Evil Dead Rise Review By Critics


Ratings:3/5  Review By: The Guardian

There was a surprisingly straight face attached to 22013’sbracingly nasty Evil Dead reboot, a surprise given both the knockabout humor of Sam RRaimi’soriginal films and the genre landscape at the time. A visceral demonic body horror performed without a knowing wink and with a decent budget was not precisely run-of-the-mill back then and isn’t commonplace now, despite the genre’sever-increasing churn, and could explain why its robust box office performance didn’t immediately translate to more Evil outings.

Ratings:3/5   Review By: Times of India

The pre-credits sequence with slashing scalps, decapitated heads, and an ominous figure rising out of a lake to form the title card will knock the viewer’ socks off. After a nod to the traditional set-up of Sam RRaimi’shorror franchise, the film moves to an urban high-rise in LA. And thus, you have a standalone Evil Dead volume.

 Review By: CNN

Any franchise that can be kept alive on the cheap is brutal to kill, and so it is with “vil Dead Rise,””a Bruce Campbell-free (other than his producing role) addition to the horror staple. The movie was initially earmarked for streaming and looked the part with its bare-bones story, although for those who want to see buckets of blood and chainsaws, tthat’sprobably enough to get the job done.

Ratings:8/10  Review By: Coming soon

The new Evil Dead Rise is nothing at all like its campy counterparts. But this isn’t a bad thing! Instead of humor, we get lots of scares and gore. It is a different face of Evil Dead, which I think does the title justice.

Review By: The Hindu

There is so much fun to be had in Evil Dead Rise, the fifth installment of the series, which started with Sam RRaimi’s1981 cult classic The Evil Dead. According to writer-director Lee Cronin, there is blood (6,500 liters of fake blood), eye trauma (not so much fun), sputtering elevators filled with blood, bare-hand scalping, drone decapitation, and… let me see, oooh yes, chainsaws and dismemberment by wood chipper.
