Evil Dead 2013

Evil Dead is a 2013 American horror film co-written and directed by Fede Alvarez. It is the fourth Evil Dead movie made. This is the first not directed by Sam Raimi. 

The story begins with a young girl being captured in the woods by a group of rednecks. She awakens tied to a post in the basement, with an old woman reading from an ancient book, saying her soul must be saved. The girl's father, Harold, is about to light her on fire, and she instantly begs for him to save her, but then she reveals that she is possessed. As her skin turns pail and her eyes turn yellow. Her father then shoots her in the head, and she is then buried.

Sometime later, a group of friends is meeting in an old cabin deep in the woods. Mia begins to detox from her drug addiction with the support of all her friends, Eric, Olivia, her brother David, and his girlfriend Natalie. David is Mia's surprise since their relationship became strained since their mother's passing. David fears that he may suffer the same mental illness as his mother.

After Mia's breakdown and after David discovering the secrets that lye below the cabin in the basement, Mis tries to warn them of the evil that has began in the cabin and tries to leave, only for her friends to think that she's leaving to find more drugs. Mia then becomes possessed and kills their dog not knowing what she's doing. She then burns her face and body in a hot shower that leave 3rd degree burns all over her body. David attempts to drive her to a hospital, but only to find out that the roads are flooded from the rain. Back at the cabin, a possessed Mia warns the group they will not survive the night and then faints. Olivia gives her a strong sedative, but Mia approaches the group in the living room and shoots her brother in the arm with a double-barrelled shotgun; then she collapses. Olivia approaches Mia to retrieve the gun, but Mia attacks her, vomiting red, blood-like liquid on Olivia's face. In the struggle, Mia falls into the cellar and the group locks her in. As Olivia attempts to retrieve more sedatives, she becomes possessed. Directed by a force documented in the book, Olivia cuts the skin off the lower half of her face with a piece of glass. When Eric tries to stop her, she attempts to stab him to death with a knife and syringe but is stopped when he breaks off a piece of the sink and smashes her head.

Then the horror begins, everyone begins to die one by one. With only one to be left alive at the end.. Mia is the soul survivor. David saves his sister by burying her alive while she is possessed and then digs the body back up. The uses electric shock to bring her back to her normal self. David dies to protect his sister. She lives with only one hand missing from her body.

This movie in my eyes was the best movie of the year and an amazing remake. Even though the story has been changed up, the story the cabin holds and the secrets the ancient book holds is what makes this movie so great. Non stop horror from beginning to end and all the blood and gore you could ever imagine. I was very skeptic when I first saw the preview, but this movie has proven my thoughts wrong. This is a must see remake. You'll need someone to hold on to through the whole movie.
