Evil Dead (2013)

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

This film is the fourth installment to the Evil Dead franchise. Four friends, David, Eric, Olivia, and Natalie stay at a remote cabin in the woods to support Mia. They unwittingly summons demons that live in the woods. The demons posses them slowly killing them off until one is left. 

This film was directed by Fede Alvarez. This film is both a reboot and a loose continuation of the franchise. It is different than the original, but familiar. It keeps true to the story, but does not continue the same humor in the original. It's also different without the popular character Ash. This film does offer several simple and effective jumps and scares. It is also a great gore-fest. It is comical in that the gore is sometimes over the top, and the characters make every mistake possible. This films cinematography has a dark ambiance familiar to horror movies. The monster effects was great. It was great to watch the changes the characters go through. Naturally this film isn't suitable for children, because of the violent gore in it. Interesting enough, there isn't any sex in this film but there are some hints. 

The cast worked great together. Jane Levy played the role of Mia. She was great in her role. She was great in creating a monster, and a hero. Shiloh Fernandez played the role of David. He was great in his role. He created a recognizable hero. Lou Taylor Pucci played the role of Eric. He was good in his role. Jessica Lucas played the role of Olivia. She was good in her role. Elizabeth Blackmore played the role of Natalie. She was good in her limited role. 

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! This is a great gore horror film. It fails to provide the over the top humor the original provided. 

Answer to last blog: Actress Carice van Houten, Intruders, also starred in the film Repo Men.
