Let’s make sense of EvilDead's groovy timeline.
Evil Dead Rise will soon bring the Deadites to theaters again, with director Lee Cronin taking over the franchise created by Sam Raimi. As in previous Evil Dead movies, Evil Dead Rise will unleash demons when a family inadvertently reads summoning passages of the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead. Every trailer for Evil Dead Rise is filled with spine-chilling footage, and early reactions praise the movie as one of the best chapters of the franchise yet.
Unfortunately for Raimi, his career would still take a few years to take off. After The Evil Dead, Raimi hit a crossroads between success and failure when Crimewave flopped at the box office. The only way out of his dire situation was to return to the franchise that put him on the map. With the help of King, Raimi was able to release Evil Dead 2 six years after the original, in 1987.
And then we get to Evil Dead Rise, with invites a new director to take over the franchise. The main elements are still part of the new movie, which will also revolve around the Necronomicon, dark incantations, and Deadites. Nevertheless, the film will take place in a new location and feature an entirely different cast. So, considering the franchise’s complicated production history, is Evil Dead Rise a reboot, a standalone story, or a sequel? The answer is all of the above.
