I've never watched any "Evil Dead" beyond the "Army of Darkness", but there is so much related content out there now that I can imagine a month of "Evil Dead" someday when all of it drops on Netflix.

You have to at least watch Ash vs. Evil Dead! Awesome stuff

Yeah, absolutely.

It has started filming.

Interesting if true. Linked to Ash vs. Evil Dead.

If this is another “EvilDead” in name only film then I think it would be best to just put the franchise to rest. The last two movies took themselves way too seriously thus not an Evil Dead film in my humble opinion!

If the "ghostbeaters" from Ash vs. Evil Dead show up in this then it'll absolutely be an Evil Dead movie.

So yeah, there was no real connections to anything else and it has pretty much flopped.

A couple of years ago Evil Dead Rise did 67 domestic and 147 worldwide on a 15 million budget and this sucker did 24 domestic and 51 worldwide on a 20 million budget.

They have already completed shooting Evil Dead Wrath (a prequel to the original Evil Dead, for some reason) so that's coming out, but after that this franchise is taking a dirt nap for sure. I didn't really ever fathom how this could be a franchise without Bruce Campbell's Ash, but then they built up his supporting cast in Ash vs. Evil Dead (Pablo, Kelly, Ash's daughter Brandy) and there seemed to be options with those folks. Then they didn't even bother with that and it's just random deadite encounters... randomly. BORING!

Saw it on HBO Max. Actually a tight little film. A French woman marries into this family and her husband threw boiling water on her once and that's basically the whole movie. Its links to Evil Dead are pretty tenuous.

It is set to be released in April 2028. Not sure why they need that much time.

All in all, they did such a bad job in keeping this franchise alive after Army of the darkness. I mean, the tv series was good and the 2013 reboot is ok, but the other two movies you can hardly tell they are actually part of the same franchise.

Army of Darkness came out in like 1993 and then the franchise was dead for 20 years till the reboot in 2013 and then the TV series around 2015. So I don't think they "kept it alive" when it was gone for 20 years. All the new movies don't feel like the same franchise to me though, they just feel like any other monster movie where humans get possessed by demons or creatures though. Like you could name the movies anything else and you wouldn't think it's part of the franchise. The 2013 reboot rehashed all scenes of the original movie though.

And the new movies don't have the "weird" from the old movies. Like deadites becoming giant monstrosities with huge necks and giant heads, stuff like that.

Kind of. There were a couple of videogames in the early 2000s with Bruce Campbell coming back as Ash for the second one. Then there were some comics series by Dynamite Entertainment and a new comicbook adaptation of the first movie by Dark horse. But sure, nothing coming from Raimi.

Right?! Those things were what makes an Evil dead movie cool. The new stuff is not groovy at all.

The last 3 movies just went full horror movies, I actually like the second one the most (the one with the mother and the 3 kids and her sister?), as it at least did something different. It was fun to watch.

I also think without the humor they're just any other generic horror movie, even if some scenes can be gruesome or thrilling to watch. It's weird, you'd think humor wouldn't work in horror movies but for Evil Dead it feels like an essential part of it.
