This movie was in my radar for a long time. It wasn't available in the library. Searched the market where they sell pirated ones for 50 rs. Was to no avail. Heard some very good reviews n how some compared it to the evil dead. Well as a fan of evil dead like most people, i was eager for this. Finally saw this. Thank you Steve for the movie. Coming to the movie, the acting was horrendous. There was minimal character development. The chicks were not that eye candy. The Swedish forests/woods weren't utilized. There was zero cinematography. What really bugged me was that this movie was not at all creepy or scary. There was no proper explanation given about the house or the "thing" inside the cellar. Read bah the "thing" on wiki. Scary n interesting. In one scene the zombie/possessed person is screaming so much that I felt sympathy for it. The characters were so lame n stupid, i mean all of em? The movie is full of scenes like "why would they do that" "common man". The director tried to make it look like an 80s film with the music n that grainy feel. One thing the movie can really boast about is the amount of impressive gore. It's gory. I mean much gory than the Evil dead remake. All in all a good effort. Check out Gallows hill. A better demon movie. Well this is a decent non scary horror flick with impressive gore but lacked originality.

A love letter to The Evil Dead, a respectful homage, an unofficial remake: call it what you like, but it doesn't alter the fact that Wither is a shameless rip-off of Sam Raimi's seminal splatter pic, from the basic plot, to the look of it's possessed, to the creative camera-work and editing. Not that it really matters, mind you, because this nifty supernatural horror from Swedish directors Sonny Laguna and Tommy Wiklund is so well executed that it's easy to forgive its wholesale plundering of a much loved classic; it's certainly got more going for it than the disappointing official 2013 Evil Dead remake.Wither takes a while to get going (perhaps a little too long, if I'm being completely honest), but is never boring, and once the horror starts, the film becomes a relentlessly gruelling and very gory thrill-ride, with decapitations, severed limbs and bloody impalements aplenty, weapons employed including a shotgun, an axe, a massive drill bit, and even an upturned stool. The overall tone is grittier than Raimi's movie, which makes matters a little less 'fun' perhaps, but fans of all things 'deadite' should still find much to appreciate about this impressive little homage/remake/love letter/rip-off.

I rate it 4 because it had some cool gore but I was very unhappy with what seemed to be excessive amounts of women getting punched in the face and barely anything happening to the men. I just felt weird and dirty after watching this. Basically it felt off balance and I can sit through (although not comfortably) movies like Last House on the Left because you KNOW the people who did all that are going to get whats coming to them. Again, the gore was well done but I don't care at all about the characters and it all felt like a heavily misogynistic grindhouse movie in the worst way. It was Evil Dead lite but somehow harder to watch. I know most users wont find a problem with what I did, but it really ruined what could have been an okay movie.

This plot you maybe thinking its sounds a lot like Evil dead and most of the movie did remind me a lot of evil dead. Two break away from the the group and end up going under house to sneak off, as then lady sees some kind of creatures, soon we see her owns eyes go back into her head. Everything seem fine at first, all having dinner, While that girl is feeling not well soon she takes a turns into a infected person. That when the movie gets going,it dose not take long at all and everyone trying to fight her off.Then man appears at door, hearing the noise. telling the story of how is wife and daughter were killed by the same creature, who ever looks into eyes of the creature, there sole wiill be taken. Soon it's spreads around the cabin, this movie as some very gory moments (Not over the top gory moments like Remake of Evil) Enough to please gore hounds and the creature did not look that bad , good make up effects, make them looks really creepy. Very enjoyable movie, if you didn't like the remake of Evil Dead, Check this one out. 7 out of 10
