Ending Notes
Beth and Kassie managed to defeat the Deadite spider via wood chipper, albeit covered in blood. They leave, and we meet a human Jessica who’s on the phone trying to convince her cousin to come to a cabin with her. We become the entity and fly into Jessica, starting where we began.

It's not a bad movie, I like it. But out of all the Evil Dead movies, this one seems the least cohesive.

You know what's coming with an Evil Dead movie, and this one is more predictable than most of them.

There's a lot of blood: often from a body, but even in the elevator a la The Shining or when it's raining down on Beth and Kassie in the basement.

Gore drives the score here — extreme and unflinching. Genuinely creepy in places. Heavy content warnings for Child Death, Gore / Excessive Gore add significant weight. The bleak tone pushes it further.
