Same here. For some reason I've found gore harder to watch and I used to be immune to it. But I am looking forward to his. How does it compare to Martyrs?

Just got back from seeing it....5/10. Really wasn't that good. A lot of wasted opportunity. There was blood and gore but it wasn't used correctly. I think the movie got stuck between trying to be campy, blond headed guy, and serious. There was no tension to the movie at all. The clip at the beginning wasn't needed. A bunch of hillbillies from Pumpkinhead...come on.
Martyrs was very good and the gore was used appropriately.

How was it not used correctly? You can't tell me
The Chainsaw kill at the end wasn't completely bad ***

A serious gore movie.
Not interested. I want fun gore. I want to laugh at the gore.

Just found it.
Now, you say laugh.
Wasn't this ED remake also a serious gore movie, unlike ED 2.
Just came back from seeing this and I thought it was pretty fantastic. The look of the film was excellent, the story had enough going on to keep me interested and thought it took the seriousness very well - didn't see a lot of camp going on.
For those that didn't like, sorry to hear it. Really hope they do another movie in this rebooted universe.
9/10 from me. Expected to hate it based on comments here, but halfway through the movie, I asked myself, 'when does it start to suck?'
Never did

Can't promise you'll like it as I did, but I don't get the hate from some.

No worries, I like lolcats.
This just dawned on me...from Ain't it cool news
and
something is brewing for the return of Ash
During the credits they have the voiceover of who you think is Professor Nighby, the guy reading out of the Necronomicon in the original films, but as it gets closer to the end of the credits you realize it’s Bruce reading it. At the end he says something like “If they should ever return… call me.” And you see Bruce in silhouette, he turns to the camera and says “Groovy.”
and
Quint: But see… the way you frame the cameo, with him saying “if they come back, call me” you’re kind of promising Bruce returning as Ash. At least people are going to read it that way. I did.
Fede Alvarez: I’m not saying yes, I’m not saying no.
Quint: I’m just saying… Jane lost her left hand, Ash lost his right… they’re kind of a perfect fit. A yin and a yang.
Fede Alvarez: (Smiles) I wish I could tell you what we’re doing.
Fede Alvarez: I’m not saying yes, I’m not saying no.

I'm a huge horror fan. Just wasn't impressed at all with this remake. It just was in no way scary. I was just expecting more. The best part of the movie was the blond headed guy. The first part reminded me of Pumpkinhead. I guess I just didn't care about the characters at all.
I can totally understand that. I just don't get how you didn't think the gore was used correctly. Also is there really any horror movies that are truly scary? Closest one I can think of was REC and even that wasn't even scary. I have a hard time rating horror movies low if it doesn't scare me. Are some movies creepy? Absolutely but really can't think of any that makes me truly scared.

I just got back from checking this out. I have always considered The Evil Dead as a benchmark in the horror genre and it's been a treasured personal favorite since I first saw it as a boy with my father.
This new Evil Dead lacks the charm of the original, and at times feels a little too clean and polished. I have always adored the slightly crude style and the rough edges that frame the presentation of the original. This didn't feel like the B movie it was based on, therefore some of the magic felt lost in this modern retelling. I did not care for the hillbilly prologue, it was unnecessary and felt very out of place. I would have skipped over that entirely if I were able to. Also I missed the levitating deadites. Now they merely stumble around like demonic puppets, which was cool and effective, but it just didn't feel like The Evil Dead to me. I also felt the climax was a little, well, anticlimactic. It certainly wasn't on par with the final battles in either of the original two films.
All of that said, overall I really enjoyed it. It was well-made on all technical levels and I found myself genuinely entertained throughout. The film featured solid acting, a very good score, great gore, plenty of shocking moments, and a heck of a lot of fun. I may sound somewhat overly critical, but I really dug it, even if it had no chance of topping the original for me personally. I recommend it, but not as much as the original two films.

Saw it Tuesday, Midnight.
Fan-****ing-tastic.
I loved every but. The gore was cringe inducing with every cut, dismemberment and stab.
Everyone in my theater was laughing with nervous joy, and shouting "MY GOD!" while watching these poor people deal with insane punishments.
Cannot wait to see what Fede has next.

Just got back from a sold out showing and I thought it was fantastic, 8.5/10. Stay through the end credits people!
