Why it’s HorroRated
Evil Dead Rise is the franchise's best entry since Evil Dead II, primarily because Lee Cronin found a new angle: putting the Evil Dead in an urban apartment building and centering the horror on a mother who becomes something her children must fight. The practical effects are extraordinary and the elevator sequence is one of the franchise's absolute best moments. A confident and brutal continuation.
Synopsis
Lee Cronin directs the franchise's first installment genuinely separated from the original characters and settings, with a family horror premise that prioritizes emotional stakes alongside the practical effects. The elevator sequence is one of the franchise's absolute best moments. A confident and brutal continuation.
