An Undisputed Horror Classic

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2001)

Five chums vacate to an old abandoned cottage, only to wind up inadvertently summoning some nasty demon spirits who have a tendency to possess the lads. Mind-blowing special effects and stunning cinematography highlight this cult classic, especially considering its meager $50k budget. Writer/director Sam Raimi really shows off his talent here, effectively combining gut-wrenching terror with stomach-churning gore to create a certain feeling of uneasiness in the viewer. And even though the actors tend to overdo it a bit (a quality which actually adds to the creepiness of the demons, but detracts from the movie as a whole) and some sequences are just a bit drawn out, anyone who appreciates a good scare will no doubt dig this film.
