Written and Directed by Lee Cronin.

Starring Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols, Nell Fisher, Mirabai Pease, Anne-Maree Thomas, Richard Crouchley and Noah Paul.

Plot: A family tries to survive a horrible demon problem.

Let’s start off with the fact that none of the Evil Dead movies would ever happen to my sister and me. They always involve people being super nosey and overly curious and pretty much always having no respect for the possibility of shit getting real. If people would just show some respect and restraint, a lot of trouble could be avoided. This entry in the series has some fool going into a hole created by an earthquake and taking a weird ass looking book and some records. Danny has some skills even though they don’t involve decision making and listens to and reverses the records, discovering priests talking about the book and it’s evil.

The evil, of course, comes for the family, possessing one of them to start all the madness. When the shit hits the fan, the family fights back; neighbors even try to help. A lot of weird and crazy things go on. And eventually they try to escape the building.

The movie drew me in with a great cast and some really interesting innovation. It is realistic enough and is well directed. The special effects are fantastic and we dig the jump scares. It is gross in parts but the end is satisfying and Nell Fisher who plays Kassie is so freaking cute, you could eat her up.

We both recommend this Evil Dead movie for your viewing pleasure. Tara gave it a 68 and I scored it a 78.

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
