It's not an earth shatteringly different movie to ones you may have seen, meaning it's not going to "blow you away".But the new world that was created was dark and gloomy, and certainly fit the bill. Considering all of the Evil Deads were in a cabin in the woods, this felt like a tough ask to feature the entire film in an apartment block.Sufficiently different from the original Evil Dead that it felt fresh and wasn't boring.Nothing groundbreaking but Alyssa Campbell was fantastic (both when normal and, especially, when possessed Modern day special FX make Sam Raimi from the 1980s sad he was stuck with playdoh and experimental techniques.
It features a few massive gore moments that are memorable. I would say that generally, it didn't disappoint, but it certainly didn't smash it out of the park for me either. I had high hopes for this movie given it's current 8.1 rating on IMDb and 96% on rotten tomatoes (albeit with only 26 reviews), and especially because I actually really liked the 2013 remake (which was not the best received by fans and critics alike). I just saw the film in a preview screening in London which featured a Q&A from director Lee Cronin.
