Do you love blood, gore, destruction and lots of horror? All these packed into one cabin, coupled with four friends chased by an evil demon. Here’s a spooky movie that is sure to raise your heckles this summer.
Perhaps if you have watched the older three versions of Evil Dead, you will be able to rate the latest offering by director Fede Alvarez, in comparison to Sam Raimi’s original version of Evil Dead. I wasn’t disappointed and am sure you won’t be either after watching this movie.
Plot:
Mia (Jessica Lucas) is a drug addict who suffers an overdose and almost reaches death’s door, till she is hospitalized. Her friends choose this old cabin in the forest to get away from the city and help Mia cut through the habit of addiction. The friendly rendezvous takes an ugly twist when they enter the cabin and discover a deadly stench coming from animal carcasses, a completely burnt dead body hung inside, with a book Naturom Demonto wrapped in a polythene bag. A warning to not open or touch the book is written in blood on its cover.
Yet, just like the adage ‘curiosity kills the cat,’ one of the friends, Eric (Lou Taylor) opens the book and reads it aloud to everyone, despite warnings from his friends. Just like the book warns, an evil demon appears and makes Mia the target. Mia asks everyone to leave the cabin, but her friends refuse to abandon her. She runs out and drives the car to escape. Unfortunately, the demon takes the form of a girl who appears in front of the car. Mia loses balance and gets injured badly after landing in the ditch.
Somehow she extricates herself from the vehicle and runs across the forest, when she is caught by a tree that entwines itself around her and enters her body. The demon takes over her body and makes her unleash evil on her friends. The climax takes the breath away with the prophecy of the book coming true, with the re-entry of original Evil Dead stars Bruce Campbell and Ash Williams who deliver their famous dialogues in the end.
The film’s director unabashedly uses oozing blood, extreme violence and powerful audio in a spooky forest setting to create fear and evil in the audience. Inspired by the extreme gore of the original flick and keeping with the blood-filled scenes, this movie is no exception and has kept up with the status quo of Raimi’s flick.
In fact, Alvarez has brought back the tree rape scene from its original movie. This scene had created a lot of controversy at the time of the earlier movie’s release.
