When Evil Dead Rise was released in 2023, people had high hopes. Fede Alvarez had reinjected much needed passion and vitality into the Evil Dead franchise while Sam Raimi was busy making that Marvel money. Unfortunately, this movie fell flat for many viewers (despite being the most profitable of all the Evil Dead films at the box office!). While Alyssa Sutherland brings her A-game, the same can't be said for the other actors or even writer-director Lee Cronin, who relies on tired clichés and unimaginative death scenes. There's also a significant amount of terror directed at younger characters, which can be off-putting for older viewers though may also help the horror resonate with teenagers and young adults. Ultimately, the potential of this project was far greater than the execution.
