Genuinely one of the most poorly written books I've ever read. It's almost as if Iain Banks had a bunch of random ideas and decided to throw them all together. The twist at the end feels like it was just thrown in for shock value, just like everything else in the book. Each character is so ridiculously unrealistic and over the top that they are 1. Not likeable in any way and 2. Just not believable. Felt like I was reading a school project for an overly excited and intentionally "trying to be weird" kid.
The whole storyline with the brother didn't connect in any way whatsoever to any other plot line taking place. The random quirks of each character didn't add to the story, it just felt like the author kept getting random little ideas to chuck in from things he'd heard about throughout his day. I am honestly stunned that this book has the recognition and fame that it does.

Definitely don't waste your time on this one. The characters were all basic stereotypes, the story was disappointingly predictable, I had 30 minutes left and decided to stop watching there.
SPOILERS: But my god all the overacting, and random moments of romance really killed the whole "we are being hunted by an army of the dead" type vibes. Felt like Riverdale mixed with Scream mixed with Stranger Things. The random make-out session halfway through when cleaning all the blood off was next level stupid and made no sense.
It's a classic American teen-scream that isn't worth watching. Even stealing the "died and brought back to life to break the curse" gimmick from The Evil Dead.

As a fan of the originals, I was so satisfied with the director's choices in this film. The humor, the gore, the references to the past films were all absolutely fantastic! Especially liked the throw back to the shotgun line "Come get some!"

Could have easily been summarised as a 30 minute short story instead of this lengthy drawn out attempt at Gothic horror. I am the type to enjoy slow burn atmospheric movies, but this was on a whole other level of slow. I was left incredibly disappointed when the credits rolled. I can see what the directors were trying to do, especially with the repeated monologue of "I am the pretty thing that... etc" but it just felt repetitive and drawn out every time.
