Summary: 5 Stars
Two couples, all friends, decide to get away from everything by renting a remote cabin and situating themselves in the middle of nothing. Scotty, the alpha male of the group, decided on the cabin just because of cost and location, so the group heads up to rural Tennessee and begins to move in. right away things start to go awry, too, when they discover things about the former occupants that they just didn't need to know. for one thing, they had left a book that was bound in human flesh and inked in human bloood. For another, they had left a recording of what the book says. And when the audio book starts to play, something goes crawling through the woods and makes sure that the couples will be "dead by dawn."
I've seen many remakes of the original movvie, but I have to say that this 4 part series is one of the best out there. Not only does it give you the actors script but it also adds in some interesting elements that wer enot in the movie. One of those are the thoughts of Ash (Bruce campbell) as he is introduced to this demon-filled playpen of horrors, and another are certain angles that were not in the movie. Take, for example, some parts we see in the second book. When Scotty decides to bolt from the cain, we never see what happened to him. Here, we do. When Cheryll goes into the basement, we don't know what was down there with her. In this, we do. Over and over again we see things we knew were there but that we didn't know about when the chips were in play, and those things were scary little beasts with bites that answered questions. I appreciated that, too, because I like the little things that turn out to be big things when stories are being told. This, plus the style of the comic that turn it into a frightfest, are appreciated.
I figure this will be collected and, when it is, it will be lovely to behold. If they aren't, you should check these out by themselves because they are that good. Horror fan, Evil dead fan - anything you are should equal a buying fan. you won't regret it.
