Channel Awesome liked before I even started watching, I just knew it was going to be great. gotta go with the original tbh. my favorite horror film of all time. remake was pretty damn good too.
Ash in the original Evil Dead is very much like Ripley in Alien where they are both like characters that survive at the end and you want them to be the last alive. Then in the sequels Aliens and Evil Dead 2 they become some of the most badass characters in film.
I was Just thinking the same thing. In Alien, it's not obvious that Ripley will be the sole survivor. If you go into it blind you have no idea who will live or die and it was made before the "final girl" cliché. In the sequel, she becomes more badass and she has extremely bad luck throughout the films.... Ash is the same. In The Evil Dead, he's hardly the obvious hero but he survives. In the sequel, he becomes more badass and he has extremely bad luck.
I love Both of them personally but the New one made me cringe. Not in a bad way at all but in the real meaning of the word seeing that girl slit her tongue in half with a reason Like FUCK that shit hurt me
JaxBlade And when that girl cuts off her left arm (also in the remake) and we see/hear *everything*? Including her arm bone getting slowly crunched apart by the electric meat cutter? I literally had nightmares after the first time I saw that part of the movie.
JaxBlade For real! Or how about that part when Mia's knee was slowly being cut by the machete? It when she tore her arm off? Or got raped by thorns? Seriously, there are plenty of painful moments in the remake that Doug didn't point out.
Vinny Raptor And especially that one part where the girl is slicing her face off and we see her teeth after she rips out her cheek with the mirror shard... I have yet to see any movie remake that has (good) cringe-worthy gore like Evil Dead.
Vinny Raptor That guy went through the most punishment of almost all of the characters. Remember that part when his hand gets almost completely torn in half down the middle by that crowbar? *Shivers*. And the way his mangled fingers were still slightly moving and twitching was the worst. I've gotten very protective of my hands after watching that.
The New Evil Dead DOES NOT have a happy ending. Think about it. Mia loses her friends, her brother, and her arm. And because no one in their right mind will believe her story, she won't get the therapy she'll definitely need and with no family or friends for emotional support, she'll probably end up on drugs again. Just saying.
Well, as far as horror movies with "happy" endings go, that's common. Mostly because she makes it out alive. The aftermath that one could imagine following the events in this movie (lack of therapy, going to drugs, etc) would however be the less happy part. But yeah, as I said, for the purpose of the movie itself, it's technically a happy ending.
Well, I did read this one fanfic that suggested she went to therapy... but then it turns out that the therapist got possessed and she and Ash (who's also in thearapy) have to take him out. They then decide the best therapy is hunting demons.
+Allan Katsuro I guess it's a matter of perspective. For example, in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, while the Final Girl did escape, our last image is of Leatherface twirling around his chainsaw almost like in celebration. It's almost as if to say, did she actually win? Sure she made it out, but she'll never be the same and probably not in a good way. Then in the sequel, we find out she went into a catatonic state. Not a big fan of that being her fate, but you see where I'm going with this right? Or perhaps a better example would be the Nightmare on Elm Street sequel. Yes, Nancy and Quinton did survive, but in the end, Freddy got the last laugh when he killed Nancy's mom.
Yeah. If you want to read it, the fic is called "And the Wisdom to Know the Difference" by Missy and is on AO3. There's a decent amount of gore and the characters work off each other fairly well even if the story isn't too long.
Why is this even an argument? Bills navite made him more relatable and funny. And admittedly post heartbreak Bill has is has moments and the ghost of Bill present was excellent there's just no comparison.
Wyn Whydoweneedalastname (SPOILER WARNING.) Fans like you make this fandom toxic. Back off you Bill hater, he is a strong independent man, ever since he quit his job at the factory and recovered from the demon possession he has become so brave and inspiring, now he's back in human form after his tragic death he is more powerful than ever. Respect the creators, man.
The creators have no idea what there doing. After it was hinted that Bill was the druglord murdering all those hookers what happens? It was just Bill's classic enemy Llib. And I love Bill's evil Canadian twin as much as anyone else but could we having something else? Back when Bill hadn't even saved the galaxy once yet, he was cool and unique.
Fun fact: the filmmaker behind the remake, while liking the movie he did, fully read all the criticisms people had against the movie. With this, he specifically made his next movie as a "reaction" to the evil dead remake, and made sure to make this new movie the exact opposite of evil dead 2013: it would be an original story, with no supernatural elements, and a more realistic and grounded tone. This new movie would end up being the 2016 horror movie, Don't Breathe, which I hear is really good and a lot of people like.
I like to think that Malcolm just *loves* dressing up in the Bill costume. Like every time they film he just asks Doug "Do I get to dress up as Bill in this one???"
Lmao that’d be the absolute best sequel! Watching them all coming down, putting together the pieces they remember from the weekend and trying to clean up the horrible mess only to end with a driving off scene, going to rehab and u hear someone in the car say “... anybody else see that bloody rain? That was insane!”
I have to disagree with the verdict on Ashley vs Mia. Mia is great in her own way, but while she's an interesting character and boy does her actress show the full range of her character in Evil Dead, I don't find Mia that relateable and I found her performance more enjoyable than actually scary. Ashley is just "some guy" who ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong friends, but that's why I like him and feel more sympathy with him than I do Mia. He's naive, inept and cowardly, pretty much exactly what I would be if I was trapped in a cabin with undead monsters. He doesn't need a backstory to make him relateable or keep your attention, the simplicity of an ordinary man having to fight off evil incarnate by himself armed with just a gun and household items is enough to give me a real sense of claustrophobia, and he didn't need any one-liners or gimmicks to make that happen. Evil Dead 2 is still the best of the trilogy in my opinion, but I have a place in my heart for Ashley as well as Ash and Mia.
Not to mention the scene of him trying to reassure Scott, his last remaining friend, only to realize that he's died, is one of the most heartbreaking moments I've seen in a horror movie.
We can all agree that there's not a lot of depth in the characters of "The Evil Dead"original. Ash is the romantic guy, Scott is the jerk jock type, Cheryl is the weirdo and most of the characters are not given much focus before they get mulched, beheaded or melted, etc; However, I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of a single person from the remake. Only Mia, and thats because NC says her name a few times here. I only remember them as "the girl who cuts her face off", "the Hippy Guy"or "Diet Cheryl who is also an addict". I know that Sam Raimi is all about over the top gore, but here, I don't know why, it feels....I don't know...overly excessive? And while the original "Evil Dead"is pretty low budget, I think it's pretty fantastic despite that.
Good to see some love for the remake. It will never replace the orginals but its still a damn good movie! The death scenes are so satisfying and Jane Levy put on a great performance. She was no Bruce Campbell but thats because she wasnt meant to be. A lot of people dont even realise that Bruce was the Co Producer of the remake...
Reptilian Vikington I loved the remake when I saw it at the cinema, so much fun. I didn’t even mind that Bruce Campbell had a quick cameo after the credits.
Yeah, the whole, either or, choice sucks. I really do like them both, because they showcase the era they came out in, and the massively different budgets. The old one is a testament to cheaply making a good movie, with whatever money(and time) you could scrape up. While the new one, shows modern horror filmmaking at its best. With a good sized budget, they were able to mix practical and CGI effects pretty nicely, and it didn’t detract from The story.
