	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Gory scares abound in a remake that will win the hearts of many of the original's fans (...) The high production values and nonstop action offered here should also please younger genre fans"	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich Time Out	"What really matters is seeing these pretty people get put through the gory wringer, and once the unholy spirit comes calling, 'Evil Dead' more than deliver (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"The new 'Evil Dead's' delirious gross-out scenes spoke to me, and they go further than any mainstream picture I can think of"	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"The rare remake that likely will be enjoyed most by diehard fans of its predecessor, “Evil Dead” often comes off as the cinematic equivalent of a cover-band concert tribute to a supergroup’s greatest hits — albeit with a lot more gore."	POS
United States	Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"'Evil Dead' (...) accomplishes what it sets out to do: Scare viewers silly and uphold a tradition (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"An ode to the strength of onscreen horror even in its less inspired state, the new 'Evil Dead' primarily succeeds at illustrating how the originals have managed to stand the test of time"	POS
	Roger Moore	"Is this 'Evil Dead' (...) any good? Yes and no. It several genuinely hair-raising moments and presents, for your edification and enjoyment, some of the most graphic horror violence ever presented on the screen (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"It's an irredeemable, sadistic torture chamber reveling in the bloody, cringe-inducing deaths of some of the stupidest people ever to spend a rainy night in a remote cabin in the woods (...) rating: ★ (out fo 4)"	NEG
United States	Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times	"It's unlikely the movie will gain the same ardent following as Raimi's debut, but it offers enough good-time gore, goofiness, scares and screams to leave an audience feeling a certain elated exhaustion"	POS
