Directed by: Fede Alvarez
Starring: Jane Levy, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Shiloh Fernandez
Genres: Horror
Corrected entry: When Mia is first possessed she manages to walk around and shoot at her brother while drugged up on enough tranquillizer to 'put a horse to sleep', but at the end of the film it only takes one shot of the tranquillizer to knock her out for long enough for him to not only bury her, but give his teacher friend a fond farewell too.
Corrected entry: When David is burying Mia, she speaks with no impairment despite her tongue having been split lengthwise in a previous scene.
Plot hole: The book says the demon has to devour 5 souls in order for the abomination to return, but it only got 4 since David saved Mia's.
Suggested correction: In the extended version, we see Mia's soul isn't actually saved.
"In the extended version" has no relevance. Bonus content holds no weight when leveling criticism at the theatrical cut of a film.
Suggested correction: Actually, more than five souls were claimed over the course of the film, whether or not you count Mia. Four people died in the cabin, plus the possessed girl in the beginning of the film, in addition to the girl's mother, who is mentioned to have been killed by her. You could also make an argument that the dog counted, technically. You also gotta remember, the book said the souls must be "consumed," and technically, it did possess Mia and she "died" while still possessed before being revived. So by the vague definition of "consumed," she could still possibly count. Either way, definitely more than five souls were claimed over the course of the film.
Brother and friend were also technically cleansed by fire.
Eric: This thing is attached to Mia's soul like a leech. If we want to help Mia... We're gonna have to kill her.
Trivia: If you sit through the entire end credits there is a small additional scene showing Bruce Campbell turning towards the camera and saying his trademark phrase "Groovy" from Evil Dead II.

Correction: It was a huge dose of tranquilizer she was given at the end; the line about putting a horse to sleep was pure hyperbole. The fact that it was delivered in a single shot is irrelevant given the sheer size of the syringe's barrel.