Actually the "remake" wasn't even a remake I remember they said after the movies release it was actually a different book of the dead in a different location, in fact they originally had plans for Mia and Ash to meet.
Credit to a story element in the original; the spirits are awakened through a recorded chant on a tape player as opposed to any of the characters being stupid enough to read the passages themselves aloud from the book. I always thought that was clever. Doesn't seem to be touched upon in this video.
In fairness, the remake implies that the book had a similar draw to it as the one ring in lord of the rings, subtly encouraging the ones who had the book to read it out loud. And if you don't know you're in a horror film, you probably wouldn't think reading it out loud would be a big deal, since in the real world there's no good evidence for demons or anything else super natural.
@@BLZ231 I feel like there was a fair share of evidence in the remake that the characters should not read the damn book. Dead cats in the basement, wrapped in barb wire, the writing in the book saying “don’t read this”. There was so many signs to just drop the book but no the characters pressed on and summoned demons. Very stupid of them
That’s a good point-in the original movie you don’t have a fool reading from the accursed book.The people in the cabin unwittingly release the demons by listening to a cassette tape.
Something I loved about the original was the fact that the camera felt physical, it felt as if we were the demon, following them to their doom. As if the camera was the demon and when it flips shit throughout the forest in these fast shaky feeling motions, you felt the rush as you got closer, and pulled back. I don't think many would've got that impression but it's something that has stuck with me all these years.
I thought that too with lion king 2019. I found it worse than the original. Cant think of anything that the remake did better. I feel that almost everyone is going to not like it unless they never saw the original animated movie. To be honest I found the lion king 2 animated movie better than this remake.
The photorealistic CGI doesn't make sense for that kind of film either. If you're going to make a film about animals that can express and act similar to People, you can't *also* make them look life like. It only makes sense as a full on cartoon.
A character named Mia that goes between being possessed and normal, while also being a badass? Sounds familiar... Resident Evil 7, did you take something from this film?
Rodimus Rider, dude, I figured that out years ago! In fact, I thought we were going to get a new charatcer, one that could build off both Bill and Benny. Not saying Bill wasn't a great choice, but we need more of Bill's family, too!
25:08 I can just imagine someone walking by on the street and thinking "What the hell kind of drugs are they on?" and immediately start walking in the opposite direction as fast as possible! 😂😂
I honestly like the misdirection with the name. Tho i didn't really like eric because he was kinda late at stopping almost every killing, but i was expecting him to be the new Ash but went the other route
Glad to see Old vs New back again. Expecting a Beauty and the Beast one soon, and other ones I would love to see done would be: 1. Zorro (Tyrone Power vs Antonio Bandaras version) 2. Three Musketeers (1993 vs 2011) 3. Ocean's Eleven (George Clooney vs Frank Sintra) 4. Peter Pan (Disney's vs live-action 2003)
+issac flores How could you forget BILL?! He is in almost every episode of Nostalgia Critic! He is the heart and soul of the show AND it's viewers! He is the wind beneath our collective wings and the guiding light that pulls us through! If you have truly forgotten Bill than you are a HEATHEN that must be burned! BURN NON BILLIEVER BURN!
24:21 - 24:25 How is it that Devil Boner takes the gun off the Critic's face, yet when we cut to the Critic, the gun is still pressing against him? Also, where did Benny go when he brought his brother along? Did he just bring him in, and then leave?
The OP said Hyper Fan Girl and Devil Boner were their favourite SIDE characters. Bill is CLEARLY a Main Character. And not only is Bill the Main Character, but he is also the favourite character for EVERY ONE! Nobody can deny that Bill is clearly the best Main Character that exists anywhere.
One thing I thought the remake vastly improved from the original that isn't really mentioned in this review is the parallel between the deadites and the protagonist's 'inner' demon - her addiction to drugs. That's why she has to fight the Abomination in the end, who insults Mia by calling her a 'pathetic junkie'. That's why the first deadite we see after the intro is portrayed by the same actor as Mia. The demons aren't only literal demons from hell, but the demons to be found within - such as a serious drug addiction, which changes you as a person and makes you harmful to yourself and your loved ones.
Emely Lucerne Thank you! Everyone who calls this "just another horror movie" can make no claim to be any authority on film. I still give it to the old too, btw, but it is a closer call then a lot of these people seem willing to admit.
Well it apparently wasn't obvious enough for NC, who can't figure out what the purpose of the final demon is, and therefore missed the main theme of the movie - addiction/self-harm and recovery. I love the first and I wouldn't say the remake is 'better', but it offers some deeper layers to the protagonist and her conflict, while the characters in the original Evil Dead were basically cardboard. .
Emely Lucerne I understand that part, however the original was the most memorable and better written in my opinion. Bruce did a good job directing, however the writing was poorly executed.
I love how this video showing so much gore and blood still has ads on it while anything discussing the "wrong" opinions on politics, lgbt(qis+ect.) or even criticising youtube itself or using "bad words" is demonitized in a heartbeat. I don't mean to say this doesn't deserve ads, i just wish other creaters were given a break and that our google overlordes would stop censoring and punishing dicenting opinions.
Probably because it's not real violence. Violent imagery is also way more tolerated than sexual imagery so it's not just a political thing. And when you say "wrong" opinions on lgbt, do you mean people who are anti gay? If people don't want to run their ads of videos like that, so what? That's not censorship.
The youtube algorithm just like the rating system i movies is a mess and pretty hypocritical in its own rules, its amazing on what can and cannot pass in these 2 very differente yet equal systems.
NO NO NO NO....There is Evil Dead 2 that had the same sadistic humor but MORE Bruce Campbell, MORE Gory Scenes, More Memorable Monsters and the Chainsaw cutting hand scene! Second one is a masterpiece that outdones the original and the remake!
That is very true. But the thing is, he's not going to include the second one because this isn't an Evil Dead 2 Old Vs New. It's unfair to criticize a remake/reboot based off of anything but the original, since that's where the narrative is based most off of.
Evil Dead 1 was kinda an experiment for most involved, even Raimi admitted, 2 is the real deal.......AND WHY DID NO ONE SAID THAT THE SECOND BEATS BOTH? I mean it is the perfect mix of horror and comedy and made Bruce Campbell an icon.....Great jokes, great performance, memorable moments, untainted atmosphere and it even has some scsry bits! No other movie EVER gets you through all of those feelings !
Original is cheap looking but has a campy charm to it. The Remake has phenomenal effects, but lacks the soul [pun intended] of the originals, but still fun. If I had to pick one it'd be the original. The TV show is badass though!
Wait... a woman named Mia, who goes to a cabin in the woods, gets possessed for a short time, and uses a chainsaw? ... ... ... ... ... Did the remake inspire Resident Evil Biohazard? Also, 13:12, you sick Doug?
Resident Evil 7 was inspired by plenty of horror movies. Evil Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Blair Witch Project, and throwing in a few classic slashers for good measure.
While I agree with pretty much every point, I DO have to point out one small flaw in the Atmosphere argument... the atmosphere for the remake was INTENDED to be the serious slasher that most fans agree the original was trying to shoot for, but simply went too far to create. While the atmosphere for the original is clearly the winner, I think it's unfair to label it as just another horror flick, because that was the point... to remake an accidentally hilarious horror film into a serious horror film. In that respect, it succeeded quite well. Still... yeah, the original was better than the remake. The remake WAS pretty damn good, but you can't beat the original.
