“a road-weary Beth pays an overdue visit to her older sister Ellie, who is raising three kids on her own in a cramped L.A apartment. The sisters’ reunion is cut short by the discovery of a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie’s building, giving rise to flesh-possessing demons, and thrusting Beth into a primal battle for survival as she is faced with the most nightmarish version of motherhood imaginable.”
The movie stars Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings) and Lily Sullivan (Picnic At Hanging Rock).Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End), and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation). Evil Dead Rise is slated to hit theaters on April 21, 2023.
#EvilDeadRise is very much in the (malevolent) spirit of the originals. Gnarly, funny and OTT, from the opening scene I knew I was in for a treat and it didn’t disappoint or relent for the next 96 minutes. What a ride! #SXSW2023 pic.twitter.com/FxmrNs8Vbo

So, Evil Dead Rise absolutely rips, (literally). It's gloriously unhinged, and downright depraved. @LeeCronin brings a fresh sense of hell to the series, and the new setting works so damn well. Also Alyssa Sutherland, take a bow.
I'm a happy deadite. #EvilDeadRise @EvilDead pic.twitter.com/8pagGmLj0O

I had an absolute blast at #evildeadrise Incredible performances, shocking violence, a creative and crowdpleasing new take on the mythos. Best viewed in a crowded theater so you can all go through it together.

Home from #EvilDeadRise, and well done Lee Cronin. This film hits you HARD in all 5 senses, yet you're glued to the screen.
Alyssa Sutherland was chilling, and Lily Sullivan was a freaking BADASS. She does aunts/uncles everywhere proud ????#SXSW pic.twitter.com/dZLlPF3yVi— Kevin Williams (@_maccabi_) March 16, 2023

Was #EvilDeadRise worth the wait? Absolutely. This is blood-soaked carnage meant to be seen in a movie theater, and director Lee Cronin doesn't disappoint in the series' legacy. @GroovyBruce's chainsaw has been handed down, and it's just as groovy in action. #SXSW pic.twitter.com/z6TW6mgDaO

#EvilDeadRise is an utterly terrifying BLAST! A film so relentless & intense it took me back to that sense of pure terror I felt when I saw the original back in the 80’s. Can’t remember the last time a I heard a crowd scream and shout this much! SO MUCH FUN! #SXSW2023 pic.twitter.com/xFnIU2NEc8
