What THR's critics say about the movies opening this week.
It's a weekend of horror.
The remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult film The Evil Dead comes alive with a fourth installment directed by Fede Alvarez. Evil Dead follows five friends who are holed up in a remote cabin and unintentionally awaken a dormant demon in the woods. The evil spirit possesses each person until only one is left to fight for survival. Cast members include Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore.
