Description: A twisted tale of two estranged sisters whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.

Just watched it and I enjoyed it. Just the right amount of gore, jump scares and exposition to keep things moving and interesting.

What do you think?

I think this one was great. The 2013 movie may have had more motional impact, the classic setting, and probably is overall a better movie, but this one feels like it embodies what "Evil Dead" is as a franchise much more. It would have been nice is the family was a bit more likable (the two older kids are these weird caricatures), but the lead and the younger kid are likable enough for me to root for them. I also think in terms of balancing comedy and horror, this is my sweet spot.

I've seen a couple people say this movie is boring. You don't have to like the movie, but I don't see how a movie where

spoilersomeone's scalp gets ripped off in the first 5 min of the movie could be boring.
