They're calling it a "spinoff" whatever that means. ED2013 and ED:Rise didn't have Ash, but had Necronomicons. Seem spinoff-y enough to me already. Sebastien Vanicek, a guy I never heard of, is directing. But...I never heard of Fede Alvarez before ED2013, and he just did the 4th Dragon Tattoo movie, and "Don't Breathe" is already as famous as Freddy and Jason, so.... https://www.darkhorizons.com/evil-dead-spin-off-gets-director-vanicek/
