  "description": "Evil Dead revels in the grotesque, the perverse and the horrifying. It is a zombie movie. But it's also a movie about demonic possession, opening the door to hell and the danger of reading strange books. Friendship is helping your friend detox. Friendship is decidedly not reading passages out of the grimoire you found with the dead cats in the cabin you're all staying in. Mia's detox symptoms mask the fact that she's been possessed by some sort of unknown evil. By the time the group figures out what's happening, Olivia's taking off part of her face with a shard from a broken mirror and then stabbing Eric relentlessly with a needle. Clearly something is off. Olivia ends up on the wrong end of a broken sink and Mia feigns normalcy long enough to infect Natalie. A bite to the hand later and Natalie's trying to excise it as though it's the world's gnarliest cyst. When that doesn't work, she resorts to an impromptu amputation with a kitchen appliance. Is it a meat saw? It looks like a meat saw. I've never used one and don't think I ever will, now. The cliff notes in the grimoire hint that the only way to solve all this is with additional amputations and fire. Which makes sense, right? What else could do it? The cabin ablaze, a miraculously resuscitated Mia loses a hand pinned under one of the remaining vehicles and, in a storm of blood, puts an end to the last zombie with an expertly applied chainsaw. She wanders out of the woods and collapses on the highway. A stranger rescues her and loads her into his truck. She rests fitfully, until her eyes open wide and things fade to black. Did they close the door to hell? Even if they did, the grimoire doesn't burn. Somewhere there's someone who'll someday go on a hike, stumble on the ashes of the cabin, find a book to read and wish they'd never bothered.",
