Yes. But also no? Loved this and exploring evil dead beyond the camp. But I love camp. I am torn. I mean there’s a pretty sick wood chipper scene that’s filled some silliness. But, I just….want a chainsaw slammed onto a chopped off hand nub that inexplicably continues to work. I’m going to be brave and say what I feel. Who are you to judge me? AND IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THE SHOTGUN IN THE FILM SAY S-MART ON IT COME ON.
