While puttering around, trying to find the source of a barely-noticeable reek that's driving Mia up the walls, the boys find a basement full of mutilated cat corpses hanging from the ceiling, and a book tied up in thick cloth and heavy barbed wire seeing absolutely nothing suspicious about any of these details, Eric opens up the book, the Naturom Demonto, with an eye to translating its several gruesomely-illustrated pages. Her two very good friends, Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Olivia (Jessica Lucas) are certain that only several days of isolation hours away from the nearest fix will help her her estranged brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) just wants to reconnect and rebuild David's girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) is there only out of what I can describe only as a fathomless lack of class.
The basic concept is pretty much the same, with wrinkles: five young people have all arrived at a remote cabin in the woods, for the purposes of sobering up one of their number, Mia (Jane Levy), a heroin addict working on her last chance after a recent overdose left her clinically dead for a few minutes.

Moreover, it's rather overt about its intentions to replace the campfire story creepiness of that film with over-the-top gore effects and a truly unfortunate reliance on jump scares, and I, for one, have not yet hit the point where I'm willing to allow that the fundamental shift in cinematic horror over the last 30+ years from "the thing that gives me the creeps" to "the thing that throws a cat at me and makes me jump" is good in any way whatsoever.īut for all that, Evil Dead managed to have me on board for at least half of its 91 minutes, and even after it starts to go to shit - rather, even after it hits a point where it becomes very clear that it will not be rising above a certain level of gores-over-scares that seemed, initially, like it just might be part of the wind-up - there are flashes of the great movie that this could have been the great movie that this, strictly speaking, was, back when Raimi was a desperate, hungry young indie filmmaker with some twisted ideas, and not a brand name and genre film icon whose work as a producer - for he did indeed produce this movie, and has been very excited about it all throughout the promotional tour - has largely consisted of one variety or another of unmitigated dreck (even taking into account every single thing that goes wrong, Evil Dead is the best of his producer-only credits that I have personally seen). It is, after all the remake of a truly iconic original, Sam Raimi's 1981 debut feature, and horror remakes as a class are not terribly impressive. David and Olivia find Mia and take her back to the cabin.How much easier life would be - or at least, the composition of this essay - if Evil Dead was as consistently bad as it has every reason to be. The girl, a demonic form of Mia, emits a black tar-like thorn vine from her mouth that slithers into Mia, and possesses her. Mia stumbles into a circular opening to a thorn bush and becomes entangled by possessed vines. Emerging from the mud, the demon chases Mia through the woods. Mia steals the car keys and drives away from the cabin, but the demonic girl causes her to crash in a swamp. They refuse, believing that she is simply experiencing the effects of withdrawal. Mia begins seeing a bloody girl in the woods, and begs the group to leave because she is scared. The group discover the cellar, littered with rotting animal corpses, a shotgun, and a book called the Naturom Demonto.Eric, despite written warnings, reads aloud an incantation and awakens a malevolent force. The group plans to stay in the cabin while Mia overcomes her addiction to heroin. Storyline: Evil Dead (2013) David and his girlfriend Natalie arrive at a cabin in the woods, where the pair meet up with his younger sister Mia and his friends Eric and Olivia.
