Bloody good remake

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2013)

This is a remake or reboot of the 1981 classic Bruce Campbell 'Evil Dead'. Sam Raimi was the original's director-here , he has a writing & producing credit . For those unfamiliar with the original , five young people are at a cabin in the woods and are attacked by a Demon that wants to possess them . Jane is a heroin addict that has been brought out to the woods to help kick her habit, a remote place to go cold turkey . Shiloh is her brother , Elizabeth is his girlfriend , Lou is an aspiring teacher and Jessica is a nurse-in-training . They come across the Book of the Dead-just the title alone should have warned them-and evil is soon unleashed. Of course , when Jane tells them that she is seeing things , they think she is just in the stages of withdrawal . I thought it was a good remake-enough familiar elements with some new ones thrown in , for good measure . FYI: If you stay until after the credits , you will be rewarded . It is rated "R" for violence-It is extremely graphic in the violence ; one person cuts off her own arm with a carving knife , so don't bring any kiddies to this one , sexual content and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 31 minutes . I enjoyed it and would buy it on Blu-Ray .
