“Honey, I’m home.”
After several weeks of building, Starz and Sam Raimi’s “Ash vs Evil Dead” is (thankfully) heading into fan-service territory.
This past Saturday, Ash (Bruce Campbell), Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), now joined by Fisher (Jill Maria Jones), arrived at the survivalist camp in the midst of chaos and must go to extreme measures to escape. While the episode was incredibly bloody, it felt like filler bridging viewers to Ash’s return to infamous cabin that tormented him in The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, and presumably Mia (Jane Levy) in the 2013 Evil Dead.
The below trailer for Episode 108, ‘Ashes to Ashes,’ teases the epic return to the cabin.
In the actual “Ash vs Evil Dead” episode, Ash attempts to bury the book to end the Evil, but first he must contend with other, more physical things from his past. Fisher also faces a horrific change in Ash.
I’ve seen the final three episodes and can assure you that they all take place in the cabin, and that all sorts of crazy shit happens. While I won’t go as far as to say there’s classic stuff here, I will say that it’s better than the previous handful of episodes and delivers a lot of what fans are hoping for.
Now, “Ash vs Evil Dead” is heading back to where it all started, and where it’s going to end….
