Ash vs Evil Dead: Brujo (2015)
Season 1, Episode 4
Ash vs Uncle Brujo and the Drug Trip
30 November 2015
Episode 4 is probably the weakest so far, but definably worth a watch. In this installment Ash and the gang travel to see Pablo's uncle, a witch doctor who may be able to help as with defeating the dead. Before they get there, the trademark Evil Dead POV tracking shot is put to use. We've never actually seen the monster when this happens as the filmmakers choose wisely to leave it to our imagination, but in this episode it is shown to be…a CGI dust cloud? Hmm, disappointing.

Upon arriving at Brujo Ash is sent on a mildly amusing but overlong acid trip throughout the rest of the episode. Kelly is shown to be having some after-effects of the fight with Eligos in the previous episode – she look like she is possessed by the demon. Ash, in his mind, attempts to take down Eligos but in reality he is attaching Kelly. Pablo and his Uncle restrain Ash my knocking him out cold, and the episode ends abruptly on what could be considered something of a cliff-hanger.

Meanwhile the rather dull pairing of Amanda Fisher and Ruby Knowby decide to team up to track Ash. We are also treated to Ash's severed hand.

A bit of a forgettable filler episode in truth, but it has its moments, and it's cool to see a demon as a recurring character, especially if it's as awesome as Eligos.
