Evil Dead Rise: Evil Dead Rise is a forthcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Lee Cronin, produced by Robert Tapert, and executive produced by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. Alyssa Sutherland, Lily Sullivan, Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher, and Mia Challis star in the fifth edition of the Evil Dead franchise.
The story revolves around two sisters who are striving to defend their family from evil creatures called as Deadites.
The film’s development was preceded by the cancellation of plans for a sequel to 2013’s Evil Dead and a fourth installment in the series. Raimi revealed in October 2019 that a new film was in the works, with Campbell producing and Cronin scripting and directing.
Along with HBO Max, New Line Cinema (the first film’s distributor) was revealed as the film’s distributor.
Evil Dead Rise Cast
Lee Cronin (The Hole In The Ground) will direct the franchise’s fifth installment, which will take the action out of the woods and into the city for the first time. Cronin was hand-picked by Raimi for the role, which is no minor feat. Meanwhile, Raimi was working on Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The following is the Evil Dead Rise synopsis:
“A road-weary Beth pays a delayed visit to her older sister Ellie, who is raising three children on her alone in a tiny L.A. apartment in the fifth Evil Dead film. The sisters’ reunion is cut short when a mysterious book is discovered deep within Ellie’s building, spawning flesh-eating creatures and forcing Beth into a primordial battle for survival as she faces the most terrifying version of motherhood imaginable.”

Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings), Lily Sullivan (Picnic at Hanging Rock), Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End), and Nell Fisher (Vikings) are among the cast members (Splendid Isolation). Tapert is producing, and Raimi, Campbell, Romel Adam, John Keville, and Macdara Kelleher are executive producing alongside Romel Adam, John Keville, and Macdara Kelleher. With the film now graded and completed, we should see a trailer sooner rather than later, so keep an eye out.
Evil Dead Rise Plot
The premise for the film has been revealed jointly by Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, and HBO Max, in which a woman named Beth travels to visit her sister Ellie, who lives in a small, cramped apartment in Los Angeles with her three children. When a weird book is unearthed in a similar manner to the original story, demons rise, and Beth must fight for her life in “the most hellish form of motherhood possible,” as they describe it.
Cronin cynically refers to the film as a “heartwarming and touching family drama” in his Twitter posts, which include a photo of a blood-splattered countertop labeled “Damn kids never clean up the kitchen.” This suggestion, combined with the fact that Cronin’s previous film dealt with wicked children, makes one question which member of the family in Los Angeles will be possessed in Evil Dead Rise.
A relaunch with a new storyline provides a chance to modernize the series while still incorporating new, horrifying ideas. We may expect some of the dark creepiness that we witnessed in Lee Cronin‘s debut film, A Hole In The Ground, in the new part, as he writes and directs it.

Cronin wrote and directed the picture, which received favorable reviews when it was released in 2019. The plot revolves around a mother whose son returns home from the woods behind their house acting strangely. The woman begins to suspect that the youngster is not her child, but rather a Changeling, a creature from European legend who is claimed to have been left in the place of a child kidnapped by fairies.
The parental terror story is shot in an ominously grey rural setting, with fascinating sights and a weird creepiness. There is no humor in the picture, leaving fans to speculate whether the newer and maybe more terrifying Evil Dead film will follow in the footsteps of the first trilogy’s stupid, comedic manner.
The Evil Dead Rated R
The Evil Dead franchise returns this year with a whole new film from the original trio who started it all, with Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert producing Evil Dead Rise, which will be released later this year on HBO Max. This will be the first film in the franchise since the Evil Dead remake in 2013, and it will not hold back, as it has been given a R rating.

Evil Dead Rise is classified R by the MPAA for “intense violent horror violence and gore, as well as occasional language.” Even while it’s not surprising that it received a R rating, that sounds (vaguely) like what fans desire from an Evil Dead movie. The only thing that will be missing is Ash Williams, as Campbell left the character with the cancellation of Ash vs. Evil Dead, but he will be on board to assist behind the scenes.
Evil Dead Rise Release Date
Though no particular release date has been determined, Evil Dead Rise is set to hit theatres in the United States in 2022, according to Universal/HBO. The reboot’s filming in New Zealand was officially completed on October 25th.
Lee Cronin announced the end of the show on Twitter, saying he was “cutting this thing together” on his way home. With the film currently in post-production, the exciting supernatural revival might be released as early as summer, April 2022.
Conclusion
Evil Dead, the cult-classic comedy-horror franchise, is making a comeback with a fresh, horrific plot. Evil Dead Rise is a revival of Sam Raimi’s 1981 demonic possession tale, which spawned comedy-horror favorites including the humorous A Cabin In The Woods and Shaun Of The Dead.
It was first revealed in October of 2019. With Raimi returning to produce and Lee Cronin (A Hole In The Ground) chosen to write and direct the next picture, fans of the original flicks can expect the same humorous and strange horror that they’ve come to expect from the franchise.
