Interesting on set report. Of note, Ash's abandoned Oldsmobile is near the cabin, covered in lots of leaves. If you read the interview, he likes to think of the movie is a reboot/sequel of the original ED1, as he correctly points out that ED2+AoD are basically the reboot/remakes of ED1. Which means Ash is dead (original ending of ED1).
They also mention Raimi is pretty key on having mostly practical effects /w minimal CGI, although they express some concerns on how the MPAA will try to tree-rape them.
