake, Mia was in a detox session and her friends truly believed she was lying about seeing things and just wanted to leave to get drugs again, so they wouldn't take her until again, it was too late. It really makes the friend characters seem less like assholes who don't care about each other, and more like people who genuinely want to help their friend, by refusing to take them.

[@michaelmyersplays4992]

Not a remake Reimagining

[@SavouryGalette]

Plus, the way Mia is possessed is changed so her clothes don't get ripped, which makes it more believable why they'd think she's going insane.

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

I saw it opening weekend, crazy good time at the theater

[@BrandonOfJapan]

It felt like I was taking crazy pills, the popular consensus was that this film was okay or even bad. This has always bewildered me, I've loved this film ever since seeing it in theaters. It was one of the first moving going experiences I had where I thought to myself "why does this feel like it was made specifically for me?!". Some of the best gore to ever be done in a mainstream horror film, and there's genuine terror that permeates the entire atmosphere. Passion for the genre and original film exude from every bleeding orifice and I will always hold this one close to my heart.

[@masterseal0418]

Even though this reboot's not my cup of tea, I do appreciate fans giving it a ton of love. My heart goes out to Evil Dead 2013 having the scares and charm of the 1982 original, but then we get to the Starz series Ash Vs Evil Dead, a continuation of Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, and it gets good!

I adore the 2013 evil dead. It is so freaking brutal and the atmosphere is insane. And as someone who had struggled with h addiction myself , it was a nice relatable touch. Mia (levy) was incredible and I really liked her and her brother as the dual protagonists. First act is perfect. Second act is brilliant and brutal. the third act flips everything on its head and now mia is the main focus and holy shit is it just perfect in it's insane visuals and cathartic chainsaw ending. Honestly this film could be studied in how to do a horror remake correctly. I also watched evil dead trilogy a lot as a kid. Army of darkness and evil dead two I must've watched fifty times before I was an adult. The whole movies are literally glued into my brain. Every scene every line.

The 2013 remake it amazing ! This movie captured the essence of what the directors wanted to do back in the 80s. Money doesn’t always make for a great movie. But sometimes it can definitely help. It’s amazing and to this day it is perhaps THEE most blood soaked movie every put on major screens.

I wish the reboot would’ve followed Raimi’s original trilogy plan, with Mia in a darker “Medieval Dead” then going to the future, maybe meeting up with Ash after the end of AvED, tying it all together. I’m excited for “Rise” but I’d also like to those storylines completed Edit: nvm I’m glad the franchise has all kinds of tones for different ppl, Army of Darkness is also great lmao

ED2 was my hymen breaking feat into horror. I was 8. It was amazing, still is. 2013 ED i actually like quite a bit

[@wonderlandian8465]

I disagree about the addiction metaphor ending when the possession takes place. That's when David's motivation and story arc comes in. David abandoned his sister during what was assumed to be the most difficult times of her live when she had to take care of their sick mother and then turning into heroine to cope, David basically left her "for dead". In the movie when Mia is possessed that is essentially the heroine and her demons taking over her yet again , this time David instead of running away again he decides that "the only way is the hard way" as he says in the film and does everything he can to rescue Mia from her demons. Which he succeeds, sacrificing himself in the process. But at the day the only person that can rescue Mia from her demons is herself, as is the case with most addicts, it's an internal battle that they have to fight with their addiction and that was what the final act of the movie was about, thus the reason why the abomination had Mia's face. It was Mia's demons accumulating into a real personification of Evil. That's why the insults that the abomination threw at Mia where that off "You are going to die here you pathetic junkie". I think that the film did an amazing job of driving the addiction metaphor all the way through to it's conclusion with Mia literally defeating her demons and thus freeing herself from them.

The extended cut shows David being possessed just before he shoots the gasoline. He was the fifth.

[@caitlynslusher8703]

That’s why, to me, the extended cut is the true movie. I have always wondered if the first soul was the girl in the beginning bc the purification by fire wasn’t complete when her dad shot her in the head, or if Mia’s counted bc she did die and David brought her back. Who was the true numero uno?

