Evil Dead

2013 · 1h 31m · Horror

IMDb 6.5 Metacritic 57 RT 64%

Skip this one unless you're a hardcore Evil Dead completist. The 2013 remake trades the original's campy charm for joyless torture-porn brutality, and while it has its gnarly moments, it lacks the inventiveness and dark humor that made the franchise worth revisiting in the first place.

Plot

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.
