My friend, a writer names Lonyenk RAP made an announcement on social
media that we’ve used to watched this movie if we call ourselves a
horror-maniac. Somehow, I knew this film is a repackage from the one before in
1981’s era…and sure is still creepy to the last bones…creepy and made me sick
!!!
Begin with a girl who’d been chased by some weirdo in the woods, and caught
up at the end. Strange companion drag her to a dungeon where she killed there.
The girl is possessed by some demon; therefore she burned to death in a cold
blood and shot in the head by her father.
The place which used to assassinate the girl is the same place where five friends stay together that night. They are David, Natalie, Olivia “the nurse”, Eric, and Mia. Natalie and Eric come to that place because they want to help David to cure her sister, Mia. Mia is a junkie…a drug user relapse…so Olivia decided she had to succeed this one and willing to do anything to make Mia back to shape…

There’s many hint that show how this film try to lead us to the
original film before. When David met Mia on the first scene, Mia is sitting on
a 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88, the same car that used in the first two Evil Dead
films. Mia also wears a Michigan State sweatshirt that also wears by the main
character in the opening scene of the original.
Situation turns upside-down when Eric found some old book in the
basement. When he studies the books, he didn’t realize that he released evil. The
creature possessing Mia, after that sorrow and the killing starts.
Showing the stories, as a horror film used to be, Evil Dead lead us to watch how the creature killed the fourth one by one. But what Eric do, made him understand how to destroy the thing. Eric tells David that if he want to ends all the terror, he should killed the demon-possessed Mia by three ways, burn her with fire, buried her alive, or mutilate to rest her soul.

This film are full of violent, the combination of horror and slasher,
which not afraid to show people that sometimes they have to cut their body if
necessary, especially when your life is threatened. Two times I’d seen a person
who’s able to cut their own arms in order to release the pain… the first done
by Natalie, the second one by Mia. And it also filled by sexual material, where
the slither root slipped between Mia’s crotches to made the spirit take over
Mia’s body.
Not to mention, the nauseating kiss, performed by Mia and Natalie in the basement or by Mia and Olivia that ends up with a vomit on the face. But I’m enjoying the film, despite the fact that no scenes are special or worth to remember…

No..no..sorry…I think one of the scene that I remember is when blood
rain happened. Well, it really a mesh and I think there must be a lot of tons
gallons of blood they had to prepare…and when I’m thinking about it a fad,
there’s a symbol appears by the name of the characters…if you’re realize that…
David, Eric, Mia, Olivia, and Natalie…take all the front letters of the name
and you’ll get DEMON. Awesome thought…
Still, there’s some mistake about this film. You can see on
the scene after David refuse to take Mia back to town, she tear up the necklace
that he gave…but suddenly the necklace
come back to her, almost in the end scene, on a full scale.
One other thing, when the five friends found the door under the floor and revealed the carpet to look into it, it’s supposed to be flat. But when they’re start to nailing down chain, suddenly loops and i-hooks appear out from nowhere.
You also can found the false continuity from Mia on the last scene, after she dealt with the last demon she walks to the distance with a wrong limping leg. It should be her right, not left, because her right leg is the one that cut out by a knife when she’s hiding on the narrow space of the shed.
