Remake, Tribute or Plagiarism of 'Evil Dead'?
On her birthday, Dora (Audrey Lowe) and her friends Hope (Kirstin Leigh) and Rudy (Brady Fischer) travel with her boyfriend Stanley (Patrick Lawlor) to the cabin of his uncle, a man who studied superstitions and other supernatural matters, in the woods to spend a couple of days together. Rudy finds a weird box in the basement, and brings it to the living room. Dora opens it and an evil force is released. Rudy is possessed by the unleashed devil, threatening his friends along a night of horror.
I do not know whether this Vince Di Meglio wants to remake or to pay a tribute to Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead', but I did not see the name of this great director in the credits. Therefore, I believe that 'Deadfall' is indeed a plagiarism of that masterpiece of horror. Anyway, there are good effects and in the end, this is a watchable movie. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): A Força Sinistra' ('The Sinister Force')
Note: On 08 December 2021, I saw this film again.
