Overview

Mia, a drug addict, is determined to kick the habit. To that end, she asks her brother, David, his girlfriend, Natalie and their friends Olivia and Eric to accompany her to their family's remote forest cabin to help her through withdrawal. Eric finds a mysterious Book of the Dead at the cabin and reads aloud from it, awakening an ancient demon. All hell breaks loose when the malevolent entity possesses Mia. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Evil Dead is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by Fede Alvarez, a reimagining of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult classic. Rather than a group of friends partying at a remote cabin, the remake follows five young people who gather at a forest cabin to help their friend Mia, played by Jane Levy, quit heroin cold turkey — a premise that provides a clever narrative reason for the group to ignore Mia's increasingly desperate pleas to leave, interpreting her terror as withdrawal symptoms. When one of the group discovers and reads from the Naturom Demonto (the Book of the Dead), a demonic force possesses Mia and begins systematically destroying the others in spectacularly gory fashion.

Fede Alvarez committed to practical effects wherever possible, creating some of the most graphically violent sequences in mainstream horror — the film reportedly used 70,000 gallons of fake blood. Jane Levy's performance as the possessed Mia was ferociously physical. Evil Dead earned $97 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.
