The horror series "Evil Dead" has accomplished something remarkable: It has not yet been the subject of a bad movie. Quite a bit of this comes down to series maker Sam Raimi, who's fastidious enough about who he lets play with his sweet blood-doused child that there have just been five "Insidious Dead" motion pictures throughout the span of forty or more years. But at the same time something doesn't add up about the basic straightforwardness of its reason — the absolutely crazy "Multitude of Murkiness" excepted, obviously — that makes "Insidious Dead" simply work.

Evil Dead Rise

Advertisement The latest installment in the series, "Evil Dead Rise," is written and directed by Irish filmmaker Lee Cronin. His feature debut in 2019's "The Hole in the Ground" also deals with mommy issues and sinkholes. Cronin's foul reasonableness is a lot nearer to that of redo chief Fede Alvarez than Raimi's true to life kid's shows. However, one thing he and Raimi have in common is a demonic imagination.


The film's marketing centers on a key scene with a cheese grater, but "Evil Dead Rise" is full of creative mutilation. Eye trauma, hand trauma, vomit, bugs, broken glass, broken bones, decapitation, dismemberment, shotgun blasts, sharp objects going straight through a person's soft palate and out the back of their head—you name it, this movie has it. And that's not even taking into account the countless gallons of blood—enough to recreate the elevator scene from "The Shining" and cover two of its leads from head to toe for the final 20 minutes.
