I watched Evil Dead Rise a few weeks ago, i thought the new setting worked well and there was good performances all round from the main group of actors. It is more of a straight horror than some of the original films with a few nice call backs.
I rated it 4/5 on letterboxed after watching it.
I certainly liked it a lot more than the remake a few years back.
