Never underestimate the importance of getting away from everything, even if just for a few days.

(I imagine that may seem a strange thing to say in a post that’s illustrated with the poster for the Evil Dead remake but the mistake in Evil Dead was not going to the cabin.  The mistake was reading the obviously demonic book.)
