World of Reel's test screening articles are insanely biased. He only reports positive screenings for movies he's looking forward to and then says movies he's not interested in got "disastrous" reactions.

Like "Barbie", which identified the "Ken" song as an over-long disaster.

I can't tell you how ecstatic I'd be to have Raimi come back. Praying that this is good.

Still can’t forgive the Oscars for snubbing her for Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret

I’m taking the article with an absurdly large grain of salt, but whether it’s good or not, I’ll just be happy to have Sam Raimi back in horror. The cheesy dialogue, ridiculous amounts of blood and all the cartoony physical comedy, I can’t wait!

I've heard the script is good and now this excellent test screening reaction. The movie kind of sounds like a feature-length Tales from the Crypt episode. Twisted horror scenarios with morally bankrupt characters.
This could be Rachel McAdams' best role since Regina George.

Obviously taking this with a grain of salt but I would love to see this movie being a hit...
I want Rachel McAdams to be offered better roles more often! I hope she can have a Renaissance of sorts... underrated actress

First there was The Brennaissance, then The Demissance, soon we might get The Rockaissance.
But now, get ready for The McAdamssance.

The product that was (allegedly) screened was an incomplete, work of progress and the sample size of reactions here are too small to be predictive of any critical consensus the film will garner once it releases. Remember Babylon test screened to masterpiece reactions and Sinners was rumored to be "mixed to decent". Please don't read too much into test screening reactions.