Squeaking Lion I don't see at all how it went too far. I think it hit exactly what it needed to hit. It accomplished what the original failed to be which was a melodramatic horror and did an excellent job at it. I consider the remake to be just as good as the original.
If you watch Ash's progression through the three movies he starts off as a scared nerdy guy, but as he goes insane fighting the deadites he becomes more and more a badass
Never been this early and this may get bogged down by memes, but I just wanted to say, never stop making content Doug, you're my favourite thing about Wednesday :)
Not really. Because NC already posted a video: Top 11 Dumbest Spiderman moments from the Original trilogy. Then he did an Old vs. New with the Sam Raimi movies and Marc Webb ones.
that's different. he does editorials and countdown lists of things he's reviewed already or is going to review, but he's never done an old vs new AND a review on the same film because the old vs new is basically enough of an analysis already.
Smurfs 2 review: Who the hell is Bill? This review: Oh. He's Bennie's brother. God how long has it been since I last saw him? No wonder I didn't recognize him.
I love that doug's oc is basically a fallout character. Also I feel ya critic I'm usually held prisoner by my friends when they have similar objects with disagreements˜
Nick Kurtz Please don't kill me but I think the American Ring is better than the Japanese one.. yes, the Japanese one is more artistic and has cool effects, but the American had a completely fleshed out story that kind of made sense.
wel the swedish/norwegian version is of course better, it was dumb down so damn much for the american version and american film directors clearly cant do melancholy.
Yeah, all you would get from that are arrogant assholes who will say the non-American versions are superior just because they aren't American and think such petty subjectivity somehow reflects on all Americans as people. It's just a can of worms for such bigots.
I like them both. If I had to choose I'd pick the remake because it looks better. Now if it was evil dead two, that wins hands down; for shear batshit badass.
On the special edition of the evil dead DVD, Bruce Campbell said at the end of the film Sam Raimi wanted everything in the film to die. Hence why when the credits end in the original the upbeat music ends up dying and ends with the eerie wind and insects noise that began the movie. The original definitely had a feeling of complete and utter doom.
@@PageofLegend Sadly, yes. It was remade in 2016 as a tv movie, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter was played by a black, transgender woman (though Tim Curry did have a role in this one). I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's pretty bad.
I always thought the "eraser head baby guy" was a previously possessed person who also got burnt like the daughter but the demon escaped or got banished before killing the person
True, that's a totally reasonable explanation but Chechov's gun. A "good" movie wouldn't randomly show something that eye-catching if it didn't have anything to do with the story. How I see it, it gives the scene more history. That hillbilly family has gone this before and the father might have approached them seeking help, maybe to banish the demon that possessed his daughter. It's also an element that makes the viewers believe why the father might have trusted this kinda scary family in the first place, because we can clearly see those are burn scars. But a movie has several different interpretations, just my thought
In all honesty though. If I, personally were to put this series in order from worst to best, it would go the original, then the remake, then Army of Darkness, the show (though I haven't seen season 2 yet), and the second is the best. Just to clarify though, I love all the movies, and the show, and wouldn't call a single bit of it bad.
Yeah no offense but that's a shitty argument. I haven't completely seen the evil dead 2013 but from what I have seen of it, I can say that it is NOT just a typical Hollywood horror movie. The gore is something that even r rated Hollywood horror movies haven't really done. Fede Alverez and the cinematographers worked their asses off with the way the movie was shot and the way the gore was handled, and to just downplay it like the critic did was very dissapointing.
Doug here's some more Old vs New video ideas, Pete's Dragon A Nightmare On Elm Street Friday The 13th The Crazies Total Recall Footloose Robocop The Jungle Book 101 Dalmatians Night Of The Living Dead Psycho Planet Of The Apes Alice In Wonderland Why are most of my suggestions horror movies?.... Whatever.
L.S.A The rest of the live action Disney remakes. (Did we really NEED a live action Beauty and the Beast? The cartoon version is considered one of the greatest movies ever made iirc)
Most of those wouldn't really be interesting. This was a great video because of how surprised a lot of people were that they actually did a decent job with this Evil Dead reboot. I rarely even give reboots a chance and I found myself just having so much fun during this film.
Why does the evil dead remake make me think of friday the 13th......but with people getting possessed. Idk why it reminds me of it. Probully the gore in it.
roxygurl! The girl that makes cringe comic dubs Friday the 3th but with people getting possessed...Oh so part 9 Jason Goes To Hell, they both have the necronomicon
roxygurl! The girl that makes cringe comic dubs I think the cinematography is kinda similar. They both have a very pale-ish yellow look to them in a lot of scenes.
Steward of Autumn it was supposed to be a sequel, but Sam Raimi lost the rights to the first film through legal loopholes, and decided to make it a remake at the same time. The first part of the movie retells the events of the original movie, then it spirals quickly into a continuation of character Ash becomes.
I'm sure this isn't what the filmmaker were trying to do. But in the original, when the camera is following the car and the branches are hitting the camera, it kind of gives me the feeling that there is a physical (yet invisible) entity watching them
Here are some suggestions for Old VS New which some on my list alot of people would want you to do Old VS New: Pyscho Old VS New: Texas Chainsaw Massacre Old VS New: Halloween Old VS New: Friday the 13th Old VS New: A Nightmare on Elm Street
Mr. Mister no that would ruin Bill's entire purpose. he's a character all of them know incredibly well but we never will. well get small tidbits sure but never anything substantial. keep him mhming.
I think what really makes something great is if it stays with people, and makes an impact on them. Look at us still talking about the original almost 40 years later. That's how much of an impact it made on us. Its only been 4 years, and I don't really see many people talking about the remake. So I think that, even though people might of liked the new one, the original is the better movie. Oh, and Ash is an icon( Something that it seems Mia will never be).
Oh there are PLENTY of people still talking about Evil Dead 2013 all over the internet. People keep asking for a sequel to happen (Or Mia to appear in Ash vs Evil Dead). Most consider it the best horror remake out there and plenty (including me) consider it one of the greatest horror films of this generation. Personally i think its a much better movie than the originals. Also the 2013 Evil Dead's popularity just keeps growing as years pass. Just like with the original. In 10-15 or so years 2013 Evil Dead will most probably be considered a classic. Oh and Mia has started to develop her own fan base (people have been dressing as Mia in conventions , getting Mia tattoos) So you are wrong.
I wonder what would happen if Mia and Ash worked together to murder their possessed former friends? Mia can be reluctant to kill her brother David and Ash with Linda or Cheryl.
Wonderlandian mia in evil dead remake wouldnt work well in ash vs evil dead imo. That movie was too serious to be in such a funny show. also did you just say the remake was better tHAN ALL OF THE FUCKING MOVIES? BECAUSE YOU ARE SO WRONG. EVIL DEAD 2 AND ARMY OF DARKNESS ARE AMAZING CULT CLASSICS.
Anyone else notice the mistake at the end where devil boner pushes nc against the wall with his gun, only to lower it, to have it cut back to nc with it still in his face, to have it cut back again to devil boner with his gun still lowered.
