What to Know

Critics Consensus

Some of the evil magic is gone as this trilogy capper dispenses with most of the scares, but Bruce Campbell's hammy charm and Sam Raimi's homage to classic visual effects make for a fun enough adventure.

Peter Besas Variety 03/31/2023
Blending almost nonstop violence with humorous parody, Sam Raimi’s latest excursion into horror-kitsch should prove a crowd-pleaser for the mall trade and perhaps a mite beyond. Go to Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer 03/31/2023
3/4
Replete with thumping horse hooves, the battle cries of lusty men and the banshee screams of the living dead, Raimi's movie comes at you with a noisy, jokey swagger. Its hero even says "groovy" and gets away with it. Go to Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 03/31/2023
1.5/4
Here's the problem: Bruce Campbell's character is a complete stiff, and so is everyone else he meets who isn't a special effect. The result is that we couldn't care less who wins any battle in the movie no matter how inventively photographed. Go to Full Review Alan Jones Radio Times Dec 17
2/5
As the second sequel to his classic Evil Dead, however, it's a vapid exercise in watered-down horror kitsch that betrays the whole ethos of the sublime original. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Sep 12
4/5
Despite abandoning the horror elements of its predecessors, it's still an entertaining showcase for Bruce Campbell's comedic chops and physical prowess. Go to Full Review Adrian Martin Film Critic: Adrian Martin Jul 30
3/5
Relocating Campbell and the nasty, invisible spirits who are his nemesis back in medieval times, the film is a riot of corny postures and camp lines. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
