There's no hero here, there's no story here, there's no scares here, there's empty nonsense and a few jump scares. This is just as bad as the last Evil Dead film. WHY? Why did they make this? Why did they make the last one? Just so you could put Henrietta on a pizza box? All the people in this film are victims. There's no brains, there's barely any evil. You can't take the most iconic comedy horror film and barely use the main premise, a couple of similar weapons (barely used) and think that this will make a GREAT FILM. IT DOESN'T. There's nothing hard core here. It's not fun, it's not scary, it's SO forgettable I can't wait to forget it. It's not a modern twist, it's dumb. Every character in this film just stands there as stuff happens. There's no real fights, there's no attempt to be smart about a solution. I'd have rather not had a film then have this film. I can't believe Sam Raimi and Bruce put their names anywhere on this film. When you make a film, especially a horror film, THE EXCITEMENT IS SUPPOSED TO GROW. I got so bored with this film that I watched another film in between pauses. There's no charm here. The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness should never be mentioned in the same paragraph as this hacky, symbol stealing schlock. I'd say don't waste your time but I know you want to see for yourself. I did. What a waste of time. I don't ever want to see any of these actors again, in anything.
