SPOILERS Evil Dead (2013) - Fede Alverez SPOILERS

There isn't very much to say on this film. It's not awful (I jumped a few times), but it no where near has as much love and craftsmanship as the original.
Many of the best parts were kept the same.
I particularly liked the part where the main character had to pull her arm off, and the allusion to the chainsaw hand from Evil Dead II (1987) - Sam Raimi, and there was a couple of comedy moments with the chainsaw actually.
The dog was completely unnecessary, except for to get pity from the audience. It would have been scary, if that had come back and started chanting or terrorising them. A bit of originality too, wouldn't have gone amiss.
I also liked the way the main characters had more reasoning to go out into the woods, and to be at the cabin in the first place.
