“Evil Dead Rise” is literally, bloody awesome. 

The first “Evil Dead” remake was already insanely gory. This one smashes it with a sledgehammer in that department. 

This movie is definitely not something someone with a weak stomach should watch. It is gross, violent, and makes you want to take a long shower. A perfect tribute to the “Evil Dead’ franchise. 

The movie begins with a flash forward of teenagers in a cabin. One is possessed and completely messes everyone up, but then it is shown that it was one day after the actual events of the movie. 

Two sisters who have not spoken in months meet up again. While the two catch up, the single mother’s kids go out to get pizza and an earthquake splits the ground opening a hole to the old bank their apartment was built on top of. 

The son finds the necronomicon and a vinyl record. After playing it, an old priest reads off the text of the book and unleashes the evil, possessing their mother and setting her off. The mother’s sister has to protect them at all cost while the mom goes on a rampage on their apartment floor. 

This movie was insane. It has a much different vibe than any other “Evil Dead” movie. 

It does a lot of things never seen before, not just from other “Evil Dead” movies, but things I have never seen in horror movies in general. The visuals used during a scene where an elevator flies up from the bottom floor to the top were truly unique. 

The amalgamation of the family at the end of the movie and the illustrations within this movie’s necronomicon are also spectacular.

Amazing visuals that put you on the edge of vomiting, an easy-to-follow story, and awesome actors make you drawn in rather than being just excited for the soon-to-come gore. 

If you have the stomach for it and want to see a movie different from the rest, go see “Evil Dead Rise.” Tickets are on sale now.
