An addict’s brother and friend’s journey to a cabin deep in the woods to help her get clean, but when one of them finds and reads from a book made from sewn skin, they evoke a curse that could kill them all.
My Thoughts:
I wasn’t too impressed with this flick, so I’m just going to bullet point the thoughts…
· There was too much gore. I wasn’t scared so much as reacting with an empathetic pain response. I don’t mind gore… but this was splatterpunk to the extreme.
· The meeting of the requirement for the 5th soul was confusing. Who was it? Why didn’t burying his sister work? It didn’t hold together well enough for me to know what was going on.
· Serious brutalization of the girls. Why do the guys hold up better/longer? Why weren’t they as brutalized? I’m never impressed when a movie falls into this sort of a trope.
· What was with the Jerad Leto and Zoe Saldana rip-offs? I mean, I knew they weren’t those two actors, but it almost felt like they were trying to make you think that’s who they’d cast.
· Bruce Campbell cameo at the very end was amusing. But it only served to highlight the fact that the original movie(s) were undoubtedly better.
· Not, imo, appropriate for 8-year old little girls. One of the other 9 people in the theater with us could not have been over the age of 8, sitting with her (dad?).