We need more old vs new, love this miniseries! Seeing the debating portion is always interesting, and it gives good recommendations. Probably the most relevant series now since remakes are everywhere.
Evil Dead was them with a budget of 5 dollars and a case of beer trying to make the scariest, shocking-est movie they could. In many respects it was, but over time, people pointed out how comical and funny it was. So they remade it in Evil Dead 2, but with the horror-comedy angle and a budget of 10 dollars and a keg. This was so successful that they made Army of Darkness and almost dropped all the horror for just the comedy.
"You destroyed my mini-boner, I'll kill YOU!"
Which Evil Dead wins, Evil Dead (1981) or Evil Dead (2013)?
Channel Awesome hey critic could you review tommy boy?
Channel Awesome Does it really count as a remake? I mean, Ash appears in the end credits. I'm confused ;-;
Channel Awesome liked before I even started watching, I just knew it was going to be great. gotta go with the original tbh. my favorite horror film of all time. remake was pretty damn good too.
Wtf happen in the end?

@@sonicsucks20 Every time you say that, a Goomba dies.
Ash in the original Evil Dead is very much like Ripley in Alien where they are both like characters that survive at the end and you want them to be the last alive. Then in the sequels Aliens and Evil Dead 2 they become some of the most badass characters in film.
Pretty much. the Ash people truly remember is the one from the entire franchise. In a vacuum he's not at all badass in the first one.
Yeah that's right and wrong evil dead 2 was a sequal but it was an evil dead 1 remake ....so it was a sequal-reamake
I was Just thinking the same thing. In Alien, it's not obvious that Ripley will be the sole survivor. If you go into it blind you have no idea who will live or die and it was made before the "final girl" cliché. In the sequel, she becomes more badass and she has extremely bad luck throughout the films....
Ash is the same. In The Evil Dead, he's hardly the obvious hero but he survives. In the sequel, he becomes more badass and he has extremely bad luck.
@@ShadowRex1001 its a sequel that just so happens to be the exact same events luckily
GO TO HELL
I love Both of them personally but the New one made me cringe. Not in a bad way at all but in the real meaning of the word seeing that girl slit her tongue in half with a reason Like FUCK that shit hurt me
JaxBlade And when that girl cuts off her left arm (also in the remake) and we see/hear *everything*? Including her arm bone getting slowly crunched apart by the electric meat cutter? I literally had nightmares after the first time I saw that part of the movie.
JaxBlade For real! Or how about that part when Mia's knee was slowly being cut by the machete? It when she tore her arm off? Or got raped by thorns? Seriously, there are plenty of painful moments in the remake that Doug didn't point out.
Vinny Raptor And especially that one part where the girl is slicing her face off and we see her teeth after she rips out her cheek with the mirror shard...
I have yet to see any movie remake that has (good) cringe-worthy gore like Evil Dead.
The Smoking Skull Yeah, and then like, the boyfriend had to pull the needle out of his eye. As little as that is, it just gets under the skin.
Vinny Raptor That guy went through the most punishment of almost all of the characters. Remember that part when his hand gets almost completely torn in half down the middle by that crowbar? *Shivers*. And the way his mangled fingers were still slightly moving and twitching was the worst. I've gotten very protective of my hands after watching that.
Let's just all agree that the show Ash vs Evil Dead is awesome!
Agreed, here's hoping it gets a 4th season.
Psychedelic Cephalopod the third season is the best
Rooney Paul what? The series is awesome man
Rooney Paul i hope they don't

The New Evil Dead DOES NOT have a happy ending. Think about it. Mia loses her friends, her brother, and her arm. And because no one in their right mind will believe her story, she won't get the therapy she'll definitely need and with no family or friends for emotional support, she'll probably end up on drugs again. Just saying.
Well, as far as horror movies with "happy" endings go, that's common. Mostly because she makes it out alive. The aftermath that one could imagine following the events in this movie (lack of therapy, going to drugs, etc) would however be the less happy part. But yeah, as I said, for the purpose of the movie itself, it's technically a happy ending.

Not a big fan of that being her fate, but you see where I'm going with this right?
Or perhaps a better example would be the Nightmare on Elm Street sequel. Yes, Nancy and Quinton did survive, but in the end, Freddy got the last laugh when he killed Nancy's mom.

Fun fact: the filmmaker behind the remake, while liking the movie he did, fully read all the criticisms people had against the movie. With this, he specifically made his next movie as a "reaction" to the evil dead remake, and made sure to make this new movie the exact opposite of evil dead 2013: it would be an original story, with no supernatural elements, and a more realistic and grounded tone. This new movie would end up being the 2016 horror movie, Don't Breathe, which I hear is really good and a lot of people like.
"It's like calling John Wayne, Daisy...."John Wayne's real name was Marion Robert Morrison...... I guess we're all owed a cool screen name eventually.
Thank you for pointing this out.
Bill really is the heart and soul of the whole show, right guys?
Mmm
as always, Bill comes through in the end.
I'm already working on the tumblr fan-page.
Giovanni Orellana yep
Yeah, remember that time when Nostalgia Critic, the Devil, Santa Christ, Rita, and Bill where stuck in an elevator.
I like to think that Malcolm just *loves* dressing up in the Bill costume. Like every time they film he just asks Doug "Do I get to dress up as Bill in this one???"
What are you talking about? Bill isn't a costume.
Yeah. And who is Malcolm? Don't you mean that personality Bill has in public?
I think Bill is the real one and Malcolm is the costume.
Kenzi Bat
I'm sure Malcolm's been saying that ever since the episode that introduced Bill aired. So many wonderful years ago....
You're right guys, my mistake!
...This comment thread has made me very happy :)
One MEGA problem with the New one
She pours her drugs into the well so in other words she filled there ONLY KNOWN WATER SOURCE WITH DRUGS LIKE WTF
Maybe that's the plot twist. They're not actually posessed, but instead, they're just REALLY high on bathsalts
Lmao that’d be the absolute best sequel! Watching them all coming down, putting together the pieces they remember from the weekend and trying to clean up the horrible mess only to end with a driving off scene, going to rehab and u hear someone in the car say “... anybody else see that bloody rain? That was insane!”
That explains literally everything that happened
i dont think anyone was actually living in that place anymore, kinda like stabbing a corpse if you ask me
Omg lol 😂
This crew are such good actors I somtimes forget they are only three pepole.
Bella .Faleno
5 actually
DevilBoner: "...Bruce Campbell-loving hand..."
Me: *snickers like a twelve-year-old boy*
I laughed more at The Critic's reaction: What??? That's crazy!!!
Give me back my hand!
I have to disagree with the verdict on Ashley vs Mia. Mia is great in her own way, but while she's an interesting character and boy does her actress show the full range of her character in Evil Dead, I don't find Mia that relateable and I found her performance more enjoyable than actually scary.
Ashley is just "some guy" who ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong friends, but that's why I like him and feel more sympathy with him than I do Mia. He's naive, inept and cowardly, pretty much exactly what I would be if I was trapped in a cabin with undead monsters. He doesn't need a backstory to make him relateable or keep your attention, the simplicity of an ordinary man having to fight off evil incarnate by himself armed with just a gun and household items is enough to give me a real sense of claustrophobia, and he didn't need any one-liners or gimmicks to make that happen.
