'Evil Dead' Remake Red Band Trailer Requires a Strong Stomach

We're generally pessimistic regarding remakes here at GTBP, so I found it difficult to fully trust Bruce Campbell's praise of an Evil Dead remake that he's the producer of.  Even the spooky picture above wasn't convincing enough for me to garner much interest in.  Well, a newly released red band trailer of the new Evil Dead installment is here and has me singing a different tune.  This a horror remake we should all be very afraid of, as it's got the gore and craziness to back up that claim.

Bruce Campbell: 'Evil Dead' Remake Doesn't Suck!

Sam Raimi's horror classic The Evil Dead is a movie that you just don't remake.  It'd be like remaking Alien.  Fans are predictably pissed that they are actually doing it, but here's one silver lining in the whole thing: The people behind the scenes actually have the common sense to realize it.  But now, someone has ridden in to rescue them.  Probably with a hot chick on his side and a chainsaw grafted on his hand.  That's right, it's Bruce Campbell, and he has everything positive to say about the remake.

Dates and Locations for 'Evil Dead' Re-Release

Remember about a month ago when we told you The Evil Dead would soon be returning to theaters? It'll be a limited run arriving first in Minneapolis on January 8th, with Grindhouse Releasing getting the nod of approval from Sam Raimi, producer Robert Tapert, and Bruce Campbell for the relaunch.

And the best way to see an old horror classic is definitely on the big screen, before home video or cable was much of an option.
