Look, to be honest, I was expecting some crazy delirium horror movie, like the original. That doesn't mean I was not accepting something new. In this case, the "new" was kinda boring.

The contemporaneity sounds unnecessary. This feels like an ordinary horror movie with Evil Dead elements - and they're not enough to save it. There are a lot of predictable jumpscares and the evil behind all of it feels artificial. With some repertoire, you wouldn't find this scary anyway, but at least some uncanny valley could make it crazy enough to be really uncomfortable. The idea of being trapped in the building could work, but the environment was not scary enough.

Another factor that made me quit this movie was the total neglect of character development. I'm not asking for an Oscar drama. Just give me something to be afraid of with the characters I'm seeing. Please. The gore was good, but as I mentioned, without connection with the characters or trama, gore feels impersonal.

Anyway, that was disappointing.… Expand

This film is not scary, full of stupid dialogues, the actions of the characters are far from simple logic and there is no one in it, who would like to empathize. Total disappointment and waste of time.… Expand

I believe they replaced the son with a trans kid, I don't believe kids should b able to concent to destroying their bodies and definitely don't want to see it being pushed as a gd thing. Deadites were uninspired and lazy recycling scenes from other movies. They must of done the slow back turn 3 times from poltergeist. It's like a evil dead copy of demons 2 which unfortunately does the premise better then rises.… Expand

The only good character is the mom (fantastic actress) everyone else was either unlikable or just plain forgettable (little girl was cool). Movie felt it held a lot of punches with bad pacing and even though the mom looks AMAZING as a deadite it didn't feel scary or super "horror". To put it simply this Evil Dead movie is a Walmart/Disney version of the once amazing Evil Dead. Very very disappointed.… Expand

I found the characters all extremely unlikable. Obviously it’s a horror movie and can’t be taken completely serious, but there were many nonsensical plot turns and bits of dialogue that just made it all the more unwatchable. Very much felt like the “direct to HBO Max” title it was original intended to be.… Expand

The Evil Dead series has always been about campy fun with horror. This movie has none of that. No humour other than some mild jokes thrown in at the wrong time.This movie has a few of the callbacks to the old Evil Dead movies, but they are few and far between other than the Necronomicon and the camera hurtling towards someone as they become possessed. This feels so soulless (and not in the possessed by a demon way) I've seen so many horror movies exactly like this and this is not what I want from the Evil Dead movies. I will admit the mother in this movie did a good job and there were a few scenes that were kind of tense, but this is the worst of the Evil Dead series. If Sam Raimi just wants to make generic horror movies now then call them something else.This movie should have been called Evil Dead: The No Fun Allowed Edition!… Expand

Don't believe the hype. Evil Dead Rise is not scary. The gore is mostly CG and not even close to as nasty as the first two or the remake.

The gore is mostly CG and not even close to as nasty as the first two or the remake. The movie itself is totally generic with pointless and out of place callbacks that would do JJ Abrams proud. The director doesn't have the flare of Fede Alvarez, much less Sam Raimi. More like McG or Brett Ratner. I have been to Army of Darkness opening night and the Evil Dead remake opening night. Both were sold out and the audience was crazy. Cheering, clapping, screaming, laughing. The audience at Evil Dead Rise? Completely silent from beginning to end. Sold out theater not a sound besides some coughing and COVID spreading. Not even a single solitary clap at the end.

The critics were bought off or they just don't understand Evil Dead anymore than they understood Star Wars when they gave The Last Jedi the highest rating any Star Wars ever received and heaped praise on Force Awakens. Evil Dead Rise is a total waste of time and money. The first Evil Dead movie that I didn't like at all. It wasn't even good enough for the made for streaming category it was originally created as and should have never gone theatrical. Blow!… Expand

Unlike previous Evil Dead movies, where you are scared to your wits in the first 15 mins itself — this one takes it own sweet time with overdone filler family drama, cheap false scares and elaborate melodramatic possession that takes more than ages.

Some people actually walked out of the theater during interval, even my friends insisted we do the same. The second half of the movie was very cheesy and boring. cinematography was good, there were some good scenes that lasted 2-4 minutes— but that's about it. Very disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only good thing about this movie is the gore, its similar to TWD.
the bad:
Jump scares predictable, many already used movie tropes like woodchipper (DP2), eye torn out of face (TWD), creepy smiles (IT), Crawling on the roof (Exorcist), person stabbed but keeps going (Scream), Car gets stuck (literally every Jump scare movie), Crawling around the car (JP1). Also it sets up things that it doesn't use, like it gets a long shot of a vault, why is the vault there? Why do we forget it exists after its scene? What about Room 27 or 28 was it? That's how forgettable it is because it wasn't used, why have it in if you arent going to use it? if you load a gun you sure as hell should use it. instead the characters fluff around for half an hour trying to open it only to hop in the elevator? that we know is dangerous. What idiot would hop into a destroyed elevator if they've been told/seen its dangerous? Maybe room 28 could have been something worse but nope, ElEvaTor I gO IN nOw CoS DAh? If I wanted a comedy I'd watch this again, cos its similar to every other "scary movie" that tries to hard. I've been scammed, and I'm dissapointed that all the tension that could have been. Immediately released. No build up, No tension, just boom scary thing here, and that should do! honestly is this what horror has become?… Expand

What a bad movie, I don't recommend it at all, I thought it was rubbish, the one from 2013 was already bad, but this one from 2022 surpassed it, the worst movie I've ever seen.

I was really looking forward to this film and it didn't even live up to the 2013 film that didn't really capture the feel of Evil Dead anyway and then this film can't even be classed as anywhere near the same level as Original 3 Evil Dead films. As an Evil Dead Film awful doesn't have the feel the scares or the quality of Evil Dead and as a horror film it's like a film you'd show to someone who had an interest in starting to watch horror films for the first time but didn't want a scary or creepy one so you just show them a badly written film you laugh at but they would think is scary so not good. I had high hopes and got extremely let down and it was I admit better on rewatch but still the things i have written are still apparent to me when watching.… Expand
