Thinking that Ellie was attacked by an animal, Kyle takes the shotgun and goes off to kill it. The trees withdraw and Ellie tries to tell her that they attacked her, but the others think she is crazy and bring her back inside to calm her down. The others hear her screams and come outside to investigate. Suddenly, the vines of the trees surrounding the cabin come alive and attack Ellie, violently raping her. Kyle reads a passage aloud, unknowingly summoning a demon while doing so.Įllie leaves the cabin to use the adjacent outhouse, where she keeps thinking she hears voices. Kyle, who is an expert at languages, realises that the text is Sumerian and the book's title is the Narutom Demonto, which translates to the Book of the Dead. The gang nervously drive across it, fearful of it's possible collapse.Īt the cabin, they are greeted by a foul stench which leads them to the basement, where they find a number of tools, such as a chainsaw, as well as a double-barreled shotgun, and most notably, the source of the odour a dusty old book. The cabin sits on a piece of land cut off from the rest of the world by a creek which can only be crossed on a rickety old bridge. It is spring break, so they have decided to take a trip to a secluded cabin located on Crystal Lake. The film concerns six college students Ashlee 'Ash' Williams, her best friend Cassidy Morris, her brother Kyle Morris, his girlfriend Ellie Howe, her friend Sabrina Blair and her boyfriend Matt Hannigan. It was followed by a crossover between Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy vs. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence as Ashlee 'Ash' Williams, retconned as a female in this new continuity, and was directed by Breck Eisner. Sounds very ambitious, and I hope they pull it off.Evil Dead is a 2019 American horror film and a reboot of The Evil Dead film series. I'm also very intrigued to hear that Raimi is working on bringing Ash back to the screen in Army of Darkness 2, and then after the already announced sequel to this film has been done, crossing both stories over into one epic bloody nightmare. It had some nice homages to the original films, and good twists on expectations too.Īnd as for the possibility of any of it being forgettable one thing I won't be forgetting any time soon will be the image of the abomination being skull-fucked by Jane Levy's chainsaw, spewing out more blood than the Braindead finale in the process. I liked the different take on the story, and the effects were outstanding - the practical effects being a very welcome break from the CGI splatterfests we've had in recent years.

Not particularly scary, but then neither is the original to be fair, which itself chose to make it's mark with outlandishly gory effects sequences, instead of deep storytelling and sharp dialogue. I saw it on Saturday, and I thought it was excellent.
