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.

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. Go to Full Review
Joey Shapiro Chicago Reader 04/26/2023
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. Go to Full Review

Evil Dead Rise provides blood by the bucketful without ever crossing the line into outright cruelty. Go to Full Review
Guillermo Troncoso Screen Realm Dec 1
4/5
A slickly crafted and gleefully mean chapter of this long-running franchise. The high shock factor is made palatable (somewhat?) with a devilish sense of humour, and the film’s demonically spirited energy makes for a strong pace. Go to Full Review
Bryce Hanson Horror Movie Talk Sep 23
10/10
Instead of disposable slasher teens, we are shown a loving and functional family. When one of them is preyed upon by the demons it hurts, and it adds to the disgust and terror of the moment. Go to Full Review

4/5
Cronin understands what makes an Evil Dead film work: creative visuals, shockingly comedic moments, and lots and lots of gore. Go to Full Review
