By far the weakest of the "Evil Dead" franchise films to date. A lack of pacing, overlong pauses in action/horror, an anticlimactic ending and a pervading sense of "seen it all before but better", for me at least, defines this production. Acting is reasonable, as are special effects but its not enough to really make this film an engaging experience. In my opinion, a lack of direction in the script, in particular, notably sluggish pacing and the absence of innovation, result in an unremarkable action/horror experience. 5/10 from me.

I was in one of the test groups who watched this movie 6 months before the release and they actually implemented a bunch of suggestions I have and it ended pretty good! All evil dead movies are similar so I will just say in my review it follows the style of the last movies but with a better back story for the characters (it's independent from all other movies so in theory you could watch it even if you never heard of evil dead). The best movie from the remake trilogy
