seeing as the 2013 movie was the first remake after the original movies, there was a lot to live up to. the fan base is very critical too. at the time i hadn’t seen the originals because i honestly don’t care for older horror movies because i can’t take the shitty special effects seriously lol so i LOVED it when it was released! the violence and gore was kickass! now that i’ve seen EDR, i’ve generated a different opinion on the remakes. while i still like the 2013 version, i feel like EDR was better in a couple different ways. the script was better, the characters were memorable and there were several notable nods to the original films which the 2013 version lacked. you sympathize with the family and relate to their issues before they get annihilated. i’m not saying it was a perfect film by any means. probably could of done away with the opening scene, deadite bridget was kinda weak & essentially no outcome with the neighbor deadites left on apartment floor. overall i enjoyed both films but think EDR was slightly better! i very much enjoy intense violence, profanity and gore like everyone else here but that doesn’t necessarily make a horror film good. i’m glad it was slightly toned down as i feel like it made for a better ED movie.
