While not as as revolutionary as the previous franchise installments, EvilDeadRise is still one hell of a good time and an unmissable horror movie. Our review:
Few franchises can claim to have revolutionized cinema, but Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead is definitely one of them, having pushed forward practical effects and given horror comedies the prestige they deserve. The franchise was also smart enough to reinvent itself at each new installment, keeping things fresh while staying true to its core values, gathering a faithful fan base over the decades.
RELATED: Why 'Evil Dead Rise' Is the Franchise's Last Chance to Step Out of Bruce Campbell & Sam Raimi's Shadow The main issue with this approach is that Evil Dead Rise only has a handful of funny scenes. As a result, they are too few to set the movie's tone. In addition, they can interrupt the flow of the nerve-wracking extravaganza Cronin has crafted. Fortunately, this pacing issue happens sporadically, and for most of its runtime, Evil Dead Rise delivers on its promise of good scares and brutal action.
