OMG, the original movie freaked me out so bad, that is why I don't watch horror movies anymore!
*Kismet runs screaming from the thread... Save me with your witchcraft Tom Cruise!*
My friends in college introduced me to the Evil Dead series. The original sure is... something.
I actually got my boyfriend to watch it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He was mostly unimpressed, but I still find it pretty charming in its terribleness. I don't know if a remake will recapture that feeling, since it's one of those movies that's so bad that it's good. Then again, Army of Darkness was completely self-aware, and it's amazing. I'll have to keep an eye on it.
(If it's a straight horror film, it will probably be mediocre at best.)
