There are tons of videos on YouTube featuring condensed versions of classic films. Some are meant to spoof the original movie while others are clear homages. What I never knew is that there is an entire film festival for one minute remakes of old films.

Virgin Radio’s 95.3 FM. a Vancouver based station, holds an annual Fake Film Festival for aspiring filmmakers to take any movie and redo it in 60 seconds. This entry from directors Gigi Saul Guerrero & Luke Bramley shows a clear love for the original Sam Raimi version of EVIL DEAD. With the remake hitting theaters next month, it is cool to see that a 21st century production of the movie still looks good with practical effects.
