Evil Dead Rise (2023) is a chilling addition to the Evil Dead franchise, directed by Lee Cronin. The film follows two sisters, Beth and Ellie, who are forced to confront a demonic force when a deadly book is uncovered in an apartment building. Set in an urban environment rather than the traditional cabin in the woods, the story begins when an earthquake triggers the discovery of an ancient Necronomicon, unleashing bloodthirsty demons that take over the inhabitants. As the chaos unfolds, Beth must protect her nieces and fight against the evil that has overtaken her family.

The film delivers brutal gore and intense horror, staying true to the franchise’s roots while introducing a fresh perspective. It explores themes of familial bonds, survival, and the horror of watching loved ones transform into monstrous entities. Evil Dead Rise captures the essence of terror through its claustrophobic setting, relentless tension, and visceral horror, making it a gripping and terrifying experience for fans of the series.
