I guess we got a lurker here because this just showed up on Reddit:

Eye chart is pretty slick even if it came from Reddit.
 
I hope it's true that we'll get a variety of eyes and looks because oh boy am I tired of the 2013 Deadite look. What's the point in giving artistic freedom to young talented filmmakers if they're gonna shoot movies with the same looking scary lady with orange eyes over and over again.
 
I thought Inwas comfortable on my "white eyes are the right eyes" high horse (that sounds wrong...), without ever really noticing that AoD doesn't have 'em that way for Evil Ash and Shiela.

Huh. Now I don't know WHAT to think.

Before I'd ever seen The Evil Dead, I was told "It's like The Exorcist but there's five of them! .. and the only way to kill them is to chop them up and nail that to a floor!" ..

I haven't watched The Exorcist for a while but I think Dick Smith's contact lenses on Linda Blair varied throughout the film so I don't worry too much about the eye lenses used in any of the films. Personally, I prefer all white with red veins eyes on my kandarian demons.

Looks like we got confirmed character names: Left to right: Tandi Wright (Susan), Souheila Yacoub (Alice), Maude Davey (Polly), Hunter Doohan (Joseph).

Correct order from ScreenRant is MAUDE DAVEY as Polly, SOUHEILA YACOUB as Alice, TANDI WRIGHT as Susan, and Hunter Doohan as Joseph.

But even that could be bogus. The names have been on IMDb for a few months now, but (as far as I know), there's been no official press statement about character names.

Tandi is from the Xena days, and played Gabrielle's niece in season 6... but I trust ScreenRant who posted it to have the correct order from left to right and based on pics of Maude who looks more like granny even though it is dark as hell.

The official poster has been released! They totally were inspired by / ripped off the Drag Me to Hell poster.

Quick thoughts:

Some decent kills - It's interesting that our main Deadite is incredibly articulate here; sounds like they're based on Rise's take on Deadites at least verbally.

Kills and gore look decent. That's a LOT of spoilers for who croaks and who doesn't, though.
 
My thoughts:

This movie looks kind of dumb, to be honest. The car seat headrest through the head, candle wax drinking, and falling back on the dishwasher gimmicks are super lame. I'm not sure I will see this in theaters.

Definitely looks more actiony. Perhaps this is the Aliens take on things.

I mean, Deadites are deadites, you gotta ramp it up by making them more plentiful and faster. But at least it doesn't look like, tonally, it'll be too oppressive.


But visually? SO GREY!!
 
Gotta say though, and maybe it's just me and a personal thing, but I hate when they lean too hard into Judeo-christian devil and hell stuff. I feel like deadites can be so much .ore interesting than that,AND it skews it too close to feeling like an Exorcist riff.
 
I like the energy in some of the editing and cinematography there. They also seem to have listened to the nearly unanimous complaints about it looking too dark and turned up the brightness a little, which is good.

Other than that? I'm sorry, but it just looks like the same film all over again, for the 3rd time in a row.
There isn't a single fresh idea in the entire trailer. I guess our 3rd female Ash substitute now uses a grass trimmer instead of a chainsaw? *sigh*... Also, deadites are looking and acting too much like regular humans for my tastes, they seem kinda boring.

I'm more positive on this than you are, but I agree with some of your points. It's frustrating that they are seemingly hiring these up-and-coming creative and passionate directors to... do again what already proved to work in 2013. The designs, the tone, the super serious gore that gets you hyperbolic quotes for the posters...

But I think it still could be great. Rise had these same issues, but it worked because of the themes and the characters. So I remain hopeful.
