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.

Critics Consensus

Offering just about everything longtime fans could hope for while still managing to carry the franchise forward, Evil Dead Rise is all kinds of groovy.

Audience Says

Evil Dead Rise's intense horror and inventive gore help make up for a so-so story that downplays the franchise's signature humor.

Time Out

It's not for the faint-hearted but for long-time fans and horror nuts, just sit back and let the blood wash over you.

Rated: 4/5

The first sequel in a full decade, this should feel like getting an Evil Dead reunion, but instead it’s more akin to a so-so tribute band.

Evil Dead Rise provides blood by the bucketful without ever crossing the line into outright cruelty.

Instead of the humor, we get lots of scares and lots of gore. It is a different face of Evil Dead, but one that I think does the title justice.

Evil Dead Rise feels like any other horror/slasher I could see anywhere else, and that’s made even worse when I see so many opportunities that aren’t taken advantage of.

Rated: 3/5

It’s always good to see a reboot do well. And the latest addition to the Evil Dead franchise, which started with Sam Raimi’s iconic 1981 film The Evil Dead, does exceptionally well.

Bringing the deadite carnage into the big city this time around “Rise” is a scary, gory, but also fun entry into the franchise. “Rise” brings back some dark, twisted humor that was lacking in the equally effect 2013 “Evil Dead.”

Fun not to terrible movie. Not as nail biting as the first. Sloppy editing but I've come to expect it from a shock horror film (jump film). During those few truly jumpy scenes is where the film shined.
