traptunderice wroteAzrael wroteDevotedWalnut wroteEvil Dead (remake) then Evil Dead (original)My friend had never seen the original so we made it our goal to watch it with the new one still fresh in our minds.
i haven't seen neither (or is it either?), but i'd have done it the other way around, no?
Well, that's what I thought first, but the original was very of its time in terms of graphics and what not so not knowing elements of the story while you're in the theater would create for some crazy intense moments, I imagine. The original is great, but I am curious how much I love it simply because of nostalgia, growing up and watching it. Haven't seen it in a few years, always reach for the second one when I'm in an Evil Dead mood.
seeing the remake first, with all the shiny new movie bells and whistles, would probably ruin the original for me, assuming the remake is well made (as it seems to be).
V, i was never much into horror movies, and a lot of stuff never really made it big in Portugal outside a certain subculture. i know literally zero big horror fans and only a few serious metal fans IRL, btw. not exactly popular topics with the indian/economist crowd :lol: (family/school friends). i know many movie buffs and they know it but never saw it either.
of course, i am curious to see it. i did catch Army of Darkness and loved it.