Evil Dead 2 is still the best of the trilogy in my opinion, but I have a place in my heart for Ashley as well as Ash and Mia.
Not to mention the scene of him trying to reassure Scott, his last remaining friend, only to realize that he's died, is one of the most heartbreaking moments I've seen in a horror movie.
We can all agree that there's not a lot of depth in the characters of "The Evil Dead"original. Ash is the romantic guy, Scott is the jerk jock type, Cheryl is the weirdo and most of the characters are not given much focus before they get mulched, beheaded or melted, etc;
However, I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of a single person from the remake. Only Mia, and thats because NC says her name a few times here. I only remember them as "the girl who cuts her face off", "the Hippy Guy"or "Diet Cheryl who is also an addict". I know that Sam Raimi is all about over the top gore, but here, I don't know why, it feels....I don't know...overly excessive? And while the original "Evil Dead"is pretty low budget, I think it's pretty fantastic despite that.
If there wasn't more movies ..Ash would be forgettable
Good to see some love for the remake. It will never replace the orginals but its still a damn good movie! The death scenes are so satisfying and Jane Levy put on a great performance. She was no Bruce Campbell but thats because she wasnt meant to be. A lot of people dont even realise that Bruce was the Co Producer of the remake...
Reptilian Vikington I loved the remake when I saw it at the cinema, so much fun. I didn’t even mind that Bruce Campbell had a quick cameo after the credits.
There was a short post credit scene cameo with Bruce Cambell so he was in it, sort of
Yeah, the whole, either or, choice sucks. I really do like them both, because they showcase the era they came out in, and the massively different budgets.
The old one is a testament to cheaply making a good movie, with whatever money(and time) you could scrape up.
While the new one, shows modern horror filmmaking at its best. With a good sized budget, they were able to mix practical and CGI effects pretty nicely, and it didn’t detract from The story.
DoubleDiamond92 The original is still better
@vogo it’s all opinion really
God I love Bill. Remember that time? Remember it guys?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
How could I not?
I remember. Good times... Goooood times
Hmmhmm!
No one can forget that
Actually the "remake" wasn't even a remake I remember they said after the movies release it was actually a different book of the dead in a different location, in fact they originally had plans for Mia and Ash to meet.
Yeah but sadly the planned sequel where this was to occur got put off for various reasons
The Undead Chronicler I believe the biggest was the box office returns and he fact that Ash Vs the Evil Dead is a thing.
I remember hearing the same thing! Pretty sure they are supposed to be set in alternative universe's and they were going to cross over.
There's suppose to be multiples of them hell in the attempt to establish a possible cross over they even gave Elias Voorhees one in Jason Goes to Hell
It's actually a sequel.
Of course! Leave it to Bill to solve the problem. That is so Bill!
bill is the cure for cancer
mmhmmmmm

God bless Bill.

My grandad died of lung cancer.
Credit to a story element in the original; the spirits are awakened through a recorded chant on a tape player as opposed to any of the characters being stupid enough to read the passages themselves aloud from the book.
I always thought that was clever. Doesn't seem to be touched upon in this video.
Albeit_Jordan Good point
In fairness, the remake implies that the book had a similar draw to it as the one ring in lord of the rings, subtly encouraging the ones who had the book to read it out loud. And if you don't know you're in a horror film, you probably wouldn't think reading it out loud would be a big deal, since in the real world there's no good evidence for demons or anything else super natural.
@@BLZ231 I feel like there was a fair share of evidence in the remake that the characters should not read the damn book. Dead cats in the basement, wrapped in barb wire, the writing in the book saying “don’t read this”. There was so many signs to just drop the book but no the characters pressed on and summoned demons. Very stupid of them
That’s a good point-in the original movie you don’t have a fool reading from the accursed book.The people in the cabin unwittingly release the demons by listening to a cassette tape.
Something I loved about the original was the fact that the camera felt physical, it felt as if we were the demon, following them to their doom. As if the camera was the demon and when it flips shit throughout the forest in these fast shaky feeling motions, you felt the rush as you got closer, and pulled back. I don't think many would've got that impression but it's something that has stuck with me all these years.
Yessss!!! The camera was as much a character as anyone. It was the unseen watcher who brought about the chaos!
_"Exactly! They're so similar, what's even the point?"_
Me when addressing the 2019 Lion King remake. LOL
I thought that too with lion king 2019. I found it worse than the original. Cant think of anything that the remake did better. I feel that almost everyone is going to not like it unless they never saw the original animated movie. To be honest I found the lion king 2 animated movie better than this remake.
The photorealistic CGI doesn't make sense for that kind of film either. If you're going to make a film about animals that can express and act similar to People, you can't *also* make them look life like. It only makes sense as a full on cartoon.
1000000man1 exactly
That's exactly why it should have been original remake vs the new one. Does anyone actually like the first movie more than the second one?
Lol nobody realizes or says that the 2019 lion king was this centuries shot-for-shot “remake” of Psycho
"Then POP goes the evil!!!" I always laugh due to how Devil Boner delivers that line
When he changes his voice, hes gotta be acting like beavis
A character named Mia that goes between being possessed and normal, while also being a badass? Sounds familiar...
Resident Evil 7, did you take something from this film?
Agent Fuse Resident Evil 7 takes a lot from mainly two movies: Texas chainsaw massacre and the evil dead.
Welcome to the family, son.
Well, RE7 was heavily inspired from The Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw massacre, so basically it was good, because it used old school horror tropes.
Agent Fuse Oh yeah, RE 7 remake is definitely influenced by Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre but I love it.
David Oncioiu I don't think that's why it was good but those were still very cool. And yeah, it's a damn good game.
Bill and Benny are brothers?! That makes so much sense how the hell did no one figure that out?
I honestly thought Bill and Black Willy Wonka were brothers...
They still could be.
Were you not paying attention all this time!?
Rodimus Rider, dude, I figured that out years ago! In fact, I thought we were going to get a new charatcer, one that could build off both Bill and Benny. Not saying Bill wasn't a great choice, but we need more of Bill's family, too!
25:08 I can just imagine someone walking by on the street and thinking "What the hell kind of drugs are they on?" and immediately start walking in the opposite direction as fast as possible! 😂😂
The old one has the word "THE" in it.
Therefore the old is the best.
some guy in an ambulance/Savage318 Right? The "The" in the title makes it the definitive Evil Dead.
The...
pleb Break time!
I thought they should’ve named Jane Levy “Ashley” for the remake instead of “Mia”. This time she’d be a girl so the name would be more fitting
That probably would've worked, but the remake is actually more of a soft reboot. Ash appears at the end in a post credit scene.
I think it was because she was a junkie and she ODs so it was kind of a reference to Pulp Fiction.
I think that would just be confusing to new viewers or insulting to old fans, but that is a cute idea :)
I honestly like the misdirection with the name. Tho i didn't really like eric because he was kinda late at stopping almost every killing, but i was expecting him to be the new Ash but went the other route
Plus it would have spelled DEAON instead of DEMON.
Glad to see Old vs New back again. Expecting a Beauty and the Beast one soon, and other ones I would love to see done would be:
1. Zorro (Tyrone Power vs Antonio Bandaras version)
2. Three Musketeers (1993 vs 2011)
3. Ocean's Eleven (George Clooney vs Frank Sintra)
4. Peter Pan (Disney's vs live-action 2003)
Yes! Thanks for having Zorro! Although I would rather choose the 1920 silent film or the 1940 remake.
