So I watched this movie for the first time yesterday in theaters and I’m just going to bullet point here.
Positives
- Good pace
- strong practical effects
- feels like an Evil Dead movie
- actors are believable
Negatives
- lack of love in the family ( half the Horror in an Evil Dead movie is being forced to dismember people you care about and this movie doesn’t really have the emotional connection for that , in fact most of the family feels like they deserve the death)
- annoying soundtrack
Overall , I liked it but it feels like the weakest movie in the series . I want to emphasize that the movie feeling weak compared to the others in the series doesn’t make it bad , Evil Dead is my favorite horror franchise after all , it just means for now I can’t put it above any of the previous entries . When it comes out on DVD I’ll probably check it out again .
