I was disappointed. The Evil Dead movies always had simple stories, but this one feels like there is even less going on than usual. A family gets trapped in a building and deadites stalk them. Nothing really creative or memorable happens. I didn't even feel any tension, let alone actual fear. It really seems like the wrong person made this movie--I don't think they know what makes a good horror movie, and they definitely don't deserve to helm an Evil Dead movie. It's more like a low-level slasher sequel than an entry in one of horror's more consistent series. Also, the callbacks were lame. And as for the big finale? It was done better in the recent Color Out of Space. Very skippable.
