Decent Remake

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2018)

Director Fede Alvarez heaps on the gore ....sometime more than I wanted, in this re-imagining of the original Raimi film.
Jane Levy is very solid in the role of drug-addicted Mia, who wreaks holy hell on the rest of her group of trapped cabin dwellers once she becomes demonically possessed. She looks Exorcism ghoulish -- props to the makeup department -- while entertaining as well, throwing in a few zingers like the one she says to her brother, "Mia's not here you idiot! Your little sister's being raped in hell !!"
Again, if you can stand all the gore there's a story here. Most importantly, never open a book that has been bound shut by steel wire. It ultimately leads to your death.
