Unrelated but when I went to see this in theaters, during the part where the little girl spears her deadite sister with the doll on a stick, a guy in the front row put both his arms up in victory and yelled “STAFFANIEEE!” and I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in years

I love the parenting theme of messing up with the two eldest children and getting it right with the youngest. That's so real, especially since each child lasted longer than the previous one.
@MidnightHedgehog365
I think it's worth saying this about the marauder. Ellie lost an arm and a leg. And then the kids tore into her body to become one with her. She was basically a moving, talking vessel, while the kids were doing the grabbing, turning on the wood chipper, ect. She lost an arm and a leg and her children gain autonomy through her. She was their vehicle. Very symbolic of the fear of losing everything you are and your personal autonomy to then uplift your children. Literally giving up an arm and a leg for your kids.
@vishnudev4826
Great explanation. The main aspect of horror here is how the deadite invasion tears apart an already struggling family. You have to kill your own flesh & blood to save your life. Disturbing yet thrilling.
@rasellewolf
I have to say, I think the Evil Dead franchise is unique among horror franchises in that it hasn't had any misses. There is some tonal variety and the quality of special effects has improved, but there haven't been any outright bad entries. Pretty impressive.
@NightwalkReal
There's also the body horror component of pregnancy that beth is probably scared of, explaining the kids literally coming out of the mother at the end.
@Cthulhu4President
They definitely set this up for a new trilogy. They glossed over the fact that when the two escape they've left the Necronomicon in the building with Deadites still crawling around inside.
@crispybits3765
One of the best horrors in recent years. The direction and performances are superb. Everyone I have recommended this to has ended up loving it.
@darkwriter_xx94
I hadn’t thought about that but you’re right, the small amount of space in the apartment did heighten everything. With the previous movies you have the woods to run into. In this, they’re literally stuck.
@thesonofdormammu5475
I loved this movie, I hope they make a director's cut with some of the missing scenes (like how Jessica got to the lake with Caleb and Teresa, maybe some more backstory about Ellie and Beth's mom and Ellie's husband, who is Beth's baby's dad, etc). Alyssa Sutherland freaking nailed the creepiness of a deadite. So awesome.

Now that you mention it, the three survivors of this movies (Ash, Mia, Beth) are able to survive because of their survival instincts. But when we look closer to Mia and Beth is the family bonds ( with David and with kassie) that makes them survive, in a strange way the 2013 movie and this one have a strange family love message that love for them can make you survive.

This is why I absolutely love the Evil Dead Franchise. The original was a showcase in shock horror by making the victims just everyday people who get attacked. There really was no message just gore and fun. Since the TV series, they really attempt to relate the horrors to something real. A large portion of the TV series used the deadites as a way to mock and symbolize Ash’s ability to not let go of the past. Even in his 50-60s he is still living as the same guy he was in the past. The TV series had him make new friends after he lost all of his past ones and even by the end, reunite with a daughter he never thought he could have. That’s when the deadites just become an annoyance to him, rather than a fun rollercoaster ride of blood. He got something to care for. These 2 last films did exactly the same thing, but in condense versions. With 2013 relating the horrors to Drug addiction and Rise relating it motherhood, childbearing, and motherhood in general. Showing how much a parent has to grow up and sacrifice in order to bring a child into a world of potential pain and suffering. It’s also about the how family dram should not be used to tear a family apart. Due to Beth living her life on the road she is attempting to experience something other than what her sister is. Even the marauder represents how much a parent has to sacrifice of themselves. With the kids literally hinging on the mothers body and ripping into it. The films are so simple, but the slightest little relatable message makes it so much more and instantly rewatchable with the blood and gore.
@nofilterbtxh5000
I thought it was gonna be a fun horror,I wasn’t expecting to be called out for my fear of parenthood 😂😂😂
@mikey2time484
The shot of the outside of the building then the lil girl cutting the head off the doll is a nod to childs play. I loved all the horror easter eggs
@blackblurable
Evil never dies. That’s something I always say. Good and evil will always exist. To think one completely goes away while the other does not is narrow minded. They’re two sides of the same coin. Sometimes one triumphs and somethings it’s the other.
@SilentHill4Life
The gold standard for horror. Such a perfect movie
@stalkmoonwowweee7196
This literally the BEST take on this film by far on YouTube entirely thank you for sharing this definitely gonna pass this on to friends & fam who are fans of Evil dead.🔥
@NightOwlMovieTalk
Fantastic analysis. I've been telling people this is a film about motherhood and insecurities, to which I get eye rolls. Thanks for making me not feel alone for a bit.
@SilverFoxUK87
Man I love this movie from its hardcore opening - horror stays with you (I still am a bit freaked out by the werewolf home invasion scene from Silver Bullet and that was 20? Years ago) - in your dreams…. It creates nightmares - or at least creates a lasting impression… that’s where horror starts. And it delivers.
