What do you want from this film?

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2018)

If you want the original Evil Dead, there are some connections to the older film here and some new additions.
The set feels nostalgic and remiscent.
The brutality is certainly here, lots of cringy gore.
No censorship, some sexually disturbing shots (a bit like the older one).
The story and characters are somewhat deviant, however. I thought that the script and the acting were weak at the start, but I think that Mia really got into her role once things picked up. The rest of performances were sub-par and the characters themselves were boring and had no depth/interrelationships that were notable.

BUT, as far as horror movies go, I still think this was a good movie. I watched it alone in the dark, so that may have added to the thrill a bit, but it certainly has the potential to keep you biting your nails and jumping off your seat every once in awhile. I think that the opening scene, by the way, was PHENOMENAL. So well done in my opinion, one of the best openers for a horror.
If you watch horrors with the same mindset that you have for all other films, I'd say it's a 5/10.
If you watch horrors with the mindset that you're going to be watching a horror (as I do), I'd give it a 7/10.
That being said, to name a few horror movies that I hold in high regard:
Conjuring films, The Thing (old one), The Mist, The Ritual, It Follows, The Others, The Village, The Witch.
