So, this past week, Gofobo sent me passes to go see a screening of "Evil Dead"!
Isn't she lovely?

I have actually never seen any of the "Evil Dead" films. I knew they were horror films, which is probably why I had never seen them. Sometimes I'm in the mood to watch horror films, and when I am in the mood, I'm very particular about the ones I do watch. I usually don't like to be too scared.
I invited one of my co-workers to attend the screening with me, and we ended up getting to the theatre over an hour early. We were lucky enough that, as a "consolation prize" to getting our cell phones quickly snatched up, we were able to get goodies for attending the screening!
Postcards! Very appropriately labeled.
A poster that will never hang where I live.
T-shirt! My city, Nashville, is of course not on this list.

"Evil Dead" was a really good film. The scares, the thrills, the gore... It just kept coming and coming. It really does not stop from beginning to end. There were some moments where I was on the edge of my seat and I was thinking, "It's too quiet! Just come out, whatever is in the shadows!"
I will warn everyone: this film isn't for those with weak hearts or stomachs. I know I may sound like a Disneyland ride, but it's true. There are plenty of horror films that have grossed me out, but this one... I legit gagged. I definitely wasn't expecting this film to be as graphic as it was, but I suppose that's what I get for not seeing the original film.
This is a film I wouldn't mind watching with a group of people around Halloween, and perhaps Halloween only. It's a great horror film. I'm glad to see early reviews are good for the film, because it's different and better than other horror films that are being released these days.
If you're a fan of horror films, or don't mind seeing them, go see this! If you absolutely do not like horror films... Stay far away from this.
