Cerebral Horror!

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2013)

First of all, allow me to start off by saying that 99% of people who don't like this movie are fanatics of the original and leave no opportunity for this movie to work. Now- allow me to add that this movie was overseen by Raimi and Campbell, with both of them saying "This is the movie we wanted to make originally", but I believe it was the budget for why the original was so much different. There is **no** Ash. This is **not** a remake. Okay, let's get to a few of my points.
1. This movie doesn't make sense at times. First of all, the concept is basically "5 souls are needed to raise the abomination." You can't count the girl at the beginning, or else Eric would not have re-released the evil in the woods, it would have already been there. Now- Claiming that burying Mia alive would stop the evil, David did just that. She arises, seemingly healed. David walks back in the cabin to get the Jeep keys, where he is stabbed in the neck by Deadite Eric. IF he had stopped the Evil with Mia, Eric would not be a deadite. So that's not right?....
2. There are rumors afloat online that there was a recording alternate ending where Mia walks away, stops a 18-wheeler and it is revealed she is still a deadite. (I'm assuming this ending didn't include the fight between the abomination, seeing as how David would have been the 5th soul, and Mia being a deadite would have killed the abomination anyways? Doesn't make sense). Another rumor is that this story takes place in an alternate time, though similar events take place. Once again---There is NO Ash. This is NOT a remake.
**Conclusion**: My review is a 9 out of 10, because unless you are brain dead, this movie is amazing. I had not been so entertained by a horror movie in the last 10+ years. **Forget** the original, and imagine this movie is something different. Even the SAW movies couldn't touch the gore of this film. Ignore the fact that fans of the original cult classic hate it because it didn't live up to their expectations, didn't make sense at times- but let's not be ignorant and add "real life" laws into a movie that is 'obviously' not supposed to be real. A book containing incantations releasing evil that possesses a soul to consume it, to release a demon. Yes, let's add real world bias to your opinion. People do stupid things when in panic, and some people are reluctant to believe the worst, especially when you are faced with the task of *killing* your *Sister*. Some of us wouldn't jump at that opportunity- I for one would take every chance to save her. You will continue to guess what happens, and just like every horror movie (yes, somethings gonna happen when they turn around, or look in the mirror)- you'll be right. However, you will not guess what happens as a whole. Sit back and enjoy the ride. I definitely did.
