“Like Fede Alvarez’s inexplicable 2013 Evil Dead, director Lee Cronin’s reboot-redux-whatever has no patience for the zany Bruce Campbell antics of Raimi’s original trilogy, playing the knowingly silly mythology boringly straight. This is one of the more baffling creative decisions in franchise-era filmmaking. It’s like remaking Airplane! as Zero Hour.” – North Shore Movies, 04/23/2023
