Pure terror!!

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2013)

After she barely survived an overdose, Mia (Jane Levy) will finally recover from her drug addiction. Her best friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) have therefore organized a withdrawal weekend in a remote cabin in the woods and also invited Mia's brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) and his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore). First, everything goes according to plan, but then they discover a hatch to a basement room full of hanged cats, in which they also find a book bound in human skin - the Book of the Dead. Though all pages are scribbled with warnings, Eric speaks a prayer in a foreign language and unknowingly awakes an old demon....
Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead is a remake of the horror classic from 1981. Its film poster promises "the most terrifying film you will ever experience". Thanks to this announcement Evil Dead was the most anticipated movie of the year for me. And yes, my high expectations were satisfied! This movie is pure terror from the beginning to end and hurts physically and mentally. The simple storyline is full of shock effects and ultra violent gore scenes that give you the creeps and make you want to look away. If nail gun, electric bread knife, chainsaw, shotgun or shards of glass - everything is used to kill or mangle. And there is blood, an insane amount of blood - it is literally raining blood! :) As a big fan of the horror genre I really enjoyed Evil Dead, although the grand finale lacked for the last consequence. To avoid spoilers I cannot tell you more about the end.
If you think the trailer is too terrifying then do not watch the whole movie!!
