  • 1. Moviezine
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The only thing that is really missing (apart from Bruce) is humor. There is plenty of room for black comedy in the absurd violence, such as a particularly vulnerable character whose poor body survives everything from a syringe to the eye to nails in the face.
    - Andreas Samuelson

    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: A simply wonderful new recording full to the brim with dreadful atmosphere and sloppy old-school special effects

  • 5. Expressen
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The new "Evil Dead" is completely drenched in disgustingness, is of course more beautiful on the surface and technically more perfect when 'the book of death' is brought out again despite warnings, and the demons of the underworld are once again given free rein.
    - Mats Bråstedt

  • 6. Nöjesguiden
    5 / 10

    Translated from swedish: There's nothing wrong with watching this movie, but only if you've already seen the original and are craving more, or are just a really boring type of person.
    - Victor Schultz

  • 7. Sydsvenskan
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Bold on paper. But the result lacks both the raw, evil nerve and the inspired demon regime. Instead, one desperately tries to conceal the grayish new packaging in a tsunami of blood.
    - Michael Tapper

  • 8. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Evil Dead" can work for a young group of friends to yell at each other during a movie night, but not much more than that
    - Björn G Stenberg

  • 9. Helsingborgs Dagblad
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In this year's "Evil Dead", it all starts over again, in the same bloodstained style.

  • 10. Fredrik Fyhr
    2.5 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Evil Dead" is not a movie. It is a 90-minute special effect, made by people who think you are stupid.

    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The new "Evil Dead" is one of the most boring films I have seen this year, and I cannot recommend it at all. What I can recommend is that you go and buy the original. Then at least you get value for your money.

    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The remake of "Evil Dead" is full of cliched horror film ingredients that have been seen far too many times before.

  • 13. Göteborgs-Posten
    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In the new film, Fede Alvarez is focusing on gory scenes and an excessively large amount of blood. The film failed to scare me even once.
