A hell of a horror movie!!!

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2013)

Setting aside any comparisons of this film versus Sam Raimi's originals, I proceed with my review.
This is a kick ass horror movie, a fresh feast in such a watered-down genre. Straight to the point, here is why it's so great. The premise of the characters being at a cabin in the woods is believable, and original despite that setting alone being cliché on its own. All of the characters make excellent performances at all times throughout the film. Gore? Plenty of it-but very well done and refreshing all the same for each scenario its in. In fact, it is done so well and keeps pace with the speed of the film and story, etc. that I laughed in amazement of its brilliancy. Scary? Perhaps, at some points, for some people. Whoever wants to be scared will probably. Others might expect things that happen as they do if you know the horror genre well enough. And even up until the very end, this movie never gives up, never falls flat. All I can say its an enjoyable, well-done film. Taking all this into account, I suggest for a REAL new and refreshing take for a horror movie amongst others coming out these days, it's a must see. I would even be in favor of a sequel, but ONLY if the director or writers can top or at minimum match the level of this film throughout. Have fun and go see it!
