Evil Dead Rise 2023

Released in April 2023, Evil Dead Rise is a supernatural horror film written and directed by Lee Cronin, serving as the fifth installment in the iconic Evil Dead franchise. The story shifts the series' traditional cabin-in-the-woods setting to a dilapidated Los Angeles apartment building, where a guitar technician named Beth (Lily Sullivan) visits her estranged older sister Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and Ellie’s three children: Danny, Bridget, and Kassie. After an earthquake uncovers a hidden vault in the basement, Danny discovers a volume of the Naturom Demonto and several 1923 phonograph records. When he plays a recording of a priest reciting incantations, he inadvertently unleashes a demonic force that possesses Ellie. What follows is a brutal, claustrophobic battle for survival as Beth tries to protect her nieces and nephew from their own mother, who has transformed into a terrifying "Deadite." The film culminates in a gory showdown at the ground-floor parking lot, where Beth and the youngest daughter, Kassie, use a wood chipper to destroy a monstrous, multi-limbed fusion of their possessed family members known as "The Marauder." The film features a standout cast led by Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland, whose physical performance as the possessed Ellie received significant critical acclaim. The supporting cast includes Morgan Davies as Danny, Gabrielle Echols as Bridget, and Nell Fisher in her debut film role as Kassie. Produced by Rob Tapert and executive produced by franchise legends Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, the movie was a massive commercial success, grossing approximately $147.2 million worldwide against a modest production budget of roughly $15–19 million. This performance made it the highest-grossing film in the Evil Dead series to date.Currently, Evil Dead Rise is available for streaming worldwide on Max (formerly HBO Max) in regions where the service is available, and it can be found on Netflix in several international territories. For viewers in regions without these platforms, the film is widely available for rent or purchase on digital storefronts such as Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google Play. Read More