This movie was one of my favorite theater experiences. I saw it in college and you could hear people "ugh-ing" and "ooh-ing." Also, the line "Your little sister is being raped in Hell," got a gasp out of everyone in the theater. I'd love more of this direction for the franchise but understand why fans want more goofy stuff from the OG movies.

[@coldeed]

Now I'm one of the o.g. fans and I just wanted to not be as bad at keeping character consistency as it was. Like the way the movie shot, David's dealing with a lot of guilt and really not wanting to leave anyone behind, then he puts down and butchers his girlfriend without batting a fucking eye. It's almost like with the issues that they built the character to have that should have bothered him significantly more, and you probably say that he would but there's literally nothing in the movie about that. Or the fact that Eric has literally no reason not to just torch the fucking house himself and tell David to fuck himself rather than trying to talk David into it. Or that there's literally no reason David's girlfriend stays, after the other guy bashes in his girlfriend's head and his sister attempts to shoot him. It's also really stupid than once and she is too scared to hold a knife up to Mia, then magically has the balls to saw her own arm off. The characters in the movie act a lot more like props waiting to die for the next gore scene then actual people dealing with the shit in front of them. I like the original because each of the characters react based on the type of person they are. In the original Ash literally tries to do everything but fight and hurt his friends until he is literally the only one left. Scotty ends up fighting and having to kill his girlfriend and then immediately tries to bail out. Cheryl tries to leave immediately which they got right in this movie because Mia does pretty much the same thing and it comes across better in the remake imo. Linda gets hurt when they initially figure out what's going on, so she doesn't have a chance to really act poorly. I also like the evil a lot better in the old one. The fact that it recognized that Ash didn't want to hurt anybody and actively possessed everyone around him and mocked him for it, was great. That man's world was shattering around him and he had literal demons laughing at him as it was happening. In the remake they forced David to kill his girlfriend and the other character that's not possessed laughs about it in a way that really destroys the tone of the scene. But that's what actually makes Evil Dead scary to me, especially compared to the remake. In the remake, sure it's going to kill you violently. But in the original it's going to have fun with you first, and torture you like a kid ripping the legs off a bug. It wants to break your spirit first, and see exactly how far it can push you before it puts you down. It's like the difference between getting decapitated versus seeing how many holes something and cut into you before you give out. I think it's worse and far more scary.

thank you for this, I've been screaming to the high heavens since 2013 that Evil Dead, in addition to being a great reboot of an established series, is a fucking awesome horror movie that feels fun and scary at the same time.

[@bensneb360]

You used Escape from Hellview, groovy, always happy to see people aware of the underrated CKY. I have a few issues with the 2013’s story, but over all it’s a fun and creative remake, plus it has Jane Levy, she’s such an under actress

[@oskar_oskarewicz]

I am in the miority of horror fans that are not fans of the "remake". But I am not a true fans of Evild Dead in general. I like the original the most, it has sooooo much charm to it. Dead By Dawn is also very good, but way too slapstikcy for my taste. Army Of Darkness is an impressive ode to oldschool adventorous movies and special effects makers, I appreciated it a lot, but plot/character wise it was bit dull. Evild Dead 2013 is a good movie, no doubts about that, but for me again story wise and character wise it was very boring, I fell a sleep during the finale back in 2013 and almost fall a sleep few times few days ago doing a rewatch :) Also style and esthetic wise it resembles way too much the lat 00s torture porn shockers, I am not a fan of that. I don't mind good gore, don't get me wrong, I just find the looks of that period of time to be pretty ugly :) Cheers!

I don't know about the Olivia and Natalie deleted disposal scene. It's nice addition to the film in the extended version. But not really a problem even if it's not added on the theatrical cut, since their body would also got burned with the cabin in the end.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

I think I went in with too high expectations. It's a really well-made movie, and definitely superior to a lot of other horror movies from that time, but it just didn't click for me. I was grossed out, but I didn't feel the uncanny creepiness that the original had.

