I also just went to see this movie last night and I thought the previous film, Evil Dead Rise, was better. I thought all of the characters in this one were unlikable and I was rooting for the deadites to win.
At this point, 3 “serious” movies in, I’m really starting to miss the campy fun of the original movies. They need a doofus protagonist that actually takes the fight to the deadites and somehow survives each movie.
That all being said, I feel the setting for this movie will be a very easy translation for a haunted house. It has a lot of potential for a walkthrough attraction like what HHN can do.
