Movie No. 180 (2013): EVIL DEAD
Evil Dead (2013)
Director: Fede Alvarez
Cast: Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas
A group of friends chanced upon the 'chained' Book of the Dead while on vacation in an old cabin in the midst of a forest. They unchain it, unknowingly unleashing the demons that will possess and dispose them to gory death one by one leaving and just one fighting for survival. That's what basically the movie is about. If it sounds familiar, it's because it's a remake of the much better and 'funnier' 1981 original. And this kind of plot has been rehashed so many times in different form.

The film is practically a "gorefest" and "borefest" at the same time. It didn't frighten the hell out of me. I got irritated instead, and that's the horrifying part.
