EVIL DEAD RISE
A Tale Of Two Sisters
Every home needs a chainsaw, just in case.
Fede Álvarez’s 2013 “reimagining” of Evil Dead was a satisfactory, if po-faced, attempt to resurrect the franchise. It performed fairly at the box office, but didn’t have much of a lasting impact. Ten years later, Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise feels like more of a fan-pleaser. With its relentless gore and moments of queasy humour, it’s a solid evocation of Sam Raimi’s trilogy.
