Evil Dead Rise

You won’t catch a more satisfying horror film this year. Seek it out.

For fans of the franchise, Evil Dead Rises marks a welcome return to the seamless blend of humor and genuine scares and creepiness that Raimi created 42 years ago.

Evil Dead Rise provides blood by the bucketful without ever crossing the line into outright cruelty.

In the hands of writer-director Lee Cronin, a brilliant makeup and practical effects squad and a terrific cast that really sinks its teeth (sorry) into the material, the first film in the “Evil Dead” franchise in 10 years ramps up the gore and the supernatural elements while remaining true to its creatively gruesome origins.

The film flaunts the talents of its promising director, while playing plenty of homage to the predecessors. Gore, blood, jittery perspectives and strong performances from Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan make this film a worthy franchise entry.

While it doesn't quite reach the horrific highs of the 2013 remake, it rips through other splatter-fests with the finesse of a freshly whetted chainsaw blade.

It exists within a franchise but doesn’t add anything to it, ultimately feeling as hollow as the reanimated corpses it centers on.

Cumple muy bien con la franquicia tiene buenas escenas y se siente muy bien verla

This has much more in common with Evil Dead (2013) than the original trilogy. The tone is serious. It feels like they tried to modernise the concept whilst keeping some of the core ideas. It suffers from having mostly forgettable characters and no real protagonist that goes on a journey. The horror is intense and entertaining but this isn’t enough for an Evil Dead film. The series deserves more. So this is my least favourite of the films and TV show but better than the games. The last thirty minutes was excellent but the first hour meandered a bit too much, they just didn’t have enough content. I enjoyed it enough. I just feel like some of the charm of the demonic creatures has been made more generic.

Points for using non-cg blood here in most scenes. Some truly horrifying sequences will make most squirm. Even so theres nothing new here, its pretty shallow and a couple performances were outright humerously bad. And of course heavy handed with its simplistic ideological messages, even though its obviously conveyed by the characters and their actions.

Nothing but violence and blood. Story is not well written and tempo is not good.

What can I say other than I expected more. I was really looking forward to this film and it didn't even live up to the 2013 film that didn't really capture the feel of Evil Dead anyway and then this film can't even be classed as anywhere near the same level as Original 3 Evil Dead films. As an Evil Dead Film awful doesn't have the feel the scares or the quality of Evil Dead and as a horror film it's like a film you'd show to someone who had an interest in starting to watch horror films for the first time but didn't want a scary or creepy one so you just show them a badly written film you laugh at but they would think is scary so not good. I had high hopes and got extremely let down and it was I admit better on rewatch but still the things i have written are still apparent to me when watching.
