We discuss ten movies like Evil Dead Rise you must watch. Add these well-recommended films to your watch list.
Evil Dead Rise is a reboot of the Evil Dead franchise, directed not by Sam Rami but by Lee Cronin. It follows Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) reuniting with her sister Beth (Lily Sullivan).

The movie was a relative critical and audience success, so filmgoers will likely see another film in the franchise, though one hasn’t been confirmed yet. But, while you wait for that, here are ten movies similar to Evil Dead Rise you must watch.
