Evil Dead (Unrated)

While the original may be dated, it's better than this garbage remake. Original had a 'slow burn' horror element, this is a rushed and contrived experience that misses all the points. Gore IS NOT horror and this remake seems to think otherwise. Some other major flaws of the movie: 1) Group not know a basement existed in the cabin though it was said early on that it was a family cabin. 2) Dog pawing at carpet instantly gives the idea to clear the area and move the rug (when my dog paws at the carpet I tell them to stop) 3) Seemed to know where to find the light switch in the said basement they didn't know existed in their moms cabin. 4) Upon entering the back area filled with hanging animals and when asked what it is the first suggest is "Witchcraft!" (really?) oh and apparently everyone can smell the rotting animals now, not just one person. 5) The spirit/demons are give physical forms seen by the victims 6) Possessed people seem to just pop in some colored contacts and smear fake blood over themselves. I could go on and on...but I think you get the point. Horrible remake...stick with the classic.

secluded cabin. An ancient curse. An unrelenting evil. The original producers reunite to present a genuinely terrifying re-imagining of their original horror masterpiece. Five young friends have found the mysterious and fiercely powerful Book of the Dead. Unable to resist its temptation, they release a violent demon on a bloodthirsty quest to possess them all. Who will be left to fight for their survival and defeat this unearthly force of murderous Carnage.

I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. Since this movie first came out, I've been nervous about watching it because I don't do so well with gore. I was grossed out for a couple of the more gory parts, but was able to stomach all of it. This movie is downright unsettling and the use of practical effects over digital makes seem more real, despite it's pretty fictional plot. All of the actors put on excellent performances too.
