Evil Dead Rise (2023) ***1/2

The callbacks are (mostly) not too on the nose, the gore is sublime, there's the right blend of gravitas and humor, and I liked it more than the 2013 reboot. I liked the Art Deco building setting, the characters were decent, and enough was updated to make it feel fresh. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Overall, Evil Dead Rise (2023) is groovy.