Peter Pan 2003 hands down
There should even be a King Kong one (Super old vs old vs new vs super new). Maybe even RoboCop as well
Should check out Boots To Reboots reviews.
i want a Jumanji vs Zathura one
I think we can all agree that no matter how cheesy these movies are, they are indeed......
GROOVY!!!
Bill has always been the best NC character! I love the lore of his backstory
Seaver who's Bill again?
issac flores how could you forget Bill
You know, Bill? The most important character on NC? With his clear and expansive backstory?
Trevor Simmons I have no idea- wait you mean the guy with the fez at the end of the review played by Malcolm.
+issac flores How could you forget BILL?! He is in almost every episode of Nostalgia Critic! He is the heart and soul of the show AND it's viewers! He is the wind beneath our collective wings and the guiding light that pulls us through! If you have truly forgotten Bill than you are a HEATHEN that must be burned! BURN NON BILLIEVER BURN!
"It's like calling John Wayne "Daisy"" and in reality his name is Marion.... lol
24:21 - 24:25 How is it that Devil Boner takes the gun off the Critic's face, yet when we cut to the Critic, the gun is still pressing against him?
Also, where did Benny go when he brought his brother along? Did he just bring him in, and then leave?
That was weird
Yes
True @@randallthescandall7029 , but they have had 2 critics in one shot in reviews, like the one about The Phantom of the Opera
Where can we get Devil Boner action figures? I like having action figures of my favorite heroes.
Same here.
Lol 😂
My guilty pleasure is watching hyper and devil boner. Those two are hands down my favorite side characters.
but what about bill? he's been here through it all, he's arguably the heart and soul of the show
The OP said Hyper Fan Girl and Devil Boner were their favourite SIDE characters.
Bill is CLEARLY a Main Character. And not only is Bill the Main Character, but he is also the favourite character for EVERY ONE! Nobody can deny that Bill is clearly the best Main Character that exists anywhere.
Mmmmhmmm
Hyper Fangirl,Devil Boner and Malcom are my favorite side characters.
Alot harder to make these arguments against Evil Dead 2.
Because ED2 is just...great. So is ED3: Attack of the Props.
ED3: all the best Ash one-liners.
One thing I thought the remake vastly improved from the original that isn't really mentioned in this review is the parallel between the deadites and the protagonist's 'inner' demon - her addiction to drugs. That's why she has to fight the Abomination in the end, who insults Mia by calling her a 'pathetic junkie'. That's why the first deadite we see after the intro is portrayed by the same actor as Mia. The demons aren't only literal demons from hell, but the demons to be found within - such as a serious drug addiction, which changes you as a person and makes you harmful to yourself and your loved ones.
No he means the one that was never mentioned once during the movie but is actually there and makes sense and is actually really well done. That one
Emely Lucerne Thank you! Everyone who calls this "just another horror movie" can make no claim to be any authority on film. I still give it to the old too, btw, but it is a closer call then a lot of these people seem willing to admit.
Well it apparently wasn't obvious enough for NC, who can't figure out what the purpose of the final demon is, and therefore missed the main theme of the movie - addiction/self-harm and recovery. I love the first and I wouldn't say the remake is 'better', but it offers some deeper layers to the protagonist and her conflict, while the characters in the original Evil Dead were basically cardboard. .
Emely Lucerne
I understand that part, however the original was the most memorable and better written in my opinion. Bruce did a good job directing, however the writing was poorly executed.
If you care for such parallels at all.... which i personally don't.
I love how this video showing so much gore and blood still has ads on it while anything discussing the "wrong" opinions on politics, lgbt(qis+ect.) or even criticising youtube itself or using "bad words" is demonitized in a heartbeat.
I don't mean to say this doesn't deserve ads, i just wish other creaters were given a break and that our google overlordes would stop censoring and punishing dicenting opinions.
Probably because it's not real violence. Violent imagery is also way more tolerated than sexual imagery so it's not just a political thing. And when you say "wrong" opinions on lgbt, do you mean people who are anti gay? If people don't want to run their ads of videos like that, so what? That's not censorship.
The youtube algorithm just like the rating system i movies is a mess and pretty hypocritical in its own rules, its amazing on what can and cannot pass in these 2 very differente yet equal systems.
Well....Now no-one can say anything so...
NO NO NO NO....There is Evil Dead 2 that had the same sadistic humor but MORE Bruce Campbell, MORE Gory Scenes, More Memorable Monsters and the Chainsaw cutting hand scene! Second one is a masterpiece that outdones the original and the remake!
this 1000% percent
Agreed... Evil Dead 2 is the gem of the series.
That is very true.
But the thing is, he's not going to include the second one because this isn't an Evil Dead 2 Old Vs New. It's unfair to criticize a remake/reboot based off of anything but the original, since that's where the narrative is based most off of.
I always thought it was amusing how Evil Dead 2 is sort of a reboot of Evil Dead. heh
Evil Dead 1 was kinda an experiment for most involved, even Raimi admitted, 2 is the real deal.......AND WHY DID NO ONE SAID THAT THE SECOND BEATS BOTH? I mean it is the perfect mix of horror and comedy and made Bruce Campbell an icon.....Great jokes, great performance, memorable moments, untainted atmosphere and it even has some scsry bits! No other movie EVER gets you through all of those feelings !
Original is cheap looking but has a campy charm to it. The Remake has phenomenal effects, but lacks the soul [pun intended] of the originals, but still fun. If I had to pick one it'd be the original. The TV show is badass though!
I don't know, in the Second Season I started to notice an annoying Pattern with the Characters, that soured the whole Series to me.
Now that's what I call a bargain!
Dormammu agreed
the remake had its soul swallowed
I've come to bargain
I like both movies but I would personally choose the original
"In my non-professional opinion, you should talk to a professional." I love that so much
Godzilla (1954) vs Gozilla (1998) vs Godzilla (2014).
Jed Gorgonia Don't forget 2016.
Jedonius Gorgoñ 2014 and 2016 win hands down. No argument.
I say Godzilla 1997. ^-^
Dont you mean Godzilla (1954) vs Godzilla (1984) vs Godzilla (1998) vs Godzilla 2000 (1999) vs Godzilla (2014) vs Shin Godzilla (2016)?
Jedonius Gorgoñ 2 completely different Godzillas one mutant marine iguana all deserve love

Just and idea for Old vs New.
T2, SWQ8,3 He already kind of did with his review of Christmas with the (friggin) Kranks.
Carrie vs carrie
which one? there's been like 3. 4 if you count The Rage: Carrie 2
Tomious carrie 2013 vs carrie 1976
Is there really enough of a difference?
Vs Carrie Fisher aka the real winner
The old. Fuck the remake.
Wait... a woman named Mia, who goes to a cabin in the woods, gets possessed for a short time, and uses a chainsaw?
...
...
...
...
...
Did the remake inspire Resident Evil Biohazard?
Also, 13:12, you sick Doug?
Probably a little homage
Resident Evil 7 was inspired by plenty of horror movies. Evil Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Blair Witch Project, and throwing in a few classic slashers for good measure.
