The_Horror_Czar wrote 101 Days Ago (neutral) 0The Evil Dead is as enduring as it is for a ton of reasons, and some of those reasons are the very "imperfections" and "flaws" associated with a low budget film made before technology allowed for fancy effects on the cheap. The micro-budget and necessary creativity needed to make this film work in the first place will be lost in a higher-budget remake, even if it's fantastic.0 points
