Don't go and see "Evil Dead" [View all]

Oh, it was awful. I'm a horror movie fan, but this was just a buckets of blood and gore movie. Literally! It was absolute trash. No story, or anything scary, to say the least. Please don't even think about seeing this movie. I was duped by reviews which I now think were made up by advertisers.
