If you can stand the HUGE amount of gore, pretty good movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2013)

I have not seen the first Evil Dead. So I am basing this review entirely on my thoughts of only this movie. First, if you are squeamish at all about blood and gore, this movie is most definitely NOT for you. If you aren't bothered by it, than this movie is actually pretty good. There are some obvious parts where, like in any other horror movie, you are sitting there saying, "please, no halfway intelligent person would do this". The thing I liked best about this movie was the demon which possesses Mia. Very scary looking, especially all the scenes in the cellar and when it was peaking out of the cellar. I reminded of Linda Blair in Exorcist. The big question I had was, in the book Eric found, it said the demon had to get 5 souls and then it would be released from hell. I don't think it ever got the 5 souls. As you see in the movie, there is one part where one of the characters dies, but it isn't by the demons hand. So his soul wouldn't have been taken by the demon. Then, the soul of Mia, although originally possessed, gets returned to her by the actions of David, so again, no soul there either. Ahh, but no horror movie is without goofs! I still liked it and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a good, VERY Gory, horror movie.
