I never liked the original and haven't seen other Evil Dead films until this one.
8/10 for some of the individual gore scenes - makes your skin crawl. Top-notch effects. But the sheer amount of blood and vomiting get to be a bit too much.
And it's hard to maintain the momentum with nonstop stabbing, strangling, shooting, burning, etc for an hour and a half. After a while I was ready for a dramatic change in the storyline, or the conclusion.
6.5/10
One other thing: There are some continuity issues with the appearance of several of the main actors, who were kids, (no doubt due to the production delays from COVID). You see them age more than a year over the course of the film, except that the amount of aging isn't what would occur over the course of just 24 hours in real life, and the age shifts weren't chronological (the kids start out young, get a little older, then shift back to young at a few points).
