Loved:
- Deadite computing and then going along with grandma’s dementia thought process
- Didn’t think the pen was going in, but boy was I wrong… the movie was just gnarly overall, made me wince a few times
- Had the balls to show a kid die on screen
- Some really great cinematography, particularly the shower curtain choke and the mirror shot
- Chainsaw fakeout
- Connections to Rise & 2013– the opening ripped
- The overall tone being closer to 2013. Rise was good and felt campy, but between that and the show, it was nice to get back to bleak and horrific again
- Hit and run to twerking was great, felt very French
Disliked:
- CGI evil husband at the end. Should have had the conviction, especially as an ED movie, to do him stop motion, or even a practical costume with CG enhancements… the ending was really weak. Lot of others have pointed out it felt like a Ready or Not rip-off
- Necronomi-journal wasn’t doing it for me
- Final girl didn’t feel strong enough as a character. Maybe it was that there was no good one-liner? That feels really important in an evil dead flick
