Evil Dead Rise

Amazing movie

Love the Evil Dead movies and this one is another great and twisted addition to the franchise.

Gotta say this didn't disapoint after the previous Evil Dead remake, which I thought was brilliant. At first I thought this would be predictable and thought having a cast of so many kids would prevent the gore and horror you expect from the Evil Dead franchise, but it didn't. Defo worth a watch if your a horror fan or Evil Dead fan.

What a movie!

I'll start by saying this film is fine. If 1/10 is awful, 10/10, is perfect, 5/10 is average, this is a solid 5 or 6/10. It has the spirit and inspiration of the Raimi films, but relies a little too heavily on CGI for my liking, but hey, apparently that's cheaper than practical effects these days. Even though it looks worse as CGI artists are under increasingly stupid deadlines and decreasing wages as Hollywood seems intent on imploding under it's own grandiosity, there's enough body horror in here that looks realistic to make it a squirmy watch.I can't really fault any of the actors in this film, everyone does what they need to and several are a joy to watch. It's shot very competently, the colour palette is fittingly unnerving, and the score, while not hugely memorable, supported the action really well.My main complaint was that this film could just have been... better... All of the individual ingredients are "fine," good even, but somehow the result is just that, fine. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this film, I watched it 3 times in my rental period, but somehow it just didn't wow me. It just seems to lack that self aware Raimi magic.It didn't need more gore, that was fine. It didn't need more charismatic actors, they were good, most, really good. It didn't need better music, at times it was great. It didn't need better cinematography, it was bloody nice at times. But it still felt hollow somehow... Please, horror fans, watch this with a beer and some friends, it's fun. But when compared to the original Evil Dead films it's a pale comparison, but a bloody try.It's a good watch, but the Evil Dead name carries certain expectations, and this is a good attempt - would I have enjoyed it more without the name attached? Maybe. My criticisms would be the same, I think I just expect a bit more with the Evil Dead name attached. But hey, Hollywood in general is on the decline these days, big budget films are losing money, let's hope that smaller films like this start to gain some more traction. Rent it, watch it, enjoy it. it's completely "fine."

This is, by far, the most scariest and most entertaining new Horror Movie. It is more frightening than Terrifier and I want to stand and applaud and salute the all-female cast. I felt so sorry and sad for the first victim, namely the elder of the two sisters. The entire movie is full of good scenes. I love the beginning when the first possessed begins to quote Wuthering Heights and comes out to take over the others' souls. I also loved when the eldest sister comes back from the lift and tries to get back to normal, and enters the kitchen and smashes eggs into the pan and flies out of the bathtub onto the ceiling and crawls around on and the walls. I love when the family merge into one. It is the Evil Book of the Undead that is playing, through the chants on the record. For me, the best performance goes to the eldest sister. I really cry for her because she is the mother of those children and she even says as she enters, in whispers, "It...it's not me." but is overpowered and how the younger sister tries to bring her back and cries for her. A true loving family wrecked by those evil dead spirits. The best Horror Film I have ever seen in my life. I have my own book coming out this Halloween and now feel so proud to have written stories like this particular one.

Bought 4 films and this is the best by far. Great scenes, good acting, will watch again. Hardcore lovers of this genre will appreciate the film. Recommended.

I actually enjoyed this film! Always a fan of the Evil Dead franchise. I do like a horror that has a good story line and plenty of gore this didn’t have much of that for me but still enjoyed and would recommend.