Fun Fact: John Wayne's real name is Marion Morrison. Not really a bad ass name huh?
Obviously you do if you felt the need to comment.
Marion is a bad ass name btw :)
That's actually really badass.
That is actually cooler.
Roy Roger also kinda sounds like an antagonist name, but not as much as Lennard Sly.
I really loved the remake, Jane Levy KILLED it as Mia
While I agree with pretty much every point, I DO have to point out one small flaw in the Atmosphere argument... the atmosphere for the remake was INTENDED to be the serious slasher that most fans agree the original was trying to shoot for, but simply went too far to create. While the atmosphere for the original is clearly the winner, I think it's unfair to label it as just another horror flick, because that was the point... to remake an accidentally hilarious horror film into a serious horror film. In that respect, it succeeded quite well.
Still... yeah, the original was better than the remake. The remake WAS pretty damn good, but you can't beat the original.
Squeaking Lion I don't see at all how it went too far. I think it hit exactly what it needed to hit. It accomplished what the original failed to be which was a melodramatic horror and did an excellent job at it. I consider the remake to be just as good as the original.
Bruce Campbell appeared on post-credits. But obviously it doesn't count as a cameo.
If you watch Ash's progression through the three movies he starts off as a scared nerdy guy, but as he goes insane fighting the deadites he becomes more and more a badass
You have to admit the hippie-nerd in the remake put up one hell of a fight to stay that alive.
Goodvillain 101 Oh yeah. 100%.
Exactly. And that latina chick was super hott
Goodvillain 101 man it was just not that guys day
24:15 Barrels on his face.
24:22 Barrels away from his face.
24:24 Barrels on his face again
You're getting sloppy, Critic. |:I
Or maybe it was done intentionally to poke fun at the original Evil Dead movie which was also full of continuity errors.
SuperTiberian Aren't you being Mr. Nitpick
i think it's intentional
In Bill we trust
Victor Riquelme bill has one of the best backstories ever
If it were evil dead 2 it would have won 100 percent
The groovy scene would be enough to make it win
Agreed
Never been this early and this may get bogged down by memes, but I just wanted to say, never stop making content Doug, you're my favourite thing about Wednesday :)
Original vs New: Stephen King's IT
Daniel Perpepaj you're gonna be waiting a long while for that one
Like how all of us have been waiting 7 years for the remake. Could wait a little longer.
he already reviewed the original it, wouldnt it be kind of redundant?
Not really. Because NC already posted a video: Top 11 Dumbest Spiderman moments from the Original trilogy. Then he did an Old vs. New with the Sam Raimi movies and Marc Webb ones.
that's different. he does editorials and countdown lists of things he's reviewed already or is going to review, but he's never done an old vs new AND a review on the same film because the old vs new is basically enough of an analysis already.
when they talked about the supporting cast, was I the only one disappointed that they ignored the easy "that guy with the glasses" joke?
bookreader1997 what about the dog that died
Good ole Ash Williams.
Smurfs 2 review: Who the hell is Bill?

I love that doug's oc is basically a fallout character.
Also I feel ya critic I'm usually held prisoner by my friends when they have similar objects with disagreements˜
10:09 well considering john waynes real name is marion I dont think he would put ash's name down
13:12 Doug, with all due respect--what the hell was that sound lol
The sound of all hope leaving
Or a hair ball stuck in his throat.
Couple...goals? Couple goals.
And THIS is how you incorporate a skit into a review. Good job guys!
The Ring (Japan) vs The Ring (USA) or
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish) vs The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (USA).
Nick Kurtz Please don't kill me but I think the American Ring is better than the Japanese one.. yes, the Japanese one is more artistic and has cool effects, but the American had a completely fleshed out story that kind of made sense.
Nick Kurtz I will stand with the Swedish version til I die
wel the swedish/norwegian version is of course better, it was dumb down so damn much for the american version and american film directors clearly cant do melancholy.
Yeah, all you would get from that are arrogant assholes who will say the non-American versions are superior just because they aren't American and think such petty subjectivity somehow reflects on all Americans as people. It's just a can of worms for such bigots.
I like them both. If I had to choose I'd pick the remake because it looks better. Now if it was evil dead two, that wins hands down; for shear batshit badass.
On the special edition of the evil dead DVD, Bruce Campbell said at the end of the film Sam Raimi wanted everything in the film to die. Hence why when the credits end in the original the upbeat music ends up dying and ends with the eerie wind and insects noise that began the movie. The original definitely had a feeling of complete and utter doom.
I spy with my lil-eye a Halo Reach legendary edition models in the back ground on the NC's left shoulder
3:58
I really hope he does an old vs new for beauty and the Beast.
Matthew Bradley I bet you he will, it is one of his fav Disney movies.
It'll probably have to wait a while though if they actually want to employ clips.
The dude with the glasses has the perfect Batman voice!
he needs to do this with rocky horror.
Noragnir N/A hell yeah!
Old is better
As fun as that would be, it'd also be way too predictable. Old would win by miles.
There is a new Rocky Horror?
@@PageofLegend Sadly, yes. It was remade in 2016 as a tv movie, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter was played by a black, transgender woman (though Tim Curry did have a role in this one). I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's pretty bad.
I always thought the "eraser head baby guy" was a previously possessed person who also got burnt like the daughter but the demon escaped or got banished before killing the person
AlienToppedPancakes just a random messed up hillbilly character for the sake of random messed up hillbilly characters.
AlienToppedPancakes Very good analogy.
True, that's a totally reasonable explanation but Chechov's gun. A "good" movie wouldn't randomly show something that eye-catching if it didn't have anything to do with the story. How I see it, it gives the scene more history. That hillbilly family has gone this before and the father might have approached them seeking help, maybe to banish the demon that possessed his daughter. It's also an element that makes the viewers believe why the father might have trusted this kinda scary family in the first place, because we can clearly see those are burn scars. But a movie has several different interpretations, just my thought
I watched the review while eating...Big mistake
The more important question is: You've really not seen either the original or the remake?
"I can't even!"
"You can and you have!"
".....I'm Benny"
Lmao
I JUST REALIZED THIS IS NOSTALGIA CRITICS 420th VIDEO!!!!!!!! 420!!!!!
Alicia Agos Blaze it
Alicia Agos I'll get the weed
Fitting, considering the remake was basically a detox story.
AYYYY
Ayy 4/20
The original Evil Dead vs the remake? Who cares? Evil Dead 2 blows both of them out of the water.
In all honesty though. If I, personally were to put this series in order from worst to best, it would go the original, then the remake, then Army of Darkness, the show (though I haven't seen season 2 yet), and the second is the best.
Just to clarify though, I love all the movies, and the show, and wouldn't call a single bit of it bad.
"the original wins because the remake is a remake" is what I got
Harley King that's like saying The Thing sucked because it was a remake
Yeah no offense but that's a shitty argument. I haven't completely seen the evil dead 2013 but from what I have seen of it, I can say that it is NOT just a typical Hollywood horror movie. The gore is something that even r rated Hollywood horror movies haven't really done. Fede Alverez and the cinematographers worked their asses off with the way the movie was shot and the way the gore was handled, and to just downplay it like the critic did was very dissapointing.
