Evil Dead Rise

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.
