Evil Dead Rise

Evil Dead Rise is a 2023 New Zealand possession film directed by Lee Cronin.

Moves the cabin to a Los Angeles tower block. The cheese grater is the sequence people talk about.

Moves the cabin to a condemned Los Angeles tower block, which is the best idea anyone has had with this material since 1981.

A woman visits her sister and three children in a building due for demolition. An earthquake opens a vault beneath the car park containing a book.

Lee Cronin's change is that the deadite is the mother, which turns the whole film into children trapped in a flat with a parent who is still using her voice. That is considerably nastier than a cabin full of teenagers.

Alyssa Sutherland is excellent and the peephole shot is the best single image in the franchise.

The cheese grater sequence is the one that gets talked about and it is not even the worst thing in it.

It is very wet. The final act uses roughly 6,500 litres of blood, which the production has been happy to publicise.

Argentinian, merciless, and it establishes early that the film will not spare anybody. It means it.

The Philippou brothers' second, and considerably harder to sit through than the first. Sally Hawkins is the reason.

Half remake, half sequel, and it turns the first film into slapstick without losing the nastiness.

A divorce film with a tentacle in it. Adjani's U-Bahn scene is the most extreme acting on this site.

A film about a man realising his son is not his. Jerry Goldsmith won the Oscar and earned it.
