I don’t need to delve much deeper into the plot as you can already guess what happens next. Ellie gets incidentally transformed into a deadite, and now it’s up to her sister Beth to keep what’s left of the family alive as they try to escape the dilapidated building. Needless to say this is one of the most gruesome, and crazy films in the entire series. I’m a HUGE fan of Sam Raimi’s take on horror comedy, but the 2013 film went in a completely different direction. Instead focusing on the macabre and more brutal body elements of demon possession and the steps to defeat them. I always felt that the 2013 remake was a BRUTAL film gore wise, but Lee Cronin hits the ground running and amps up the gore from level 11, to full on 15 on a scale from 1-10. I’m not exaggerating here, but this one of THE goriest and blood soaked horror films I’ve ever seen. I never let gore get under my skin (even with torture films like Saw), but to its credit, Rise actually got under my skin. We jokingly refer to counting the kills with “gallons of blood” spilt in movies like these, but you’re LITERALLY taking measurements in “swimming pools of blood” here (and no, I’m not exaggerating). Lee Cronin owes Fede Alvarez a drink. The question of just how do you reboot a beloved horror franchise, and do it well, has already been thunderously answered by Alvarez’s astounding 2013 Evil Dead, meaning Cronin, the talented writer/director behind the stylish Hole in the Ground (2019), had a tried and tested blueprint to follow. And follow it he did.In the fifth Evil Dead film, 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.

For his first big main feature film, Lee Cronin is assisted by Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, and the Raimi brothers in making sure this Evil Dead Risemovie is scary, bloody, and gobs of fun while introducing new characters and settings. Usually, these films take place in a remote cabin with adults looking for a small romantic getaway. With this new sibling successor, the location is transported to a condemned high-rise building in Los Angeles with young kids the primary focus of the ensuing carnage. These elements haven't really been fully explored before in this realm, but Cronin keeps its pacing tight and the horror at an all-time high throughout the movie. Evil Dead Risecomes to 4K with a 2160p UHD 4K transfer with HDR enhancement. This is a visually stylized movie with many dark contrasts and low lighting levels to perfect that haunted and demonic look. It succeeds in those arenas where other movies might fail.The Dolby Atmos mix for Evil Dead Rise is bold and balanced from the opening and continues on as such straight through the film. There is strong use of the overhead speakers for atmospherics and discrete sounds, movement of sound effects through the surround channels, clear dialogue, and deep low end. The Supplements EVIL DEAD RISE is produced by long time franchise producer Rob Tapert (Ash vs Evil Dead, Don't Breathe) and executive produced by series creator and horror icon Sam Raimi and cult legend and "Ash" himself, Bruce Campbell.

The cast does a great job with the delivery and physical demands that these roles bring. Especially the role of Ellie who is put through the ringer from start to finish. And for those that are looking out for Bruce Campbell - that wish will be granted in a pitch-perfect way that might cause this film to be in a multi-verse of sorts. Evil Dead Riseis a fun, horror film with rivers of blood, carnage, and scares. It's a worthy addition to the franchise that sets up more films. Hopefully, the next go-around will examine the dark comedy that these films have delivered so well before.Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, EVIL DEAD RISE tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sullivan and Sutherland, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable. The image for this film is pristine. It takes place mostly in the dark besides the opening scene which is set in daylight. The darkness is not a hindrance for this film given the superb shadow detail extension. The HDR10 coding does not add a lot of extra brightness, given the artistic intent of the film, but in comparing the Blu-ray to the 4K Ultra HD, one can see a better dynamic range, more ‘pop’ in lights, flashlights, and lamps, and a bit more color, especially in the reds.
