Take me back to a time when scary movies had a real plot, when they used to be original ideas with bone-chilling sequences. Like “Friday the 13th,” where Jason, the masked murderer, could keep you on edge for 12 movies straight, or “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in which Freddy Krueger stole countless hours of sleep from the witless. Trust me, you didn’t want him in your dreams. But alas, scary movies have turned into how many curse words and graphic massacres one can fit into a single scene. As I breathe a deep sigh, “Evil Dead” sweeps the nation with the same old story.

Here we are again, a girl gets possessed by the devil, or a demon, or a demented creature from the Lollipop Guild. She attempts to kill all of her friends, which in turn would release the demon upon the world. A catastrophic plot craved by lovers of the horror film world; I, on the other hand, do not enjoy watching the same thing over and over again. I’ve seen “The Possession” and “The Last Exorcism,” and truth be told, that was good enough for me.

Now the film wasn’t all too terrible; it featured one of my favorite actresses, Jane Levy from “Surburgatory,” as one of the main characters. She had her hands full as she started out as a drug addict, then became possessed by a demon, and eventually became the heroine.

I think my biggest upset, that really made me dislike this movie, is that I was able to sleep through the night with no problems. Of course I had my hands to protect me from some of the gorier scenes, which is funny because half of the characters lose their hand, arm, or some other ligament, but when released back into reality the excitement died down quite quickly.

So is the film scary? Yeah, but we all have a pair of hands. Is it worth the money? Well I could probably find “The Possession” on Netflix and be satisfied.
