The red-drenched direction the film takes in the final act is one this reviewer embraced. There are enough fresh ideas to separate it from many failed horror clones and with the exception of some developments – a few provoked scoffing in my screening - I feel like there will be many Raimi-trilogy fans who will get a kick out of it. While the story takes on a different direction, the sequence of events remains quite faithful. There are familiar features that hark back to Raimi’s film – the cabin from the outside looks almost identical, there is a chained cellar, a tree that does some disturbing things, and an equipped tool shed. Natalie, when she discovers that the infection from her hand has begun to spread up her arm, takes measures that I can’t imagine David (The inferior stand-in for Campbell's Ash here) doing. This acceptable reasoning doesn't apply for long and logic hasn’t been given a facelift from Raimi’s film. Even though he begins to suspect he is directly involved, his attempts to help others are weak and he all-but gives up and surrenders to the horrors.Īs Mia is the first to be possessed, having simultaneously hit rock bottom in her stages of withdrawal, it is understandable that David and the others attribute her hallucinations and strange behaviour to this. It is the men who venture into the cellar and bring the Naturom Demonto upstairs and Eric, for no particular reason, reads the enchantments scrawled in the book, ignoring the evident warnings. Something that bothered me somewhat about Raimi's film was the way the female characters were targeted first and suffer the most. The interesting thing about this Evil Dead is that the female characters out-resource their moronic male companions. When they discover a book titled Naturom Demonto: The Book of the Dead, irresponsibly opened by Eric, releases a demonic presence from the surrounding woods.
