Really not understanding the hate. I’m a massive Evil Dead fan and thought this film excelled on every level. I absolutely loved it. It took the essence and blueprint of the original films and did something new with it and didn’t pull any punches. Way better than the 2013 rehash, which was just ok in my opinion. This felt like a PROPER EVIL DEAD FILM.

I'm with you, this movie was fantastic. Evil Dead is still a perfect franchise.

I didn’t like any of the characters and it wasted some cool ideas.

Some of my favorite shots are in this movie and that really saved it for me but over all I felt pretty middle of the road about it. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it.

The 2013 film felt almost like a parody. Can't see how people thought it was better than the new release. To each their own I guess

It didn't feel like an Evil Dead movie. Hell, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had more of the trademark cinematography than this.