I really want to see NC talk about the Evil Dead miniseries on Netflix
Holy shit this intro is badass.
hollywoodJED1 Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. Good Homage.
Gabriel Bryant that's what it felt like it parodying
I liked the original more. ;)
I find it way too cheesy and ugly... but meh ok it's just an intro after all :v
hollywoodJED1 I like it
Doug here's some more Old vs New video ideas,
Pete's Dragon
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Friday The 13th
The Crazies
Total Recall
Footloose
Robocop
The Jungle Book
101 Dalmatians
Night Of The Living Dead
Psycho
Planet Of The Apes
Alice In Wonderland
Why are most of my suggestions horror movies?.... Whatever.
L.S.A The rest of the live action Disney remakes. (Did we really NEED a live action Beauty and the Beast? The cartoon version is considered one of the greatest movies ever made iirc)
don't forget Charlotte's Web
Most of those wouldn't really be interesting. This was a great video because of how surprised a lot of people were that they actually did a decent job with this Evil Dead reboot. I rarely even give reboots a chance and I found myself just having so much fun during this film.
L.S.A sleeping beauty?
L.S.A YES!!!Alice in wonderland.
Devil Boner is my favourite character of the show, alongside with the Malcolm as the Devil.
And Bill.
Same
Why does the evil dead remake make me think of friday the 13th......but with people getting possessed. Idk why it reminds me of it. Probully the gore in it.
roxygurl! The girl that makes cringe comic dubs Friday the 3th but with people getting possessed...Oh so part 9 Jason Goes To Hell, they both have the necronomicon
roxygurl! The girl that makes cringe comic dubs I think the cinematography is kinda similar. They both have a very pale-ish yellow look to them in a lot of scenes.
roxygurl! The girl that makes cringe comic dubs *probably
roxygurl! The girl that makes cringe comic dubs better question why we're there no adaptation of ash vs Freddy vs Jason
First! He needs to review "Shorts! The adventure of the wishing rock!"
Tino 2008 Yess
YEEEEESSSSSSSS (Although when I was younger I thought the bully girl was hot) Ii would love to see him tackle that nonsencical weird mess
Who the fuck remember that movie?!
Evil dead 2 was better than Evil dead 1 and the remake combined.
There, I said it!
I agree.
fux yews wasn't evil dead 2 supposed to be a remake/sequel anyway
fux yews and the sky is blue
Steward of Autumn it was supposed to be a sequel, but Sam Raimi lost the rights to the first film through legal loopholes, and decided to make it a remake at the same time. The first part of the movie retells the events of the original movie, then it spirals quickly into a continuation of character Ash becomes.
fux yews Case close
bill is the new religion.
I'm sure this isn't what the filmmaker were trying to do. But in the original, when the camera is following the car and the branches are hitting the camera, it kind of gives me the feeling that there is a physical (yet invisible) entity watching them
Yesssss!
Here are some suggestions for Old VS New which some on my list alot of people would want you to do
Old VS New: Pyscho
Old VS New: Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Old VS New: Halloween
Old VS New: Friday the 13th
Old VS New: A Nightmare on Elm Street
Every time I see bill I love him more. Someday do a review or editorial in which bill takes over
Mr. Mister no that would ruin Bill's entire purpose. he's a character all of them know incredibly well but we never will. well get small tidbits sure but never anything substantial. keep him mhming.
+Kain Speak for yourself. I know Bill like I know myself and he holds a special place in my heart.
viljamtheninja Bill is love Bill is life :D
I think what really makes something great is if it stays with people, and makes an impact on them. Look at us still talking about the original almost 40 years later. That's how much of an impact it made on us. Its only been 4 years, and I don't really see many people talking about the remake. So I think that, even though people might of liked the new one, the original is the better movie. Oh, and Ash is an icon( Something that it seems Mia will never be).
Oh there are PLENTY of people still talking about Evil Dead 2013 all over the internet. People keep asking for a sequel to happen (Or Mia to appear in Ash vs Evil Dead). Most consider it the best horror remake out there and plenty (including me) consider it one of the greatest horror films of this generation.
Personally i think its a much better movie than the originals. Also the 2013 Evil Dead's popularity just keeps growing as years pass. Just like with the original. In 10-15 or so years 2013 Evil Dead will most probably be considered a classic.
Oh and Mia has started to develop her own fan base (people have been dressing as Mia in conventions , getting Mia tattoos)
So you are wrong.
I wonder what would happen if Mia and Ash worked together to murder their possessed former friends? Mia can be reluctant to kill her brother David and Ash with Linda or Cheryl.
Wonderlandian mia in evil dead remake wouldnt work well in ash vs evil dead imo. That movie was too serious to be in such a funny show. also did you just say the remake was better tHAN ALL OF THE FUCKING MOVIES? BECAUSE YOU ARE SO WRONG. EVIL DEAD 2 AND ARMY OF DARKNESS ARE AMAZING CULT CLASSICS.
@@wonderlandian8465 No, he's right. Oh, and The Thing shits all over this as far as horror remakes go. Most would agree with that.
Love the acting and writing at 8:10, Dough and Tamara should do more scenes together
If the new Ghost in the Shell ends up being good, they should an Old vs New for that
Daniel Attrell Even though Doug is much of an Anime fan, I would like to see that if possible.
It probably won't be though taking into account that Avi Arad is working on the movie
Old vs new Hairspray
there's a remake?
Explosion Productions don't forget the live one though
Explosion Productions eh, I'd count it
I saw the play of it, it was hell
Bean Nut New Hairspray.
Easy
Anyone else notice the mistake at the end where devil boner pushes nc against the wall with his gun, only to lower it, to have it cut back to nc with it still in his face, to have it cut back again to devil boner with his gun still lowered.
David Keymer I've been scrolling down though all the comments to see if anyone noticed that!
David Keymer I noticed it too. It was too obvious.
I noticed that too and was like oops continuity error
Give them credit, though: I've watched countless videos on this channel, and this may be the first noticeable continuity error I have seen from them!
Yes! This is what being a filmmaker does to you, man.
We need more old vs new, love this miniseries! Seeing the debating portion is always interesting, and it gives good recommendations. Probably the most relevant series now since remakes are everywhere.
Mia is also in the new Resident Evil 7 Coincidence?
no she's not
Khizr Imrin That's a different person
The inspiration for re7 was taken from evil dead.
The chainsaw, Mia, even that word groovy which jack baker coined after picking up his chainsaw.
Ethan's Car is also the same make and model as Ash's Car. There's definitely homages to Evil Dead in there.
She even looks similar here that she does in RE7
When the new "IT" movie comes out, will you make an "Old vs New" about that?
I remember when someone said I was ugly I was like "I'm not a mirror"
Uhmm... snap?
Flower of the Night crackle and pop.
Wasn't evil dead 2 a semi..remake?
the fist bit was a retelling, they couldn't use old clips due to copyright laws and all that jazz
Evil Dead was them with a budget of 5 dollars and a case of beer trying to make the scariest, shocking-est movie they could. In many respects it was, but over time, people pointed out how comical and funny it was. So they remade it in Evil Dead 2, but with the horror-comedy angle and a budget of 10 dollars and a keg. This was so successful that they made Army of Darkness and almost dropped all the horror for just the comedy.
@@splunky2536 Wasn't it made by the same company though?
