A Massive Letdown

Rating: 4/10 (27 April 2018)

Gosh, this film is bad and hugely disappointing on so many levels!
But then my hopes weren't high when I knew Universal Studios had got their horrible mitts on it and started dictating the script and production values, culminating in a utterly typical ending!
From being a truly horrifying, no-holds-barred blood and guts from the first two EV films, but polished with some brilliant dark humour and a perfectly campy role by Campbell, we end up this half-baked mix of fantasy & Arthurian legend, with little or no effective horror or gore to speak of.
The sfx are not great, but neither is the script as a whole; and it all looks seriously dated and incredibly un-engaging.
Campbell's charisma just about holds everything together, but the film as a whole really is a poor effort after waiting something like 5 years since the far superior Evil Dead 2 graced our screens.
