Disclaimer: I have not seen either the original Evil Dead or its sequel, so I can’t
comment on whether it stays faithful to the source material. If you enjoy horror movies, and gore in
particular, I recommend this film. While
some of the character’s actions reach Prometheus
levels in that they make entirely no sense given the circumstances, some of the
sequences were very frightening, thrilling, and funny. I don’t believe in the concept of hell but
the scariest element from the movie was the fact (eventually known to some
characters) that if they are killed by this demon they will spend eternity in
hell unless the demon is defeated. The
idea of being mortally wounded and knowing with near certainty that your soul
is about to belong to the Devil is probably the worst feeling I can
imagine.
