It's all in the title.
This is a very good scary movie as in really scary which is not the case for most "scary" movies.
Good rhythm, good ideas, the story holds up well, good characters with pretty good instincts, jump scares, uneasiness, and a lot of gore.
Checking all these boxes is pretty rare.
For me it's a success, minus the fact that there isn't any particular subtext to the movie, which I greatly enjoy in the genre, but I guess you can't have everything.
8/10.
(I am not familiar with the whole evil dead franchise, so I couldn't comment on whether or not it's a good sequel or has good references to the previous movies)