[@cassiopiea8438]

Lol, what a coincidence ive been listening to a shitload of CKY lately. You have such good taste in music (ive seen The Midnight twice lol)

[@bioshock6935]

This is how you do a horror film proper gore and pratcal effect and plenty of it and this makes evil dead rise so tame its just not worth watching once you've seen the new 2013 remake

[@AG-od3dc]

I'll have to watch it again. I didn’t like it when I first watched it. But I was also insanely buzzed in the theater when I did. 😂😂😂

[@SpedeVesku]

It's decent by the standards of remakes, but it's rather generic horror movie, while the original trilogy is stylistically and tonally to this day unique.

[@andrewweckwerth8793]

All of them are terrifyingly fun!

[@Film0Graphic]

I was shocked at how good this movie was. I'm a huuge fan of the Evil Dead series, the original was one of the movies that inspired me to become a filmmaker and 2 and 3 were amazingly fun movies. I also love the show Ash vs the Evil Dead. Got the game and also got a prop necronomicon. (Safe to say I like this series). I watched this movie pretty hesitantly because I've been seriously disappointed by remakes but I gave it a shot to try and be fair. Holt shit, way better than it needed to be, it's simple but I love it for that. I know its technically not a remake, but I'll have to say this is the best horror remake. Sad to see where the directors went afterwards though. Hated Don't Breathe and never bothered with their Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie

[@ajc433]

I really enjoyed it when it came out. I didn’t realize how many people didn’t at the time. I’m glad it’s getting a resurgence with fans of the franchise.

[@Nono-hk3is]

Thanks Matt!

[@RybatGrimes]

This is such a great movie, and the fact that people appreciate it so much more now makes me happy but also pisses me off. Because where were y’all 10 years ago??? This franchise could’ve turned out so different and we could’ve gotten an actual sequel if fans hadn’t been so pissy back then. I think it’s utter bullshit that Fede didn’t get brought back to make another Evil Dead. I think his direction and script were phenomenal and he should’ve come back to either make a new one, or a sequel. Rise was good, but imo this is still the strongest Evil Dead next to the original.

[@TheSurrealist.]

This remake was good and I still love it more then Evil Dead Rise but Rise was still really good. That being said I think there’s something that the next movie should do. They need to take the stylistic elements of the remake and Rise (the design of the deadites, the eye color, the rotting flesh and black goo) and the pure horror of the them, and combine it with the wacky nature of Evil Dead 2. I see it in my head and I know it would work. The kills and the body horror need to be cranked up to 20 but also done in a funny way. They also need to give the deadites more personality. Make them funnier. But also, the first two Evil Dead films had more then just possessions. The environment would move, inanimate objects would scream or laugh (think Evil Dead 2) that needs to be incorporated into the next film but modernize it. It can be done. I think, I hope, I will be done.

[@Jocro999]

It might be an unpopular opinion, but this has recently taken over as my favorite Evil Dead movie. I did not like it the first time I saw it, but after re-watching 10 years later, I really loved it. All of the Evil Dead movies are top notch. I wish more horror franchises were this dependable.

[@brandiyount5365]

Just found your channel and this is my first video of yours. I hit subscribe the second you mentioned Kiki's Delivery Service. ❤️ Your mutual love/appreciation of this film is a bonus.

[@behnammcdelijani3898]

I read the full script before the movie released. Something that was changed in the movie which really dissappointed me was the scene of the rise of the abomination. The abomination was written as an amalgamation of all the dead characters stuck together. I assume they just couldn't create it without usung CGI.

[@lucytorres4846]

I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD YOU USED MY FAVORITE GUNSHIP SONG (Dark All Day) !!!! Pristine video and great musical choice! 🤩2013's Evil Dead is a masterpiece, one of my all time favorite movies 🖤 the newest installment is pretty cool but Fede's still wins in my heart :)
