Review of Evil Dead Rise (2023) by Jakeyjake — 04 May 2023
Evil Dead Rise is a movie that will most likely be forgotten about when discussed amongst it's predecessors, it doesn't have the visual creativity, charm or humor of Sam Raimi's original 1981 classic, and it's also not nearly as visceral or brutal as Fede Alvarez's 2013 remake.
This is a movie that doesn't fully commit to either side, and instead feels like an underwhelming lukewarm middle between the two extremes. The one thing the movie does try to do to stand out is offer a different setting, going away from the typical, creepy log cabin we've become accustomed to and instead takes place in a LA based apartment complex.
The only problem is the movie does very little with this change, and there really isn't a memorable set piece or action sequence taken from this change, it might as well have taken place in a log cabin.
