maybe i'm nothing but a grump but this just feels like another entry in the Fucked Up Practical Gore Arms Race that defined the evil dead remake and basically every single post-2010s horror movie with an inferiority complex about the pg-13-ification of the genre. i dunno man i'm just not convinced. this doesn't look new at all and i'm BEGGING modern cinematographers to please ask anyone in grip/electric to put even a single fucking light on set
@sarahzedig didn't they try a new trail for evil dead once already and it sucked. wouldn't a more accurate review be "it is different enough from the old thing to feel mildly new while containing all the elements of the old thing that you expect and demand"
because the thing is that if it's really such a great movie (maybe it is idk the trailer sucks) then it will have precisely one effect: there will be more evil dead movies, and more movies trying to be like evil dead
