Evil Dead Rise
A reunion between two estranged sisters gets cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic, blood-soaked battle for survival that reimagines Evil Dead’s demonic terror in a vertical urban nightmare.
- Reinvents the franchise’s cabin-in-the-woods formula with a high-rise setting that ratchets up tension and isolation.
- Strong lead performances, especially from Lily Sullivan, ground the supernatural chaos in fraught family dynamics.
- Practical gore effects deliver the grisly body horror fans crave, even if the story leans on familiar tropes.
- Divides purists and newcomers alike—less Raimi’s slapstick mania, more modern horror thriller atmosphere.
