EVIL DEAD RISE (2023) - Movie Review

 

 

🎥  “EVIL DEAD RISE” (SPOILER FREE) (2023)

A Film by Lee Cronin 

  

Overview -   

Lee Cronin has crafted a mesmerizing and horrifying blood-fest with “Evil Dead Rise.” This was one of my most anticipated films to release of 2023 and I’m glad I got a chance to see it on the big screen. From the title card that hits you from the jump, the structure of the story’s narrative and name makes sense as a long time sequel to the “Evil Dead” films.

Positives -

ED Rise It has all the tropes and camp you’d expect from the “Evil Dead” universe. Alyssa Sutherland as MOMMY plays one of my all time favorite deadites, she is petrifying and embracing every second in her role as a devilish evil. This is her first major role. I think this performance will truly be a massive success for her as an actress.

She’s effectively changing her mannerisms to make it seem like she could be a franchise defining antagonist that we’ve yet to see take the mantle. Lily Sullivan as the new final girl Beth is also very good here. She reminds me a lot of Mia from the 2013 reboot, but she certainly stands on her own too.

There’s some wonderful moments with the kids that you’re rooting for to escape and defeat MOMMY.

The plot effectively takes place in a household environment, this creates extreme tension and chaos between the family and which proceeds into scared beyond for the audience.

The run time is adrenaline pumping and works in the films favor, it left me wanting more as the gore and effects were top notch. No lag or no unwanted scenes in the runtime.

There was a bunch of moments that were hard to watch but it made up for it due to timely action and mind disturbing violence sequences.

 

Negatives -

I didn't found any negative regarding the film, it's a pukka theatrical material which we have to enjoy in a high class theater.

 

Opinion -

“Evil Dead Rise” is a reminder that the iconic ED universe is still one of the greatest horror franchises of all time.

A solid sequel after 10 years and one of the best horrors I’ve seen in the recent times.
