Alvarez shows the goods right out of the gate with a fakeout prologue that sets the stage. The two aligning concepts may eventually merge in a future film. The attention writer/director Fede Alvarez got from his 2009 short "Panic Attack!" (you can watch it here) led him to Sam Raimi, the director of the 1981 original, and when Alvarez pitched his ideas for this remake, Raimi got behind the project as a producer even as Raimi plots his third sequel. With the exception of Werner Herzog's "Nosferatu the Vampyre," this may be the best remake of a horror film and is certainly head and shoulders over any recent do-overs, too many of which have bowed to the more commercial PG-13 rating. The fact that it's a remake makes it even more remarkable. I always say you have to watch 100 horror films to find a good one.
