Turning Conceptual Horror on its head

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2012)

I have seen this twice now and could watch this over and over again. The aim of this film was to take the elements of the conceptual horror and turn it on its head and succeeds in everything it sets out to do. you can easily feel the director/Writer Drew Goddard was inspired hugely by late 70's early 80's Horror, with the setting parallels with The Evil Dead are easily drawn. the twist within this film is that all the elements from the Undead to Conscious altering Mist is man made controlled in almost some kind of snuff "setting". the fresh concept of sacrificing 5 youthful characters to appease the gods was something I never expected. so in summary I would recommend this for fans of The Evil dead especially. but this is a treat for any horror fan
