Didn't really feel like an Evil Dead movie at first, but grew on me, especially by the end.
Two early mildly woke sentences is all I noticed we could have done without.
Ended up being gory AF, which I liked a lot.

In all fairness no girl / woman would have crawled down that hole, so it had to be him. But the movie was female-heavy, so probably not recommended for TheImp.
Agree on it not going for the fun angle, which contributed to my feeling of it being disjointed from the previous movies and the series. It did feel more Evil Dead-like as time went by, for me, at least.
As for convenience, yes, it had quite a lot of them, but that did not bother me with a movie like this. Especially with the location, it needed to be a secluded one.
To each their own, I guess.
This isn't automatically a bad thing, The Descent was excellent. It isn't the AMOUNT it is the ridiculous played out stereotypes they used.
The 'alt' Mother with the 'alt' daughter and 'DJ' son despite them living in a shithole. The same boring cardboard cutout characters every modern film uses.
You should see "Drag me to Hell" to understand what I mean, that is also female heavy however they are likeable, well fleshed out characters. No paper thin stereotypes that are needed to hit all the 'checkmarks' of modern characters.
Secluded like....a cabin in the woods would be?
Well, it wasn't a bad thing in the past, these days it is at least a red flag I would say.
Yes, secluded like a cabin in the woods that is a location that has been used all the time previously. Trying for something different is not a bad idea, even if in this case it is a stretch.
