Gory as hell

Rating: 5/10 (20 October 2019)

I was unsure about this sequel/remake as soon as I heard of its more serious tone. The reason Evil Dead 2 is one of my favorite 80s movies is bc of its campiness and comedy. But this movie delivered a worthy addition to the franchise. The gore is nasty and completely uncensored, and I can safely say this is one of the most gory movies I've ever seen. This movie also feels very slickly produced. I didn't care about the characters, but I don't think that's really the point. The plot is also surprisingly smart, as a character is a recovering heroine addict and her seeing the Evil is excused as hallucination. Solid remake.
