I'd say she's the best Deadite probably since first two 'Evil Dead' movies. When she first got possessed, her movements and facial expressions were top notch. The main possessed mom actress stole the show. I'd rather they just did their own thing and not have any homages at all than get the homages I got. At least 2013 was subtle with their homages, whereas this movie was just blatant and forced, making the homages feel extremely out of place. I could feel the director writing all these homages with a big grin on his face like 'Oh yeah, Mr. 'Evil Dead Rise's' eyeball homage made me roll my eyes to the back of my skull, hoping I'd become possessed myself because it felt so forced. The homages in this movie felt so out of place, like they were forced into the movie. They also used one floor of the apartment for 90% of the movie, so it's not like they even changed the setting that much. Almost nothing but the setting (which they didn't even use well) was anything new for the franchise, so I'm not sure why they're trying to pass it off as some game-changing entry. The Necronomicon was discovered in the same way (albeit WAY dumber and less believable in this entry), the story beats were nothing new, a close knit group has to defend themselves from the Deadites, etc etc. Another thing I don't understand is if they're going to do something different with the franchise, why not go all the way? What I mean is that they changed the setting, and that's about it. Levy kicked ass and earned her right to be the final girl. We had Jane Levy as Mia in the 2013 remake swap roles with Ash by being the sole survivor of the Deadites, and I thought that worked pretty well. ![]() 99% of horror movies (especially today) have a final girl. The 'Evil Dead' franchise broke the mold by being one of the very few horror franchises to have a male be the hero/survivor. If I didnt know any better, I would've thought Disney had their hand in the writing material for this entry. Also, what is up with the characters? None of them are likable and they're all female, half of which are pronoun warriors. There was a decade between this and the 2013 remake, and tons of production time, so why was the script so bad? The way the Necronomicon was discovered in this movie was some of the most lazy, terrible writing I have seen in years. It makes no sense why they went so tame for this, especially since Terrifier 2 (which just released last year and made BANK at the boxoffice) was extremely BRUTAL and had insanely gory and violent scenes that showed off somewhat cheesey, but also very impactful practical effects (what 'Evil Dead' is supposed to be all about). For God sake, a woman gets assaulted by a tree within the first 20 minutes of the original! No boundaries are pushed with this entry. Why were they so afraid to show gore and intense violence in this one? 2013 (and the originals) went WAY harder than this. The tattoo gun scene you get a glimpse of in the trailer? Also a massive let down. ![]() ![]() The cheese grater scene that was hyped up so much (that I was looking most forward to), that they made a WHOLE POSTER FOR, turned out to be a MASSIVE let down. This movie was extremely tame, way too tame to have 'Evil Dead' in the title. We've seen what a modern 'Evil Dead' can look like with 2013's remake, which I thought was pretty good, definitely miles better than this. Actual blood, sweat and tears from the cast and crew poured onto the original, glorious-looking Necronomicon. ![]() Nothing but sheer will-power and creative ingenuity are what got the original movie made. The entire cast/crew put themselves through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows to get the original 'Evil Dead' made. I've watched the director commentary multiple times to see how they created a shoe-string budget indie masterpiece, which they explain through hilarious stories from the production/filming process. Over the years, 'The Evil Dead (1981)' has become one of my favorite movies of all time. It pains me terribly to say that this movie was not good. ![]()
