"Pretty Good Horror Remake!"

Rating: 6/10 (11 April 2013)

This 2013 horror remake to Sam Raimi's 1981 low-budget classic stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore. This tells the story of teen girl, Mia (Levy) and her brother, David (Fernandez) who go to an old cabin in the woods with their friends, Eric (Pucci), Olivia (Lucas) and Natalie (Blackmore) to help Mia overcome her recent drug addiction. It becomes a losing battle when a demonic spirit is unleashed after they find an ancient book that tries to take over their souls. I think this is a pretty good remake that not only has a lot of gory & creepy moments, but nice little nods to the original and it's sequels plus it's produced by Raimi, The original's producer, Rob Tapert and star, Bruce Campbell. I recommend this.
