But as her withdrawal starts to hit, she wanders out into the woods where she’s “attacked” and seemingly possessed by an unnatural force. Mia (Jane Levy) is a recovering addict who needs the care and support of her friends. We meet five twenty-somethings as they’ve met at a cabin in the woods. Those familiar with the plot of the original will be right at home here, the only difference is that there’s no character named Ash as they wanted to preserve that bit of history. How does it compare to the original? Let us find out. Still, we’ve got a new generation of actors trying their darnedest to make a career and they’ve been dealt a winning hand with this film. And maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never found any of the Evil Dead films to be scary in the least. It helped launch the careers of both Sam Raimi (who wrote and directed it) as well as Bruce Campbell and both of these men served as producers on this re-make. Switching gears, looking back at the original Evil Dead, it pretty much epitomizes what a “cult classic” is. Or, and I just thought of this, maybe it’s always been this way and I’m now old enough where I can remember the original versions of films? I’m putting too much thought into this, I do think. Oh Hollywood, will you ever learn? Why, oh why must you re-make every single film that’s ever been a success? In truth, some are better than others and maybe I do get a bit of a kick out of saying “hmmm, that wasn’t like that in the original.” Still, it seems that this ever-increasing trend is either really taking off, it’s always been around or maybe I’ve just let it bother me.
