Yes. But also no? Loved this and exploring evil dead beyond the camp. But I love camp. I am torn. I mean there’s a pretty sick wood chipper scene that’s filled some silliness. But, I just….want a chainsaw slammed onto a chopped off hand nub that inexplicably continues to work. I’m going to be brave and say what I feel. Who are you to judge me? AND IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THE SHOTGUN IN THE FILM SAY S-MART ON IT COME ON.

"Evil Dead Rise," the latest entry in the iconic horror franchise, brings a new chapter of terror and mayhem.

Good movie. Better than I expected

I wasn't much of a fan of the original /Evil Dead/, so I didn't expect much.In a sense, this is a perfectly fine sequel: the evil reappears, people die, what more could you ask for? Lots of blood at some points too.Well, what I could ask for is more light so I could actually /see/ the special/makeup effects which are clearly there but not clearly seeable.All in all, I found this more annoying than entertaining.
