The sisters' reunion is cut short by the discovery of a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie's building, giving rise to flesh-possessing demons, and thrusting Beth into a primal battle for survival as she is faced with the most nightmarish version of motherhood imaginable.

Audience Says

Evil Dead Rise's intense horror and inventive gore help make up for a so-so story that downplays the franchise's signature humor.

Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Hanna Flint Time Out It's not for the faint-hearted but for long-time fans and horror nuts, just sit back and let the blood wash over you. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Joey Shapiro Chicago Reader The first sequel in a full decade, this should feel like getting an Evil Dead reunion, but instead it’s more akin to a so-so tribute band. Apr 26, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Evil Dead Rise provides blood by the bucketful without ever crossing the line into outright cruelty. Rated: 4/5 Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Calum Cooper Cinerama Film Evil Dead Rise may lack some of the dark comedy of its predecessors, but the tankards of blood and intensity of its horror more than make up for it. Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Ghouls Magazine Evil Dead Rise is a return to unpretentious and unrestrained, gore-soaked terror for mainstream horror, bringing the franchise back to be with the maggots, in the best possible way. Rated: 5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew It’s thoroughly tense with genuine hair-raising moments. The movie only falters when it doubles down on the gore at the expense of character development: it wastes an opportunity to pursue more lasting unease as opposed to just temporary thrills. Rated: 3/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Not as nail biting as the first. Sloppy editing but I've come to expect it from a shock horror film (jump film). During those few truly jumpy scenes is where the film shined. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Sonya Not scary at all & 2013 evil dead did it best Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Anna V Excellent remake that left a touch from the older films.
