I watched Ash vs Evil Dead in one go. That was a mistake.

First series was excellent but it all became a bit samey. Definitely would have worked better watching each series months apart.

It seems that director Steve Villeneuve's long-in-development Evil Dead fan documentary Hail to the Deadites - with interviews from horror personas, key cast and creators of the long-running horror franchise - will be getting an official release from Shout! Studios on digital and On Demand July 27th!

Here's the official synopsis:

Inspired by the 1981 classic’s cult following, Hail to the Deadites is an endearing documentary about the fans of the Evil Dead franchise, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2021...the documentary features interviews with Evil Dead franchise cast members including Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard Demanincor, Tom Sullivan, Dan Hicks, Kassie Wesley Depaiva, Sarah Berry, Rick Domeier & Bill Moseley.

Through interviews with the cast, crew, collectors, and fans, Hail to the Deadites seeks to illuminate the furthest reaches of the Evil Dead franchise’s undying and still-growing popularity, a popularity that has spawned four films, a TV series, comic books, figurines, and surpassed even its creator’s wildest dreams.

Not sure on the date, but it can't be the original run because the film carried an 'X' certificate, so it must be sometime after 1982

For a modern horror it looks like a watchable jumble of decent moments from recent films.

For an evil dead film it looks like a film made by some guy that watched them all in one weekend while ****ed up and didn't really get the vibe...
