Oh man that would be awesome.

To do so, he’s relocated the action to an urban domestic setting in a run-down Los Angeles apartment building. Rather than teens, it’s a family reunion between Beth (Lily Sullivan), who travels with a band and doesn’t have her life together, and sister Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland), a newly single cool mom to three kids (Morgan Davis, Gabrielle Echols, Nelle Fisher). Of course, there’s the evil force waiting to be discovered in a vault and a book bound in human skin that unleashes a whole lot of hell.

“I think placing horror in recognizable domestic circumstances is often a really great shortcut to connect with an audience, and I thought it’d be very interesting if we could take the malevolence of the Deadites into the city,” Cronin says. “Sam, Rob, and Bruce, being the protectors of all that is Evil Dead, were on board instantly and liked taking it into that space.”

Even if the cabin is mostly absent from this story, Rise fits within the series continuity. Cronin points to the scene in Army of Darkness when Ash encounters three books bound in flesh. That stuck with him, and he wrote with the idea that all three—the Naturom Demonto, Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, and simply the Book of the Dead in Rise—exist in the same universe. There’s one in Raimi’s world, another in Alvarez’s, and a third here. “They might have slightly different edges to them in terms of what they can do, and there’s a little subtle change or two to the incantations,” Cronin says. Rise’s Book of the Dead is a “bastard cousin” to the others, with Celtic influences, Cronenbergian sketches, sharp teeth, and veins. This book also creates a pathway to “open up the door for more Evil Dead stories moving forward by changing it up.”

Rise also includes more Deadite dialogue than before, which Cronin says is justified by the intimate setting and familial relationships. That leads to memorable lines from Sutherland’s Ellie—such as “Mommy’s with the maggots now”—which Cronin jokes will make it onto T-shirts. Along with tees, it is an obvious question if the success of Evil Dead Rise might lead to a sequel.

“I was never trying to bait for sequels,” says Cronin, who was only aiming to make a great movie. But he leaves up to four avenues of the story open, including one that picks up 20 minutes after the final shot. There’s an intentional reason he closes out Evil Dead Rise the way he does.

Evil Dead Rise Is a Horror Gorefest That Will "Punch You in the Face"

First reactions should be coming in a few days with the premiere at SXSW.

I thought Scream 6 was phenomenal, and the best Scream since Scream 2. But I would not be shocked if this is the best horror film of the year.

Raimi is interested in directing another Evil Dead with Bruce at some point.

Raimi is particularly up for doing something that reunites him with Campbell and producer Rob Tapert, who has been involved in the Evil Dead series since the very start. “I love working with Bruce and Rob,” Raimi says. “I love it as a producer because they’re really good partners, but I also like being supported by them as the director. So I hope that is on the cards eventually.”

I haven’t seen the show yet, but doesn’t Ash Vs the Evil Dead act as a very loooong Evil Dead 4 movie? I heard Bruce Campbell say he got to tie up Ash’s story with it.

 

[Nardz937]

Wonder if they’ll revisit the original plan of having Ash cross-over with the protagonist of the new film.

The third season ended on a cliffhanger. There was a planned season 4 but it was canceled.

Since then Bruce has reiterated that he is done with the role in live-action since he’s older and body is beat-up.

...I hope this can sit alongside S6REAM, Halloween Ends, and 5CREAM's greatness.

I seriously cannot wait for this. Loved Halloween Ends, haven’t seen Scream yet but I am so ready and don’t see why I’d differ. I love the Scream franchise so. And then this, yeah I am set haha.
