<i>Evil Dead Rise</i>, the fifth film in the popular franchise, delivers a film for the fans, by fans.
[Spoiler-Free]
Set in a soon-to-be demolished apartment building in Los Angeles, far from the desolate cabin atmosphere we’re used to, we’re introduced to a family of five who must battle the now-awakened evil spirits in their incredibly large apartment and, eventually, entire building.
<i>Evil Dead Rise</i> features everything you expect from an <i>Evil Dead</i> film: Nods/References to previous films (you can never go wrong with recycling those famous one-liners), great (and creative) kills, and an incredible use of available resources. Oh, and there’s blood. <b>A lot of it</b>.
Throughout the film, I found myself smiling at the amount of blood and creative use of kitchen appliances, but mainly enjoyed the fact that we have a new <i>Evil Dead</i> film to experience on the big screen.
Go get some.
