The Evil Dead vs. Evil Dead (2013) Original vs Remake… Who Wins?

One of the most infamous horror films ever made… and the brutal modern remake that pushed the terror even further.In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we return to the cabin in the woods to compare the cult horror classic The Evil Dead, directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell, with the terrifying reboot Evil Dead.The 1981 original became a legendary cult horror film with its inventive camera work, low-budget creativity, and the terrifying power of the Necronomicon. Decades later, the 2013 remake brought the story back with a darker tone, shocking practical effects, and some of the most intense horror scenes ever put on screen.Mart and Trev break down the Deadites, the cabin setting, the gore, the scares, and the biggest differences between the two films, asking whether the remake improves the nightmare or if the original still rules the horror genre.Does the 1981 cult classic still summon the ultimate evil…or does the 2013 remake unleash an even darker nightmare?One book. One cabin. Pure evil.Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - ⁠ @LittleFoilFish Mart & TrevSubscribe to our Podcast - ⁠ @TheDejaReview TIMESTAMP00:00 Introduction and Public Service Announcement00:31 Welcome to Deja Review01:14 Setting the Scene for Evil Dead02:27 The Release and Reception of Evil Dead03:53 Exploring the Original Film's Impact05:14 The Evolution of Evil Dead Franchise08:39 Filmmaking Techniques and Guerrilla Style12:03 Iconic Elements and Sam Raimi's Style15:52 The Legacy of the Evil Dead Series17:18 Behind the Scenes and Production Challenges20:15 Tension and Horror Elements in Evil Dead23:04 Character Dynamics and Possession Themes26:53 Controversial Scenes and Ratings Issues29:45 The Influence of Evil Dead on Horror Genre32:20 Final Thoughts on Evil Dead and Its Legacy41:12 The Legacy of Fake Shemp43:54 Remake Overview: Evil Dead 201344:22 Character Connections and Easter Eggs46:48 Continuity and Plot Devices49:15 The Role of Practical Effects52:52 Character Decisions and Horror Tropes55:36 The Book of the Dead: Origins and Variations57:58 Demons and Their Plans01:01:19 The Cabin and Its History01:05:34 Blood and Gore: A New Standard01:10:26 Pacing and Storytelling01:12:20 Final Thoughts on the Remake01:17:37 Conclusion and Future of the Franchise#evildead #theevildead #EvilDead2013 #samraimi #brucecampbell #horrormovies #culthorror #movieremakes #thedejareview
