Evil Dead Rise is a disgrace to the horror genre and a slap in the face to the fans of the original franchise. It is a mindless, soulless cash grab that relies on cheap jump scares, gore and CGI to appeal to the lowest common denominator of moviegoers. The acting is atrocious, the characters are bland and stupid, and the plot is nonsensical and full of holes. The movie has nothing to do with the Evil Dead mythology, and it insults the legacy of Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. It is a clear example of how Hollywood has lost its creativity and integrity, and how movies are just sold to the dumb masses who don't care about quality or originality. Evil Dead Rise is a waste of time and money, and it should be avoided at all costs.

This can't be a serious film. 2 directors, fundamentally conflicting approaches, and then i think they hired a consulting group that literally turned it into a parody once the accountants realized there were sub-zero on *any* potential return.

This literally was not a movie, but an exercise in what happens when mid-way through project they realized they messed up, really, really bad, and it was no longer about creating a movie, but how to limit the loss financially.

This includes the obvious reviews here -- whether these be real folks that were 'incentivized' to inflate the rating through a mechanism or another, or whether it be a hired group to purposefully inflate the rating, those with iq's above that of a rodent will see through it within the first 15 minutes.

1 star for 'potential of the idea', and another for having the audacity to put it into production, no stars for literally every other element of a film.

Wow. Just wow.
