Evil Dead (2013)

This is a remake of the 1981 movie by Sam Raimi, who is famous for the Spider Man movies. It is a classic story of five young adults who go to a secluded wooden cabin with the intent of helping one of them go cold turkey on her drug addiction. They find a book of evil that unleashes a demon that possesses the girl and wacky wild shenanigans start to happen. The action and suspense are well paced, the music is eerie, and the special effects are top notch. You can't help but squint during the gruesome blood bath scenes. The ending is slightly different from the original but overall it is pretty true to it. Not as silly as the original but still very fun and entertaining.

The Canyons

This is a movie starring Lindsay Lohan and James Deen about some actors and movie producers. James Deen plays a villain who is super rich and has jealousy issues. He does a pretty good job of making you hate him. There is a lot of sex and drama going on. There is plenty of T & A in the movie, and you do see Lohan plenty naked. I imagine that this movie has elements that are present in her real life. The writing and acting is kind of lame, but you can't help but continue watching. The movie was written by Brett Easton Ellis who also wrote movies like American Psycho and The Rules of Attraction, both of which I really enjoyed. This one takes itself way too seriously and makes you hate everyone in Hollywood. The ending was awful.

Fresh Meat

This is a comedy/action/thriller/horror movie from New Zealand. It has actors I've never seen before, but the cast was great. The movie started out with a lesbian school girl shower scene to quickly set the style of in your face delivery of raunchy content. The plot involves some criminals freeing a murderer and they escape the police by hiding in the house of a seemingly quiet and normal family. The family turns out to be cannibals and hilarity ensues. The special effects were pretty good and the dialogue was pretty decent. There were some laugh out loud moments and the ending was pretty good, although super ridiculous. Reminded me of Tarantino in a way. I recommend it for a fun silly laugh.

I Spit On Your Grave 2

This movie was basically rape porn with revenge. It is pretty brutal and really horrific, and the actress really gave it her all. The terror of her situation is believable, and it is hard to watch many of the scenes. After about an hour into the movie, things start to turn around, and revenge begins to unfold. It is indeed sweet revenge.
