Evil Dead II (from 2013)

Evil Dead Rise was the next one to come out but it wasn't related to Evil Dead (2013) at all. I loved the 2013 version and would also like to see a sequel based on it. It would be kind of hard though since only one character survived and that actress is 36 now. She still looks really good though based on the pictures I could find. Maybe bring her back pregnant with a lesbian wife and a couple kids... the cabin camping atmosphere needs to return by having her follow through with her therapist suggesting it will help heal her trauma and overcome her irrational fear of of the woods.



I don't know, just spitballing... something like that and then:

Mia (from the original movie) and her wife, Sarah, have spent years building a peaceful life. After two children (a 13-year-old girl, Jade, and 8-year-old boy, Leo), they struggled to conceive a third. Sarah received a mysterious letter about acquiring a sperm sample through an elite, off-the-grid "holistic" donor bank. They require a small blood sample from Mia to perform a DNA carrier screening to find a match. Sarah, not wanting to get Mia's hopes up if no match is found, secretly acquires a sample from a discarded tampon.


In reality, the donor bank is a front for a cult that recovered the remains of the Necronomicon. The cult didn't just send Mia normal donor sperm; they performed a ritual to use her tainted blood (because of her 2013 resurrection) as the soil for a new Abomination. Sarah opens the package and surprises Mia with the good news. This leads to the couple hugging, kissing and having sex which the artificial insemination is incorporated into.

Minutes 0–3: The Portrait of a Life Rebuilt

The film opens with a high-energy, sun-drenched montage. We see Mia, now 36, laughing. She has a sleek, high-tech prosthetic hand that she uses with total confidence while gardening or ruffling Leo’s (8) hair.
  • We see the chaos of a happy home: Jade (13) rolled-eyes at her moms’ affection, messy breakfasts, and the palpable love between Mia and her wife Sarah.
  • The Contrast: For fans of the 2013 film, this feels "too good to be true." The camera lingers just a second too long on shadows or the sharp edge of a kitchen knife.
  • Happy home shots mixed with quick hard cuts showing glimpses of the letter, a tampon wrapper on a sink, a woman squeezing blood from a tampon into a specimen tube, a concrete building surrounded by an empty parking lot, an empty lobby with letters reading "AETHELGARD" on the wall, a bound leather book slightly out of focus laying on a glass pedestal, a row of gloved hands under surgical lighting in a large lab room, blood and other liquids drawn into syringes, needles piercing rubber tops of vials.



Minutes 3–7: The "Gift" and the Act

Sarah intercepts the FedEx-style package from Aethelgard Life Sciences. She opens it in private—the "Seed" is housed in a cold, metallic, almost futuristic canister.
  • That evening, the house is quiet. The kids are asleep. Sarah presents the news to Mia: "I found a way. A donor that matches us perfectly. A miracle."
  • The Tone: It is romantic and desperate. Mia, who thought her "tainted" past meant she shouldn't have more children, is overwhelmed with joy.
  • The Scene: The intimacy is filmed with the same handheld, visceral energy as the 2013 film’s action, but here it’s focused on passion. During their lovemaking, the artificial insemination is handled as a sacred, shared moment between them.
  • The "Mean" Hint: As the camera pans away from the couple naked holding each other in their bed, we see the discarded Aethelgard canister on the nightstand. The frost on the metal melts into a puddle that looks suspiciously like a black, weeping eye.

FADE TO BLACK.





Minute 7-10: FADE IN - The Clinical Reality


The warmth of the bedroom is replaced by a cold, gray, windowless office with Mia sitting in a chair directly in front of a desk. The sound of a clock ticking is the only noise.


Mia’s hand—the prosthetic—is gripped so tight on the armchair that the plastic creaks. Across from her, Dr. Aris leans forward, radiating a calm, expensive warmth. To the viewer, it is a quiet kind of horror—how utterly alive her warmth is, in a room designed to smother everything else.

DR. ARIS Mia, look at me. You’re eight months into a beautiful pregnancy. You have a wife who adores you. But you’re still living in 2013. You’re still in that cabin and forest.

MIA (Voice thin, shaky) I told you. I’m not 'in' it. It’s coming back. The dreams... the woods aren't just trees anymore. They’re... teeth.

DR. ARIS (A small, pitying smile) The woods are just timber and chlorophyll, Mia. What happened back then... we’ve discussed the 'toxic psychosis.' Your brain was starving for heroin. It took your withdrawal—the pain, the fear—and it projected a monster. A 'Deadite.' It’s a textbook manifestation of the addict’s self-loathing.

MIA I felt the chainsaw, Doctor. I smelled the rot.

DR. ARIS And you’ve carried that phantom smell for thirteen years. It’s time to extinguish it. I have a secondary practice—a wellness retreat. It’s an upscale cabin in the Umpqua Forest. Glass walls, cedar, totally modern. I had a massive wood deck built to wrap around the entire structure, and there's a beautiful swimming pool built right into the deck.

As Dr. Aris describes the retreat, a flicker of sun-drenched turquoise water and shimmering cedar deck-boards dances behind Mia’s eyes, only to be violently snuffed out by a visceral flashback from 13 years earlier of the harrowing moment she was "killed" to break her possession, her blue, lifeless face staring upward from beneath the suffocating surface of the stagnant swamp water.

DR. ARIS (CONT'D) Mia? You went somewhere else just now. When you're alone in your head, the woods win. But Sarah, Jade, and Leo—they are your anchors to reality. Bring them with you into that environment. Show your subconscious that you can be under a canopy of trees and be safe. If you keep running from 'the woods,' you are telling this baby that the world is a predatory place. Do you want your son to inherit your ghosts?

MIA (Looking down at her stomach) No.

DR. ARIS Then confront the geography of your fear. Use my cabin. It’s private, it’s secure, and it’s beautiful. No cell service, no distractions. Just you, your family, and the truth that there is nothing in the dark that wasn't brought there by your own mind.


The scene ends with Mia slowly nodding, a look of doomed resignation on her face.





FADE TO: EXT. THE HIGHWAY - DAY The family SUV, packed with suitcases and an empty baby seat, winding deep into a lush, suffocatingly green forest. The camera follows from a "Predator-style" POV through the trees, moving fast, low, and hungry.

Now, with that 10 minute intro, the "fun" at the cabin in the woods can begin. I'm liking this sequel so far. I'll have to continue letting Gemini help write it for me. I hope it doesn't freak out with content control censorship once I get to describing all the terrible ways this family will die and the gory details a proper horror movie needs.
 
If we're talking about real sequels released close to the original and not 30 years later, there's a few I'd like to have seen.

The Monster Squad
The Goonies
Cobra
Demolition Man
Masters of the Universe
The Shadow
Dick Tracy
Days of Thunder

I always wanted a sequel to Big Trouble in Little China with Jack Burton thrown into some mystical battle way outside his depth. Doesn't have to be Chinese themed.

Great pick. Add that one to my list.

It seemed like they had a direction with the Ash cameo at the end of the credits but then we got nothing except Evil Dead Rise which was it's own story and that was fine, but I really was hoping we'd get something with Mia, I really like that movie.
