They've lost their charm
One of the funniest stuff with the evil dead movies was that it was humor mixed with horror in the brilliantly. This movie was just dark and boring and gory without any form of good story telling. It was way darker than the other ones though so perhaps if you enjoy demonic movies ...
I didn't laugh at any occasion and I didn't get scared but a bit disgusted and perhaps that was the meaning with it? A splatter movie of 2024 with a twist from the exorcist and nightmare on elm street combined.
However the writers thought of it, it kinda failed both in the story and the end, but there was a lot of blood here anyway if you enjoy that. - kamillion-111977 - 26 May 2024
Don't Understand the Hate!
I feel like this is suffering the original Halloween franchise curse, part 3 particularly.
Where it's only hated because it's completely misunderstood and not meant to really tie in any of the other films in the Evil Dead franchise.
Furthermore, the lead actress' performance is haunting and absolutely brilliant!
I believe that if this didn't have the Evil Dead name attached to the title, it wouldn't get as much hate as it has gotten and be an amazing standalone film all its own.
My only gripe is the opening sequence. While shoot beautifully and with great moody atmosphere, it doesn't really tie in with the rest of the film.
