Violence Personified...

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2013)

The fourth installment of the Evil Dead franchise, serving as both a reboot and as a loose continuation of the series, 'Evil Dead' is Violence Personified. If the original left you horrified with its violence then, the violence in this reboot will leave you traumatized.
'Evil Dead' Synopsis: Five friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. The evil presence possesses them until only one is left to fight for survival.
'Evil Dead' fails to frighten, but repulses nevertheless. The storytelling relies only violence & only violence to salvage the show. There's nothing wrong to show bloodshed, but there needs to be a tale as well.
The Performances in 'Evil Dead' range from average to dull. The actual merits of this recent-hit are, The Atmospheric Direction given by Fede Alvarez & The Haunting Cinematography by Aaron Morton.
On the whole, 'Evil Dead' offers gore aplenty, but no tale.
