Amy, Fran, I'm surprised Nathan Fillion isn't in it.
Timu, it'll depend on if it's serious or comedic to decide if it's a remake of Evil Dead or Dead by Dawn.
While ED was lame enough to warrant a spoof of itself - it actually presented interesting ideas. It seemed to break all the horror movie cliches:
- The first person to be attacked is the only girl who wasn't getting nookie that weekend. (Usually they’re the ones alive at the end.)
- Rather than running further into the house and cornering herself (a common error), she runs outside, only to find that the evil is everywhere, not just inside the house. (Especially in the trees – unless that was 2, I can’t remember).
- The second to last person to be attacked is the person responsible for unleashing the evil / and also the most annoying person in the group. (Usually they’re one of the first to go.)
- The evil doesn’t stop with sunrise. (Ash leaves the cabin, thinking it’s over when the sun comes up, only to be attacked.)
- The hero dies / no one survives.
