If you’re new to this franchise, you’re in for a freaky treat. New Line Cinema and Renaissance Pictures present the return of the iconic horror franchise with Evil Dead Rise.
This is the 2023 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Lee Cronin. In this 5th installment, they’re moving the action out of the woods and into the city as we follow the twisted story of two estranged sisters.
First introduced to horror fanatics in the 1980s, the supernatural gore flick Evil Dead introduced us to the series protagonist Ash (Bruce Campbell), the infamous Book of the Dead. This gory splatter hit horrified audiences so much that some countries, including Finland and Singapore, banned the film due to its violence and gore.
In this fifth Evil Dead film, taking on the lead roles of the two sisters will be Alyssa Sutherland (The Devil Wears Prada) as Ellie and Lily Sullivan (Mental) as Beth. The story follows a road-weary Beth, who pays a long-awaited visit to her older sister Ellie, who raises three kids alone in a small LA apartment.
The sisters discover a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie’s building, and as demons/zombies rise, Beth is now in a survival battle, playing a version of a mother she never imagined.
