Evil Dead Rise doesn’t do anything to reinvent the wheel or try anything too groundbreaking but reminds us how fun an Evil Dead film can be. It takes us back into the world and shows the horrors of demonic possession, keeping the blood thirty delights of the original. It may be nothing new, but Evil Dead Rise is another good entrance into the world that Sami Raimi built 42 years ago.
This time around the cabin in the woods is swapped for an apartment block in LA. The premise almost remains the same, however. You find a book bound in human flesh and open it, what’s the worst that can happen? Well, that’s exactly what the characters here find out. Three siblings living with their single mother (Alyssa Sutherland) discover a...

This post contains spoilers for Lee Cronin's "Evil Dead Rise."
The "Evil Dead" franchise epitomized the cabin in the woods horror trope in visceral and uncompromising ways. When Lee Cronin decided to craft a fresh, equally demented installment to keep the franchise going, he shifted the setting to a cramped L.A. apartment where a family unit experience horrors beyond their imagination. Apart from this marked shift in focus, Cronin's latest installment puts women under the spotlight by letting them be as emotionally complex and frighteningly scary as possible, with a story that puts these characters directly in the heart of gory mayhem.
Cronin's decision to veer in a fresh direction leads to a gripping apartment horror with a family forced to tear one another apart. Although the film relies on established franchise tropes, including tapes that spell out demon-summoning incantations and standard Deadite behavior, "Evil Dead Rise" situates...

Someone must have unwisely read from the Necronomicon because the deadites are back to cause bloody mayhem with the upcoming "Evil Dead Rise" next year. It will have been just about a decade since the last time a new "Evil Dead" movie was shown on the big screen, with Fede Alvarez's 2013 ultra-gory ode to Sam Raimi's indie horror sensation. As the video game continues to be going strong, and another movie is on the way, it's a pretty great time to be an "Evil Dead" fan.
The sheer influence that Raimi's 1981 horror film had on the genre is far and wide. "The Evil Dead" will always be the signature template of the "teenagers stay in a creepy cabin in the middle of the woods" flick, with "Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn" being one of the greatest horror comedies ever made. Although "Army of Darkness" leaned more into its fantasy sensibilities,...
