As you may have read online, the trailer for The Evil Dead remake has leaked.  I gave it the benefit of the doubt.  Look, I'm just as opposed to superfluous remakes as the next frothing horror junkie, but I want this film to succeed.  After viewing it (video above...see for yourself), all I can say is...really???  They went the shot-for-shot route?  C'mon, it looks EXACTLY like the original!  For fuck's sake, the score is identical.  Even the lead is an eidetic duplicate of Bruce Campbell.  Why not just re-release the original?

I wonder how many people will get the joke.
