Evil Dead Rise

[hotsake]

After the cheap-looking opening and the introduction to the lame-ass family, I almost turned it off but decided to keep going to give it a fair chance. Halfway through the movie and it finally starts to get interesting but it doesn't feel like an Evil Dead movie at all, not like the originals or the remake, it just feels more generic and Blumhouse than anything else. I think having kids involved in this was a bad idea and whenever the film did a call back to the original movie it fell flat. If this was a standalone story and not under the Evil Dead brand I most likely would've liked it a bit more. As it was I was left feeling disappointed. But hey now I might have a deeper appreciation for the 2013 remake.
