Mia, a drug addict, is determined to kick the habit. To that end, she asks her brother, David, his girlfriend, Natalie and their friends Olivia and Eric to accompany her to their family's remote forest cabin to help her through withdrawal. Eric finds a mysterious Book of the Dead at the cabin and reads aloud from it, awakening an ancient demon. All hell breaks loose when the malevolent entity possesses Mia.
Evil Dead (2013) is a relentless assault on the senses. I don't think I’ve ever uttered the word "eww" quite so frequently during a single viewing; the practical effects are as impressive as they are stomach-churning. While I suspect there were numerous callbacks to the original franchise that went over my head, I’m reserving a final judgment until I’ve caught up on the source material. For now, it’s a grueling, high-intensity watch that isn't for the faint of heart.
Recommend it - eh
