“It was a perfect day…and all I could think about was how much I wanted to cut you all open and climb inside your bodies to stay one happy family.”
Evil Dead Rise is a worthwhile, extremely bloody, locked-room single location addition to the always entertaining Evil Dead franchise. Summoned to life through newcomer Lee Cronin and company, Rise does quite a great job of showcasing the Irish filmmaker’s potential and soon to be called up rise to A24. As…
