Usually the comments on YouTube videos don’t really offer much in the way of enlightenment. But after the new red-band trailer for Evil Dead — it’s above and very gruesome; you’ve been warned — went up on the video sharing site, one smart commenter going by the name SnippFilm hit the nail on the head (metaphorically speaking): “And the award for MTV’s best kiss goes to….”

Movie buffs who have been waiting with cautious anticipation for Fede Alvarez’s reboot of the Sam Raimi horror classic probably remember the gruesome tongue-slicing from the movie’s first trailer (below). But what they didn’t know until this latest clip is what comes after: A bloody, horrific kiss that must been seen to be believed (if you can manage not to look away).

That kiss, in turn, comes after the blood vomit, evil mirror reflections and bloody chainsaw massacres, proving that even if the film doesn’t eclipse its 1981 forbear it won’t be for lack of giving it an honest, gory try. And there’s hope that it will live up to the original — it’s being produced by Raimi, who hand-picked Alvarez to direct, and the original Ash, Bruce Campbell. Add to that the fact that Diablo Cody did some work on the script, and there’s a good shot this thing will have a lot of the camp and guts that made the original so brilliant.

Whether or not it lives up to it’s tag line “The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience” (see poster below) remains to be seen.

Evil Dead hits theaters April 12.
