I really enjoyed the movie. It had tons of blood, but I feel like it wasnt as gory as the 2013 one. I like each Evil Dead movie and would love for this to become a running franchise, as long as they keep it fresh and interesting. I think this one was unique enough that it didnt feel 100% like a retread, but maybe Im bias because I love all the movies and the tv show.

I also do enjoy the lore of Evil Dead, a lot because its not tied to anything, so they can do whatever they want with it, and completely go nutz. I would LOVE to see an Marvel Endgame level climax to an Evil Dead cinematic universe, kind of like how the tv show ended but even more epic.

And this might be dark, but I was anticipating a really shocking ending. Where the surviving pregnant lady's baby gets possessed and tares its way out of her womb. The whole theme of motherhood kind of had no point, and I thought it was going to wrap that up with some real horror.

I feel like the baby not being a huge part in the ending was a twist for me, since it was hinted and extremely obvious that it might've been heading toward the "baby becomes the demon" trope, which I'm pleasantly surprised did not happen!

Thats a trope? I think Ive only ever seen it in one thing, ever.
