I Rewatched Evil Dead (2013) Before Evil Dead Burn... I Forgot How Brutal It Was

A new Evil Dead just hit theaters (Evil Dead Burn, out now), so I went back and rewatched the 2013 reboot I'd apparently already seen and completely forgotten. Turns out that was a mistake — in the best way. This is an honest, no-hype look at Fede Álvarez's Evil Dead (2013): the setup, the cast (Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Elizabeth Blackmore), why critics are genuinely split on some of these performances, the insane practical-effects record it holds (70,000 gallons of fake blood, no joke), the blood-rain ending, and that Bruce Campbell cameo everyone still argues about. If you're deciding whether Evil Dead (2013) is worth revisiting before or after Evil Dead Burn, this should answer it.
