      "The Evil Dead", the film that in 1981, made heads turn, and helped the horror genre come to fruition.  In 2013, a remake of Sam Rami's cult classic, has made its way to theater's in a great way.  Five friends head to a cabin in the woods, where they come across a book of the dead.  Once the book was read, it has begun a chain reaction of different events starting with Dave's (Shiloh Fernandez) sister Mia (Jane Levy) causing these individuals to become possessed and kill one another until a single person is left.  

      The overall story of the film was well put together, as you do not want to stray to far away from the original film which brought glam to the horror genre.  The dark setting in the cabin, to fog over a small pond. and those possessed themselves give the audience a "this is gross" kind of feeling.  For a movie with not to many well known actors/actresses, they did a job on par with what I could have expected.

     My opinion of the film was it is a good remake compared to some of the other remakes that have been made over the last couple years.  The director stuck with the story, with a few minor changes to suit the needs of viewers in today's society.  If you are into a movie with nail guns, boiling water, and axes, with some demonic slurs, this is for you.  If you do not like gore and demonic themes I would stay away.  I would recommend this movie for any casual movie goer and hope you enjoy.

Bootleg Rating: B
