My thoughts around Evil dead (2013)

This movie was amazing. It was horrible to watch, many times I wanted to look stop watching because it was so disturbing, but I was compelled to keep watching. Now I have used this argument against another movie before, but that was in an entirely different setting. i used this argument against Hostel, a speculative over the top violent torture feast movie. That I still belive is complete and utter crap btw. There are very few movies where people are mean to eachother in a setting that could happen that I like.This is a movie with a supernatural theme, and as long as that is the case for me the further away from reality it is, the better it is. The usual filters of acceptable violence and gore for me is then automatically reduced to practically nothing. There are a couple of laughs in here, however where the original movies were commedies with horror elements and tons of gore, this is a horror movie with a couple of laughs in it. This movie pushes your buttons and feed on your fears. Fear of the dark, fear of confined spaces, fear of death and fear of things that goes bump in the night. I had allmost given up hope that it could happen, but here we finally have a horror movie that managed to fill a jaded old fart like me with dread. I loved it.
