Review of Evil Dead Rise (2023) by Wearevenom87 — 26 May 2023

I hated this it's such bad generic horror garbage. The Evil Dead series has always been about campy fun with horror. This movie has none of that. No humour other than some mild jokes thrown in at the wrong time.

This movie has a few of the callbacks to the old Evil Dead movies, but they are few and far between other than the Necronomicon and the camera hurtling towards someone as they become possessed. This feels so soulless (and not in the possessed by a demon way) I've seen so many horror movies exactly like this and this is not what I want from the Evil Dead movies.

I will admit the mother in this movie did a good job and there were a few scenes that were kind of tense, but this is the worst of the Evil Dead series. If Sam Raimi just wants to make generic horror movies now then call them something else.
